How to create a goal?
Updated over a week ago

To start, you should know that the HR admin has the possibility to customize the fields that will appear when creating an objective (priority, weighting etc...) and the possibility to define a rule of creation "hierarchical" (Managers will be able to create objectives only to their L-1 and the employee only to himself) or "free" (Each employee can set objectives to the person desired)

If you want the objectives to go up in the interviews, they must be created before launching your campaign

As part of a "free" creation rule, the user can create an objective in the Dashboard with New goal.

You can then configure your lens from the creation window:

The HR admin can massively create goals for a group of users via import or on the platform.

For managers under a "hierarchical" creation rule, the manager can create an objective from the "My Team" menu by clicking on the "Create an objective" button in the "Objectives" tab:

The different fields when creating an objective:

​Title: formulate a clear and understandable title. Add a description to specify the purpose

To be evaluated: indicates that the objective created is to be evaluated during the next interview campaign and will therefore automatically go up in the interview of the employee concerned

Assigned to: Select the owner of the lens. If the goal is created from a user's profile page, the user will be populated by default.

Add a parent objective: Click on "Add Parent Goal" if you want to create a sub-goal

Target: define the target value to be achieved and its unit:

- If the objective is qualitative: use scale from 0 to 100% or binary mode 0/1#

- If the objective is quantitative: define the value to be achieved and its unit of measure (percentage, cash, monetary...)

- If the starting value of the lens is different from zero, you can enter it in starting/current value"

Period concerned: select the target date by using the period shortcut or by setting the period manually via the "+ start date/limit" option

​The starting value of an objective is the value at which sub wants to start your objective, for example 0 if the objective has just been created because you will start from 0 in order to reach 100% (Target)

​The current value will be the value to enter in the progress bar when evaluating the goal, i.e. the progress of this goal, (Ex / Half the goal has been reached, so I enter 50% in current value )

​Advanced Options:

Priority: indicate the priority level of the objective (from P1 to P4, P1 being the highest priority). Priority is indicative and does not count towards the average achievement of the objective.

Weighting: For information, you can manually set the lens weighting. Weighting on each objective allows their proportional importance to be taken into account in calculating the average overall achievement of the objectives.

For example:

The first objective has a weight of 40.

The second objective has a weight of 90.

The third objective has a weight of 25.

The fourth objective has a weight of 60.

The total weighting of the objectives in this example is 54%. The Javelo platform recalculates by cross product from the total weights. This results in an overall average achievement taking into account the actual weight of each objective.

Updating the objectives

At any time, during or outside the interview, it is possible for the manager and the employee to update the objectives.

An update history allows you to track what was changed, when and by which actor.

Different statuses are available, from “Not started” to “Achieved”. For quantitative objectives, these statutes have indicative values. For qualitative objectives, the “Meet” and “Exceeded” statuses result in a 100% advancement calculated in the overall average. The other statutes maintain the advancement at 0%.
