Describing Development Goal Management

Users can access their development goals by navigating to Goals using the Main Menu, then Development Goals, or by selecting the My Goals tile on the home page. The images below show the different navigation options and actions when accessing the Development Goal Plan.

1. Users can toggle between Performance Goals and Development Goals, if a Development Plan is available for them. That way, from the same menu, employees and managers can easily review Performance and Development Goals.
2. In this section we can display the total goal count, and the goal count by status. Each status can be selected to filter and see only those goals in the Goal Plan. Additionally, an "i" icon displays if there are any warnings.
3. The introduction text is available here. Select "Introduction" to display or hide the text.
4. Goal Categories: Organize Goals into different Categories.
5. Goal Cards: Each Goal created has its own Goal Card with the details of the Goal.

   • Create Development Goals, either manually or with help from AI.
