Align an individual goal

Goal alignment involves linking individual goals to a top-level goal, allowing progress at the individual level to influence the overall objective.

It ensures all efforts contribute to broader organizational objectives, improves tracking, increases accountability, and enhances cross-functional collaboration.

Goal creators, assigners, and owners can align individual goals. Admins have additional permissions to align top-level goals and manage their alignment.

📒Note: You can align only goals, not key results.

You can align goals when they contribute to a strategic objective or top-level goal or reflect team efforts.

💡Tips:

To align a key result, first convert it into a goal.

Only aligned goals contribute to top-level goal progress.

Remove alignment when the goal no longer impacts the parent goal.

Navigate to Apps > Goals.

Perform the following actions based on your role and the goal you prefer to align:

Role	Navigation
Goal owner (Individual goal)	My Goals > My Goals tab.
Goal assigner (Individual goal)	My Goals > Assigned by Me tab.
Admin (Top-level goal)	Go to Top Level Goals.
Admin (Individual goal)	Select My Org > Select an employee.
Manager (Direct report’s goal)	Select a team > Select an employee.
