Corporate Alignment
There is immense value in lining up individual employees’ goals with company-wide strategic priorities. As research shows, aligning employees with company strategy has a direct impact on an organization’s operational and business success.
A company with employees aligned with its long-term goals is able to reach accomplishments faster. The employees enjoy a greater sense of teamwork and may be less likely to leave the organisation. It also makes them feel like an integral part of the business.
Alignment is a strong motivator at work.
Studies show that progress towards a meaningful goal is the top motivator for employees, yet they don’t know what to prioritize, and are unclear about how their individual work significantly contributes to the mission of the firm. Once organizations align individuals’ goals to their long-term goals, they will experience heightened retention and better execution.
Goal achievement is paramount to employee success and satisfaction.
Employees who feel connected to the company’s mission – through goal setting and achievement – take delivering on business outcomes to the next level. They feel personally invested and responsible, which in turns impacts the way they work.
