1. Explain the expectations clearly
Don’t just set a goal and align them to employees to work on. HR’s should precisely mention what company is expecting from the
employees. HR’s should take the lead to help employees in understanding on how they can personally contribute to accomplish
these goals. And make sure the new hires do not find it a shock. Almost 57% of the employees say that their HR’s don’t give those
clear directions, whereas 13% say their managers help them in achieving company goals.
2. Set goals as attainable, but challenging

Achieving the desired goals require hard work and commitment from the employees. The most important role of HR’s in goal setting
is to parallely set long term goals along with smaller incremental goals. The smaller attainable goals will give employees the
confidence and enough experience to achieve long term challenging goals.
3. Train the employees
Another important peg in HR’s role is to keep a track on how employees are performing. If necessary HR’s should provide or arrange
training session to the employees to develop their skills, knowledge and competency in their field to help them effectively
accomplishing the goals. Creating mentorship and training programmes is one important reason to keep lower attrition rate. 54% of
employees would like more job­specific training.
4. Foster collaboration
HR’s should effectively create a healthy environment within the organisation where employees can communicate and collaborate
with other employees, either from same department or other departments as well. Such meetings are helpful in sharing knowledge
among peers, generate help on job related difficulties etc. About 88% of employees are satisfied with their foster collaboration and
also morale is high in their office.
5. Give evaluation & feedback regularly
The practice of regular evaluation & feedback is the best way to keep motivating employees and help them in understanding their
areas of improvement. HR’s need to keep a balance on highlighting strengths as well as weaknesses of employees. Constructive
criticism is the best way to identify the progress in achieving goals at hand, and helps HR’s to do effective appraisal as well. Tools
like applicant tracking systemproduces real­time reports for each recruiter with exact particulars of work done every day, targets
achieved & what was missed.
6. Recognize achievements
After successfully achieving the desired company goals, HR’s should immediately look to acknowledge the achievements
and performance of the employees. It could be a note of thanks, appreciation from the clients, or the best being exciting rewards for
both individual as well as team. Such recognitions always keeps employees motivated and encourages them to try harder next time.
