They provide <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/how-global-teams-can-transform-your-business\/\">transparency across the entire business<\/a> and allow your team to know how they&#8217;re contributing to the broader business goals.\n\nWhy should I do this now, I hear you ask? We all know that having goals to aim for <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/support-remote-employee-wellbeing\/\">keeps your team engaged<\/a>, motivated and productive.\n\nA study by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/services\/182138\/state-american-manager.aspx?ays=n\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Gallup<\/a> explored the impact of managers setting actionable goals for employees. <strong>The findings?<\/strong> 69 percent of employees who reported feeling engaged at their place of employment worked with their managers to set performance goals<em>.<\/em>\n\nNot only this, but as remote working becomes a norm, having a goal-setting process in place will help your business <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/the-remote-first-workplace-playbook\/\">transition to a remote-first workplace<\/a> with ease. Through goal setting, high-performing teams are motivated to continue reaching their goals even when transitioning to remote work.\n<h2 id=\"how-to-choose-a-goal-framework-for-remote-teams\">How to choose a goal framework for remote teams<\/h2>\nGoal setting is more than just a list of ambitious things you&#8217;d like to achieve on it. Goals should follow a framework and inspire remote workers to work toward them.\n\nAt 91±¬ΑΟ, we love using <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/okrs-guide\/\">OKRs<\/a> (Objectives and Key Results).\n\nOKRs consist of an <strong>objective<\/strong>, which can be thought of as the thing that defines the goal you&#8217;d like to achieve. Think of it as the <em>&#8216;what&#8217;<\/em> or the &#8216;<em>where do we want to go<\/em>?&#8217;.\n\nFrom here, there are up to 5 <strong>key results<\/strong>. Think of this as the measurement of your success or the tracking towards your objective<em> (how do we know we&#8217;re making progress?&#8217;).<\/em>\n\nLastly, each OKR can also have <strong>initiatives<\/strong>. Think of these initiatives as a to-do list that describe what you need to do to reach your goals.\n\nOKRs, not your jam? Take a look at these other goal frameworks:\n<ul>\n<li>The Rockefeller habits<\/li>\n<li>Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)<\/li>\n<li>Goal Pyramid<\/li>\n<li>BHAG<\/li>\n<li>SMART goals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAt the end of the day, there are countless goal-setting frameworks out there. The key to creating and successfully managing goals for a remote team comes down to finding a framework that works for you and your team members.\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-benefits-of-having-okrs-for-remote-work\">What are the benefits of having OKRs for remote work?<\/h2>\nHaving clear goals in place also provides structure and alignment to help your entire team stay focused and work towards a common goal.\n\nIt&#8217;s important to note that somewhere along the way you might realise that you didn&#8217;t make goals as ambitious enough and that&#8217;s okay. Remember you can make changes to your OKRs when needed.\n\nGetting your company OKRs just right takes a long time and practice.\n\nIf you&#8217;re looking for more information on how to introduce OKRs into your business, we&#8217;ve created this handy blog here.\n<h2 id=\"how-to-set-remote-team-goals-using-okrs\">How to set remote team goals using OKRs<\/h2>\nWhether you&#8217;re new to the concept of goal setting with OKRs or consider yourself a seasoned pro in performance management, here are eight of our favourite ways to successfully set goals with OKRs remotely.\n<h3 id=\"1-provide-resources-to-your-remote-team-prior-to-establishing-okrs\">1. Provide resources to your remote team prior to establishing OKRs<\/h3>\nWith so many changes occurring to the way we work over the past few years, it&#8217;s no surprise that your entire team may have put achieving their big overarching goals at the bottom of their to-do list.\n\nMany businesses have had to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/distributed-workforce-companies\/\">adapt their business operations<\/a> in recent years, throwing business as usual and the company&#8217;s goals that come along with it out the window. Now that many of us have started to adapt to our new way of work, it&#8217;s a great time to put your company&#8217;s goal front of mind.\n\nIf your company goals have shifted, that&#8217;s fine too &#8211; sometimes a &#8216;reset&#8217; can be the best way to set OKRs. By providing useful resources to your team members, they can quickly learn about setting goals effectively with OKRs.\n\nThis goes from each individual right through to the team and company level.\n\nIf you&#8217;re looking for some resources to set remote employees for success, we&#8217;ve put together some here:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/okrs-guide\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">What Are OKRs?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/okrs-guide\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">OKRs vs. KPIs. What&#8217;s The Difference?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/how-to-implement-okrs\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Introducing OKRs Into The Business<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"2-reflect-on-previous-company-goals-you-had-in-place\">2. Reflect on previous company goals you had in place<\/h3>\nWhen it comes to setting goals with OKRs, it&#8217;s important to spend time reflecting on previous goals you had in place.\n\nTo help get a grasp on their effectiveness of them, you can ask yourself and your team the following questions:\n<ul>\n<li>Were they ambitious enough?<\/li>\n<li>How close did you get to achieving them?<\/li>\n<li>What was in your way?