Atlas Objectives provides an Employee Report that documents performance for all agreed upon Objectives, Strategies and associated Milestone dates. The Employee Report automatically tracks progress for these performance criteria and can be printed at any time. This is a great report to use in the employee review meeting because it provides an unbiased view of performance.

Primary Objectives are required to redeem the overall goal of the department or company. These Primary Objectives must be completed to insure the success of the organization. Secondary Objectives are objectives that will enhance the performance of the organization but are not critical to its success. Secondary Objectives should have completion dates that fall after the Primary Objectives dates.

The best practice is for a manager meet with his/her direct reports once a week. This can be a relatively quick meeting to review progress on all assigned objectives and to discuss potential road blocks and or delays. At the very minimum this meeting should take place on a monthly basis. It is extremely important that each employee know that their manger cares about their assigned objectives and is willing to do whatever it takes to make the employee successful.
