Why Use Results-Oriented Job Objectives

Job Objectives are typically written in conjunction with individual employee performance plans or organization strategic plans in order to focus an employee’s attention on important requirements.

Putting job objectives into the job description creates a contemporary document in the manager-employee performance planning process, not just something filed away in response to a human resource management requirement.

Work progress can be easily appraised and modified at the end of each performance period—or anytime a manager wishes to appraise progress toward desired results or to make changes in direction or process.
