      Overview

      Use the Goal Review Booster to help managers and employees share an understanding of the employee's progress on their goal(s) at a glance.

      The Goal Review Booster encourages regular dialogue around the employee's goal and makes it easy for both parties to keep track of goal progression, as well as to keep goals top of mind throughout the year. 

      Requirements

      • Available for Performance Review and 1-on-1 cycles
      • Available to organizations with Goals enabled

      Use Cases

      The Goal Review Booster can support the goal planning and review process, such as:

      • Quarterly goal progress conversations
      • Goal-setting conversations
      • Informal goal check-ins between managers and employees
      • Conversations about goals the employee has recently accomplished

      The Booster can also help track discussion around a goal, i.e. what action items did you agree on? What challenges and solutions occurred? etc.