<\/li>\n<li>What did you learn from the challenges?<\/li>\n<li>What did you do well that can be carried over to your new goals?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"3-set-a-time-for-team-leaders-to-walkthrough-okrs-with-team-members\">3. Set a time for team leaders to walkthrough OKRs with team members<\/h3>\nIt&#8217;s no surprise that establishing OKRs and goal setting can be confusing and overwhelming, especially if you have people in your team that are new to the framework.\n\nSo with this in mind, it&#8217;s important you encourage <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/communication-cadence-distributed-team\/\">team leaders to dedicate time<\/a> with their direct report to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/virtual-brainstorming-sessions\/\">brainstorm ideas<\/a> and create goals.\n\nBy doing this, you&#8217;ll be able to create alignment with the team member and give them a crystal clear direction on goal setting whilst ensuring their individual goals remain measurable and align with the company BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal).\n\nIf you&#8217;re looking for effective video call platforms, we&#8217;ve rounded up\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/remote-working-software\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">our top communication tools here<\/a>.\n<h3 id=\"4-walk-through-personal-goals-with-the-whole-team\">4. Walk through personal goals with the whole team<\/h3>\nCommunicating effectively is an important factor when it comes to defining OKRs for your team. It&#8217;s all well and good to have OKRs in the system that is all connected, but it means nothing if your remote employees don&#8217;t understand what they have to do to achieve them.\n\nTo build a productive team, schedule a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/remote-meetings-how-to-guide\/\">virtual meeting<\/a> with the remote teams where everyone talks through their OKRs and provides a breakdown of the initiatives that will help them work towards the company&#8217;s goal.\n\nThis provides clear expectations of team members across the business in regard to what every other team member is working on and how their efforts are contributing to the same goal.\n\nHaving this process in place helps employees achieve better alignment and can provide a boost of motivation as they <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/stay-connected-virtually-with-coworkers\/\">feel connected as a team<\/a>.\n\nIf you&#8217;re looking for a system that can set goals and track your OKRs, the 91±¬ΑΟ Goals feature can help. With cascading goals and a visual chart that easily shows how all goals relate back to the company-wide OKRs, you&#8217;ll know exactly what everyone in your team is working on.\n\nTo find out more information about effective goal setting,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/request-a-demo\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">get in touch with one of our small business specialists<\/a>.\n<h3 id=\"5-create-measurable-goals\">5. Create measurable goals<\/h3>\nThis is an important factor when it comes to setting goals with OKRs. You may find yourself falling into the trap of setting goals and OKRs that are a &#8216;to-do&#8217; list rather than specific goals to strive towards.\n\nSet goals should be numerical and ambitious.\n<h4 id=\"example-of-okrs-for-an-hr-professional\">Example of OKRs for an HR professional<\/h4>\n<strong><em>Objective<\/em><\/strong><em>:<\/em> Improve Employee Engagement\n\n<strong>Key Results:<\/strong>\n<ol>\n<li>Increase employee participation by 10% in the quarterly engagement survey<\/li>\n<li>Increase employee satisfaction by 5% as reflected in the quarterly engagement survey<\/li>\n<li>Leadership commit to 4 action items related to feedback<\/li>\n<li>Communicate action items and leadership owners\/champions to business through all-hands meeting and internal newsletter by 30 June 2022<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 id=\"example-of-okrs-for-a-marketing-professional\">Example of OKRs for a marketing professional<\/h4>\n<strong><em>Objective: <\/em><\/strong>Improve Newsletter Engagement\n\n<strong>Key Results:<\/strong>\n<ol>\n<li>Increase open rate by 4%<\/li>\n<li>Increase click-through rate by 3%<\/li>\n<li>A\/B test each email with different headlines and send times<\/li>\n<li>Create a branded newsletter template by 30 June 2022<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 id=\"6-ensure-individual-goals-relate-companys-bhag-big-hairy-audacious-goal\">6. Ensure individual goals relate company&#8217;s BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal)<\/h3>\nWith OKRs, it&#8217;s crucial they are aligned back to the BHAG. No matter what role an employee has in an organisation, their contribution helps achieve business success.\n\nNot only does it provide a roadmap as to how an individual&#8217;s contribution is related to the overall business goal, but it also keeps your team motivated to reach their own professional goals.\n<h3 id=\"7-get-updates-on-progress-in-weekly-meetings\">7. Get updates on progress in weekly meetings<\/h3>\nWhen working in remote environments, it can be easy to lose the accountability that became routine when you were working in the office.\n\nIn your weekly 1:1s, dedicate 5 minutes to going over your OKRs and create an action plan for that week.\n\nBy breaking down the task, it will seem more manageable and allow your remote employees to stay on track. It also means that you won&#8217;t have your team members stressing out when it&#8217;s the final week of the quarter.\n\nIn your weekly meeting, some questions you should ask:\n<ul>\n<li>Are we on track with our quarterly goals?<\/li>\n<li>What are you committing to next week to progress your OKRs?<\/li>\n<li>What have you learnt?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"8-reflect-on-the-progress-of-okrs-as-a-company\">8. Reflect on the progress of OKRs as a company<\/h3>\nIf you have weekly or fortnightly company-wide meetings online, ensure your leadership team is providing updates on your OKRs.