Goal Setting At Quest:
Looking Back To Move Forward
We believe the only competition in our life is us. So the real parameter is to constantly up the benchmark for ourselves based on where we were before.
Goal settings help us reflect on last year's contributions, while looking forward involves planning for the next. In February and March, all teams articulate annual goals aligned with organizational priorities.
Key Result Areas (KRAs) define our roles, including the vital 'Investment in Self-learning' KRA for personal growth. The process is completed in June and July, and involves considering the big picture, team goals, and seeking support where needed. Your manager, team lead, L&D team or RFS Champions can help clarify any doubts.
The Goal Setting process is completed during the months of June & July every year. Some key aspects to keep in mind when setting your annual goals:
Know the big picture by referring to the Org Priorities for the year
Articulate your goals specifically and in detail(take support from RFS champions where required)
Call out areas where you will require support from other members of your own or other teams at Quest
Mention all the day-to-day activities that take up your time significantly
Add group activities that demand your time and attention
