Why are workers not assigned goals immediately after their manager assigns a goal or their HR specialist mass assigns goals?

When manager assigns a goal to their direct reports or an HR specialist creates a mass assignment process, a scheduled process is created for goal assignment. Administrators need to schedule this process.

They need to go to My Client Groups > Scheduled Process for Goals. This table lists the parameters that the administrator can use to schedule the process.

Process Type Process Name
Mass assign or share goals The name of the mass assignment process that needs to be scheduled.
Assign goal plans The name of the goal plan that includes the goals to be assigned.

The goals will be assigned to the direct reports after the process completes. Administrators need to review the process log and check if the goal is assigned. Sometimes the goals aren't assigned to a worker because the maximum goal limit for the goal plan is reached or if no goal plan is assigned to the worker.
