WorkDove's goals feature allows you to include contributors when creating or editing a goal. This functionality is available to all users, with slight differences depending on your goal configuration: cascading or simplified.
What is a Contributor?
A contributor is someone who directly impacts the results or completion of a goal but is not primarily responsible for it. You can assign as many contributors as needed to a goal.
Setting Up Goal Contributors:
Cascading Goals Configuration: Contributors are always enabled and do not require additional setup in your account settings.
Simplified Goals Configuration: Users must enable the "Enable Goal Contributors" setting in their account to access this feature.
Examples of Contributors:
Someone actively involved in executing tasks related to the goal.
Team members providing essential support or resources directly linked to goal achievement.
Benefits of Assigning Contributors:
Enhanced Collaboration: Contributors can actively engage in goal progress, fostering a sense of shared ownership.
Transparent Communication: Assigning contributors ensures relevant team members stay informed about updates and changes to the goal.
Streamlined Accountability: Clear identification of contributors facilitates accountability for progress and results.
Contributor Capabilities:
Goals Application: Contributors can edit and update assigned goals.
Check-In Application: Contributors can edit and update assigned goal.
Performance Review Application: Contributors cannot add assigned goals to their self-assessment. This action is limited to the person responsible for the goal.
How to Assign a Goal Contributor:
In the "General" tab, you can find the contributor field when creating or updating a goal.
To add a contributor(s), follow these simple steps:
Navigate to the "General" tab when creating or updating a goal.
Locate the contributor field within the tab.
Search and select the appropriate individual(s) from the search results.
By following these steps, you can easily assign contributors to your goals, enabling effective collaboration and alignment toward achieving desired outcomes.
