Target Setting – Employee

Target Setting involves a joint agreement on the results and behavior expectations linked to the success of the
team and organization. Targets can be set for just the fiscal year or carry over from the previous year.

Be Prepared - Think of job responsibilities or projects you
want to address with your manager
Own the conversation - Identify the expectations you
want to prioritize for the next months. Define what support you
need from your manager to meet your targets. Listen carefully to
feedback and switch perspectives.
Questions you could ask:
• Where do I see that I can add value to our department
reaching our goals?
• What is currently important to me, for my
performance, for reaching business related expectations?
• How can my manager support me in fulfilling expectations?
• What projects do I want to accomplish in the next fiscal year?

Confirm your agreement - Summarize your

understanding of the conversation and make sure you are on the
same page with your manager.
Document - Your manager can cascade the organization
