How do I set SMART Goals?

For many organisations, less than 3 % of goals that are set are SMART. When goals are not SMART, it can be difficult to fully understand what the desired end result is, which can cause friction between the Employee and their Manager. It can also be difficult to tell if goals are progressing as needed without the clearly defined SMART criteria.

So, what does SMART mean? It's an acronym and goal setting methodology that stands for:

  • Specific
  • Measurable
  • Actionable
  • Relevant
  • Time-bound

WorkCompass will help you to set SMART goals using our artificial intelligence tool. The tool and will read what you write and advise you on how you can make your goals smarter. If all letters (SMART) on your goal are lit up, then it means you created a SMART goal.

Below is an example of a goal that doesn't meet any of the SMART criteria VS a goal that meets all of the SMART criteria.

A goal that does not meet any SMART criteria

 

A goal that meets all of the SMART criteria

Note: While the system incentivises you to a craft fully SMART goals, this is not a requirement of goal-setting. Sometimes goals might not be relevant for larger company goals and that’s okay.
You can move past the goal setting screen if not all SMART criteria are met.
