How You Share Development Goals

Managers and workers can share development goals so that others can add the shared goal to their development plan.

To share goals, select the goals and then from the Action menu, select Share.

Managers can share their goals with all their reporting workers or selected workers. Workers can share their goals with their colleagues. When you share the goals, measurements and tasks associated with the goal are also shared. People with whom you the share the goal get a notification.

You can see the shared goals in the Goals Shared with Me region of your Career Development page. You can see the goals shared by your managers in the Managers Goals section. You can see the goals shared by your colleagues in the Colleague Goals section. You can review and add them as your goals. Select the shared goals and click the Add as My Goal button. Use the Hide button in the region to hide the shared goals.

Shared Attributes

The recipient of the shared goal can see these attributes of the original goal:

  • Goal name

  • Goal details including start date, category, level, priority, description, related link, and attachments

  • Development intents

  • Measurement attributes including measurement name, unit of measure, target type, and target value

  • Target outcome attributes including name, description, and source

  • Tasks attributes including name, type, priority, start date, and related link

Note: Feature choices determine if you can add target outcomes and tasks to a goal. You set up feature choices in the Setup and Maintenance work area. When you share a goal, you can decide further whether to share tasks, if enabled.

Adding and Updating Shared Goals

Adding a shared goal to your development plan doesn't change the original goal. You can update a goal added from a shared goal and change the goal name and dates. You can add target outcomes and tasks to the goal.

Impact of Worker or Manager Transfers

Goals shared by managers aren't impacted by worker or manager transfers. Even after a worker is no longer a direct report, goals shared by their former manager are still available to the worker as shared goals.
