Implement SMART Goal Alignment for Employee Tasks

This procedure re-aligns employee output by replacing ambiguous expectations with a structured SMART framework. Required materials: Current job description, project task list, and SMART criteria definition sheet.

1. Review the employee's current task list and identify all objectives that lack clear metrics or deadlines.
2. Redraft each task to meet the SMART criteria: Specific (clearly defined), Measurable (quantifiable output), Achievable (realistic scope), Relevant (aligned to organizational goals), and Time-bound (set start and end dates).
3. Schedule a 1-on-1 meeting to present the revised tasks, ensuring the employee acknowledges and understands the new, precise expectations.
4. Document the updated SMART goals in a shared performance tracking document accessible to both manager and employee.
5. Verify the fix by monitoring output during the next project cycle to ensure the employee meets the newly defined, measurable milestones.
