How should mangers reward employees who always green, meaning they are always staying ahead of their milestone dates, strategies and associated objectives?

One way to reward performance is to provide a monthly internal memo listing each employee who has remained green each month. The management team can also set up an annual performance bonus for each employee who redeems all strategies and objectives ahead of the milestone dates. Meeting and exceeding objectives also becomes an important part of the employee’s performance review.

How does the Atlas Objectives Dashboard help managers to be more efficient and effective?

When the employee and manager meet and agree on all strategies to redeem assigned objectives, they will also agree on milestone dates to complete these strategies. A yellow indicator light on the dashboard will alert the manager as well as the employee if any of these milestone dates have been missed. If the milestone date exceeds 10 business days the indicator light will turn red. A daily look at The Atlas Objectives Dashboard allows the manager and employees to stay on top of all objectives and strategies.

How should a manager review each employee’s strategies to insure success?

Once the employee has developed their individual strategies for each objective a review meeting with the manager should be set. During this meeting, the employee will review their strategies for each objective and possible revise some strategies based upon the discussion with the manager. This will be a very productive meeting with good discussion and the net result will be agreement on all strategies to meet and exceed each objective.
