Hello,
As part of our annual performance evaluation process, we include goals as a weighted section of our appraisal forms. Every year, we run into issues where incorrect dates are being used on the goals (ex. completion date in a different FY than the goal year/appraisal period) or the manager/employee doesn't approve/accept the goal prior to appraisals being created (resulting in no goal in the appraisal and receiving a "0" for that section).
Does your organization include goals as part of the appraisal? If so, how do you handle them and combat these issues? If not, do you handle goals outside of the appraisal process? How so? Thank you for any insight you can provide!
