Approving Goals
If you are a manager, approving a goal is an opportunity for you to provide input on the employee’s goal. This step is required before employees can change the status of their goals to in progress.
You cannot reject a goal. Instead, add comments to the goal, or meet with your employee to discuss any changes that need to be made before the goal can be approved.
To approve a goal:
-
From the home screen of your Employee Center role, go to Talent > Goals.
-
From the list of your direct reports, select a direct report.
-
From the Planned column, click a goal. Goals that require approval have a Pending Approval banner.
-
Review the goal details, targets, and dates.
Note:After you approve a goal, the employee can no longer edit the Goal Name and Details fields. Ensure these fields are acceptable before you approve a goal.
-
(Optional) To add a comment to the goal, click the Comments subtab. Enter a comment, and then click Submit.
-
To approve the goal, in the Goal subtab, click Approve.
After you approve a goal, an email notification is sent to the employee.
