Are you staring at the computer screen wondering where to start? Here are four kinds of goals that you might consider when establishing your performance goals.<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Essence of the Job Goals<\/span> \u2013 These are the goals that clearly describe tasks that are required on the job.\u00a0 For example, an accountant might have a goal to prepare and submit monthly financial statements.\u00a0 A librarian might have a goal to catalogue and reshelf returned books within 12 hours.\u00a0 A mail clerk might have a goal that requires her to deliver all mail daily to all work sites.\u00a0 Essence of the job goals make the expectations for the job clearer than they are listed on the job description.\u00a0 These goals personalize the job to the position and to the individual employee by providing a measurable target.<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Project Goals <\/span>\u2013 Project goals are those activities that you pursue with a beginning and an end and may be above and beyond the employee\u2019s routine duties.\u00a0 Project goals can be related to improving systems, developing new products, creating new programs, or finishing a task that just hasn\u2019t gotten done before.<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Professional Development Goals<\/span> \u2013 Professional development goals specify what you will learn in the coming year.\u00a0 While attending a class to learn something new is nice, I challenge you to find new ways to develop your skills while clearly linking your learning to the organization\u2019s needs.\u00a0 For example, \u201ccross training in a new work area at least one day per week\u201d is a professional development goal. A better goal would be to cross train in the accounting department at least once per week and be able to reconcile bank statements by October 31. Or, \u201cattend a training class on PowerPoint and develop a new slide show to be used in new employee orientation\u201d would be more challenging than just attending the class.\u00a0 Make sure the professional development goals not only develop your skills, but also help your organization.<\/p>\n<p>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Performance Improvement Goals<\/span> \u2013 Performance improvement goals should be saved for those times when it\u2019s clear your behavior must change.\u00a0 Performance improvement goals include things like, \u201carrive to work ready to serve customers at 8 a.m. every day\u201d or \u201climit the number of customer complaints you receive to three per quarter.\u201d\u00a0 Obviously, not everyone needs these kinds of goals.\u00a0 However, they can be helpful in documenting your improvements over time.\u00a0<b><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the time of year when many public employees are struggling to set performance goals for the coming year.
