OKRs vs. SMART Goals: How They Differ and When to Use Each

15Five KPIs, OKRs, HRIS, SMART goals… so many acronyms floating around in the universe of HR (yet another acronym!). A familiar scenario for many in the profession is sitting in a meeting where certain acronyms are being tossed around while everyone nods and smiles, pretending to know exactly what they mean and how they apply to the business (even if they don’t).  When it comes to effective goal setting, there are two widely used methodologies — OKRs and SMART goals. If you’re using one or the other (or neither), it’s important to understand not only what the acronyms stand for but what they really mean and how to apply each framework to your own organizational goals. Formalized goal setting is essential for any organization that wants to achieve high performance. Well-crafted goals using a standardized system help employees focus on and prioritize the right things at the right times. And when you use the appropriate framework to motivate employees and tap into their intrinsic motivations, they’re more likely to achieve their goals (or at least get pretty darn close).  SMART goals and OKRs both provide specific steps to develop a realistic and time-bound plan for an organization, team, or individual to reach their goals. But the way the two methodologies are structured is quite different. Read on for a high-level overview of each framework, what makes OKR and SMART goals different, and how to choose the right one for your organization. What are SMART goals? SMART goals have been around for a few decades, developed as part of Peter Drucker’s Management by Objectives (MBO) system. In the MBO system, the objectives of an organization are decided and agreed upon by managers and their employees to help the employee understand what’s expected of them and, therefore, what their individual goals should...

4 Pivotal Ways an OKR Dashboard Drives Alignment and High Performance

15Five When done right, the objectives and key results (OKR) framework can help an organization increase employee engagement, productivity, and motivation. But setting OKRs is just the first step. Tracking and visualizing progress is critical in helping individuals and teams achieve those goals. That’s why an OKR dashboard is such a valuable tool. Read on to learn four ways an OKR dashboard can help align your entire organization around shared goals while increasing individual and team performance. What is an OKR dashboard? Just like your car’s dashboard displays important metrics like how many miles you’ve put on and how much gas you have in the tank, an OKR dashboard shows your OKR goals and how much progress has been made on each objective and key result. Visualizing progress in this way helps employees and leaders keep track of where they’re at on personal OKRs, team-level OKRs, and organizational goals. (Think of it as your OKR scorecard.) Being able to see and discuss individual and team objectives while tracking and measuring key results can improve transparency and motivate employees to perform at a higher level.  Need help writing effective objectives and key results? Check out these OKR examples. >  Four ways an OKR dashboard drives performance With a holistic performance management solution that includes an OKR dashboard, you can track OKRs in real-time and see a birds-eye view of individual and team progress. And while there are many (many) other ways an OKR dashboard can positively impact performance, we managed to narrow it down to four of the most compelling. 1. Goals that are visualized in a dashboard are more likely to be achieved. Research shows documenting goals significantly increases the chances of achieving them. Visualizing OKRs in an easy-to-read dashboard gives employees and managers visibility into progress, wins, and roadblocks,...

The Power of Positive Feedback at Work

15Five Have you heard the legend of Sisyphus, the ancient Greek prince?  Sisyphus incurred the wrath of Hades, god of the underworld, and was doomed to a horrible fate. Each morning, he would roll an enormous boulder up a mountainside. But before he reached the top, it would slip out of his grasp, and roll back down to where he started.  That would be frustrating for anyone — to this day, we call endless, unrewarding tasks Sisyphean. To feel fulfilled at work, we need to feel like we’re getting somewhere, whether you’re appeasing an ancient god or a demanding client.  Research has shown that a sense of progress can be the most powerful workplace motivator — sometimes even more than compensation.  But how do we know if we’re making progress? One of the most important ways is through positive feedback.  Positive feedback isn’t just about kind words. It reaffirms that we’re having an impact — that our efforts are paying off. It’s inspiring, motivating, and it shows us where to focus our efforts in the future.  But not all feedback is created equal.

Giving positive feedback at work means telling someone they did a good job, exceeded expectations, or produced great results — that they exhibited good workplace behavior.  But there’s so much more to positive feedback than words of praise.  When it’s done right, feedback in the workplace is a form of positive reinforcement. By letting team members know when they’ve done well, you encourage more of that desired behavior and those good results in the future.  Positive reinforcement has its roots in operant learning theory....
