Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) is a widely used goal-setting strategy in an organization. The main aim of OKRs is to link personal goals and team goals to the company objectives. This way all team members and managers work together on the same goals. OKRs can be implemented with the help of an innovative performance management software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another main purpose of having OKRs in an organization is to create transparency in terms of clarifying what is expected out of employees at work. This transparency is required because then employees will realize that they are working towards the same goals and they will also be able to contribute to the goals that others are working on.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Introducing OKRs are one practice that every team or organization should adopt because it is considerably light-weight, and it does not take up too much of your time and resources. When companies implement OKRs the right way, they can see enormous results in terms of increased employee productivity, focus and improved company culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Intel President Andy Grove for implementing the concept of OKRs in the 1970s, as a lot of well-known companies such as Google, LinkedIn and Twitter use OKRs and they love them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OKR Framework\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The OKR framework is very simple to use: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The company begins by defining 3-5 objectives for the business, departments and individual employees. Under each objective you could define 3-5 key results. Key results are measurable and achievable. It can either be based on performance or engagement.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After creating the objectives and key results, the company cascades those OKRs to everyone, the teams and the employees. You need to streamline the OKRs in such a way that everybody has a clear understanding of them. Once your employees start working on those objectives, they regularly update their progress- monthly or quarterly basis.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

OKRs must be reviewed regularly and the company must ensure that there is enough flexibility because your team goals and employee goals might change due to various circumstances, therefore, your OKRs change as well. At the end of the day, your employees and business matter the most, more than the structure.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
