Goal Management

Promote effective and immediate two-way communication with goal management

Goal management, done effectively, will help your employees understand their impact on company success. The SumTotal Goal Management module helps you communicate critical goals and measure employee performance. Transform each employee's goals into an individual scorecard that can be aligned directly to your corporate strategy. Ensure consistency and track progress while work is underway—not just when it’s due.

With our goal management module, employees have a clear line of sight to strategic organizational objectives, and executives and managers can easily review team and individual goals. At each level, managers or employees can define sub-goals as well as copy, edit, and/or cascade goals. Also, the hierarchical goal structure allows easy alignment among organizational goals, departmental goals, and individual goals.
