This activity is used to create an objective and then assign it to an individual employee. Creating individual objectives is helpful in measuring employee performance against an individual target related directly or indirectly to a job profile or employee's day-to-day project operations. It also helps define a development and career path for an employee.
Objectives can be assigned to an employee using Employee Objectives or Performance Evaluation Details.
If you use Employee Objectives, the objective is required to be already created in the Predefined Objectives and Activities. Performance Periods and Performance Status have to be already defined in the system as well.
If you use Performance Evaluation Details, you will need to select the employee and performance period first. To assign objectives to the employee, select the New Objective option which will guide you to a New Objective assistant. You can select a predefined objective using the list or define a New Objective ID (which is not predefined) for the employee.
Specify the target to achieve in the Target field. Specify the objective weight in the Weight field. Note that the total of all objectives should reach a value of 100 percent. Therefore, the weight of one objective is a percentage of the total weight of all objectives against which your performance is measured. Enter a description for the objective in the Description field. If you have entered a predefined objective, the objective description will show by default. In the Responsible For Follow Up field, indicate the person who is responsible for the fulfillment of the objective. Select a person using the list. If the field is left blank, the system would generate the employee ID of the person to whom the objective is being assigned. Select the Use Activity Rating option if you want to calculate the performance score of the objective based on the ratings given for activities.
To assign objectives via Employee Objectives, the objective is required to be already created in the Predefined Objectives and Activities. Performance Periods and Performance Status have to be already defined in the system as well.
The newly assigned objective will be displayed in both Employee Objectives and Performance Evaluation Details.
