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 that stands for:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Actionable
- Relevant
- Time-bound
WorkCompass will help you to set SMART goals using an artificial intelligence tool. The tool will pop up to guide you through the process, and will read what you write and tell you how to make your goals smarter. If all the letters 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
