|#HR2018

8. Making Your Goals SMART
Specific
Measureable
Achievable
Relevant
Time-based
|#HR2018

9. Specific
● Vague goals often go unmet since it’s
often unclear how to achieve them.
● Define exactly what the goals are & the
ways in which you plan to do so.
|#HR2018
EXAMPLE
Don’t just say you want to increase employee
retention, but rather that you want to increase it
by a certain percentage using X, Y, and Z
tactics.

10. Measurable
● Goal has to be measurable to understand your
own success
● Quantifying your goals makes it easier to
objectively evaluate performance.
EXAMPLE QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF
● How many new hires do you want to bring on this
year?
● By what percentage are you going to reduce your
costs per hire?
● How much time will you save every month by
automating certain processes?
|#HR2018

11. Achievable
● Be realistic with the goals that you set.
● Stretch goals are important to challenge
yourself, but you don’t want to set yourself
up to fail.
● Make sure that your goals can be realistically
achieved through your action plan.
|#HR2018

12. Relevant
● You goals should align with a bigger objective that your
team or your business is trying to achieve
● Goals that aren’t aligned with broader business
objectives are a distraction that should almost certainly
be avoided.
● Make sure that you always set your goals within the
context of what the business is working towards.
|#HR2018

13. Time-based
● Establish a timeline for achieving each goal:
○ Monthly
○ Quarterly
○ Annually
● By making goals time-based, you can prioritize what to
focus on when, so you’ve got a clear path forward.
● Makes your goals precise so that you can accurately
assess whether or not you’ve achieved them.