\n\nThis should include a broad breakdown of the percentage of people who are and aren&#8217;t updating their OKRs.\n\nThis isn&#8217;t to single people out but to act as a reminder that everyone should be aligned to the company-wide OKR and continually be working towards one common goal.\n\nIt&#8217;s also an important opportunity to let your remote team know how you&#8217;re tracking as a company to achieve your BHAG.\n<h2 id=\"how-to-achieve-goal-alignment-as-a-remote-team\">How to achieve goal alignment as a remote team<\/h2>\nSo you&#8217;ve taken the first step and set up your goals. Great! But now what? Where do you go from here?\n\nSetting up your goals is the easy part. It&#8217;s the steps beyond this that involve the hard yards.\n\nCreating a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/remote-company-culture\/\">goal-driven culture<\/a> can seem like an uphill battle, but with a few little changes, you&#8217;ll have it down pat in no time.\n<h3 id=\"9-put-trust-in-remote-employees\">9. Put trust in remote employees<\/h3>\nTrust and harmonious working relationships are earnt through communication. Using the &#8216;Employee Productivity Pyramid&#8217; based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/au\/blog\/hide-and-seek\/201205\/our-hierarchy-needs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Maslow&#8217;s Hierarchy of Needs<\/a>, you want to start at the baseline where you provide your remote employees with compliance and trust.\n\nTowards the top of the pyramid is continued development. A huge effort needs to be given to career development and continued success &#8211; that&#8217;s when you get your happiest, most engaged and most productive employees.\n<h3 id=\"10-reward-and-recognise-remote-team-members\">10. Reward and recognise remote team members<\/h3>\nReward and recognition is the activity we engage in to <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/reward-and-recognition-guide\/\">acknowledge exceptional performance<\/a> and encourage specific values or behaviours.\n\nWhy are they important? Because people need to feel appreciated. Leaders can reinforce positive recognition by associating it with clear behaviours that align with the company&#8217;s values.\n\nRecognition is all about timing; it shouldn&#8217;t be &#8216;ticked off&#8217; quarterly or annually &#8211; it must be done on the day, especially in a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/overcome-challenges-hybrid-workforce\/\">hybrid work environment<\/a>. Rewards, on the other hand, need to have an element of personal value, and this is best done through choice, such as a gift card.\n\nHowever, never confuse reward and recognition with remuneration &#8211; the focus should be exclusively on celebrating your employee. This doesn&#8217;t have to be expensive; it could be as simple as a handwritten thank you card.\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/\">91±¬ΑΟ<\/a> uses shout-outs through its platform, but for business leaders that don&#8217;t have an <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/products\/hr-software\/\">HRIS system<\/a>, they can get creative on <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/remote-working-guide\/\">Slack or Zoom<\/a>.\n\nManagement should take the lead here, ingraining a culture of reward and recognition through their behaviours and encouraging their teams to follow suit.\n<h3 id=\"11-check-in-regularly-with-one-on-ones\">11. Check in regularly with one-on-ones<\/h3>\nA one-on-one is a scheduled meeting in your calendar and in your mental map for open-ended and anticipated conversation between a manager and an employee.\n\nThese meetings are intended for coaching, mentorship, context or even venting. However, the value of one-on-ones is for leaders, teammates and peers to connect and communicate. As a manager, effective one-on-ones should leave employees feeling heard, safe and empowered.\n\nBegin with open-ended questions such as &#8216;how are you feeling, and <em>really<\/em> listen to your employee. Watch out for roadblocks, especially in this <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/remote-working-guide\/\">remote world of work<\/a>, it&#8217;s not as easy to walk over to someone and ask how they&#8217;re feeling.\n\nOne-on-ones also require leaders to be the &#8220;facilitator of solutions.&#8221; This can be challenging, so it&#8217;s important to create a space of trust through respect, being unconditionally on the employee&#8217;s side, and showing vulnerability.\n\nSetting aside 45 minutes for a one-on-one, even if you don&#8217;t use the whole time. For managers, allow yourself 15 minutes after the meeting for follow-ups to address any employee &#8216;asks.&#8217;\n\nUsing a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/resources\/1-1-meeting-template\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">one-on-one meeting template<\/a> can offer a clear structure for these meetings &#8211; just make sure it&#8217;s kept confidential.\n<h3 id=\"12-get-regular-employee-feedback\">12. Get regular employee feedback<\/h3>\nFeedback is so important to success; without it, you don&#8217;t know where to improve. When it comes to engagement, employees who receive feedback &#8211; good or bad &#8211; are twice as likely to be highly engaged and highly productive as a result.\n\nFeedback is hard in remote contexts, especially when remote teams are spread across different regions and time zones. However, remote employees and managers need to be cross-collaborative to truly see results.\n\nIt shouldn&#8217;t just be managers sharing feedback; it must be a team effort.\n<h3 id=\"13-offer-incentives-for-reaching-the-companys-goals\">13. Offer incentives for reaching the company&#8217;s goals<\/h3>\nTo create a business culture that&#8217;s driven by smashing goals and targets, it&#8217;s important you reward and recognise your team when expectations are exceeded.\n\nLooking for some inspiration?
