The job in front of you Sound familiar?
Teams have long task lists, but no shared view of the results they need to achieve.
Key results describe activities, so nobody can tell whether a goal has been reached.
Goals are announced at the start of the quarter, then rarely discussed.
You need to introduce OKRs and explain the process to managers and employees.
What you will have after the course
A clearer set of goals
Check objectives and key results for clarity, measurable outcomes and alignment across teams.
An OKR launch plan
Prepare leadership and employee briefings, check readiness and plan the first goal-setting meeting.
A repeatable review cycle
Use meeting agendas, progress checks, scoring and retrospective questions to plan the next cycle.
Start today, for free

- In Goals and OKR in PapaHR you set company, department and personal objectives for the quarter and see the progress of each one.
