Step 001: Define the overall goal / key result of the business. It is critical that everyone on your team is aware of the bigger picture and overall aims of the business. This is especially true when looking at your employee’s involvement in achieving their goals. People who set objectives are 10 times more likely to succeed than those who don’t. As a result, setting a corporate objective with measurable metrics is the way to go and an excellent approach. Then, find a location/platform where you can share this information with each employee.
