What is this for?

The Individual Performance Objective Setting Agreement is designed to facilitate the establishment of clear and measurable goals for employees. It provides a structured framework for managers and employees to collaboratively define performance objectives aligned with organisational priorities and individual development needs.

This template enables organisations to enhance employee performance by setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) objectives that serve as benchmarks for evaluation and feedback.

By outlining expectations and aligning individual goals with broader organisational objectives, it promotes accountability, motivation, and productivity in the workplace.

  • Flexibility and Adaptability: Maintain flexibility in the objective-setting process to allow for adjustments based on changing circumstances, priorities, or individual development needs.
