Align Employee Goals to Corporate Goals

Research suggests that top-performing organizations directly link employee goals to strategy, but the vast majority of companies fail to make this association clear and actionable. Too often, employee goals are completely separate from organizational strategy and are reviewed with little, if any, discussion on how a given employee's behavior is truly impacting organizational objectives. Leaders say employees are their most valuable asset, but do they know if this asset is providing the best possible return? Do employees understand how they impact the company's performance?

Software That Links Employees to Strategy, Initiatives, and Performance Metrics: ActiveStrategy Enterprise is the only software that truly supports top-down cascading of strategy, bottom-up creation of employee goals, and provides the ability to link, display, and review both within a single view. Employee performance management systems provide, at best, a list of very high-level corporate goals to which employees are supposed to link. But these goals are typically so broad and high-level that virtually any employee-level goal can be forced to "fit" and sound aligned. By contrast, ActiveStrategy Enterprise displays specific cascaded organizational objectives, metrics, and initiatives/projects on an individual employee's Personal Goal scorecard, allowing performance reviews to focus on detailed, meaningful, measured areas of personal responsibility.

Clarifies Employees' Roles: Does everyone in your organization understand the fundamental strategy? Can they see how their work contributes to the organization's goals? When employees understand where the organization is going and how they can help drive toward success, they become infinitely more engaged. And a truly engaged workforce can have a massive impact on success.

Goal Management that Rewards the Right Behavior: Organizations often tie incentive compensation to personal goals, which means that the content of these goals can greatly impact employee behavior. So it's critical that these goals are incenting employees to contribute toward organizational strategy.

Provides Email Alerts to Keep Reviews On Track: ActiveStrategy Enterprise will send customized email alerts directly to employees and managers when reviews and action plans need to be updated, helping to maintain focus on these important ties to organizational performance.
