Closing Goals
After you finish working on a goal, you can close it and add a reflection that details the goal's outcome.
You can't edit a closed goal, but you and your manager can still add comments to it.
After you close a goal, the goal’s actual value and progress are locked.
To close a goal:
-
From the home screen of your Employee Center role, go to Talent > Goals.
-
Move the goal that you want to close from the In Progress column to the Closed column.
-
From the Status list, select a closed status:
-
Completed – The goal is complete.
-
Not Completed – The goal isn't completed. For example, you may have a goal that depends on a project that wasn't completed on time.
-
Canceled – The goal isn't needed anymore.
-
-
In the Reflection section, enter your thoughts about the outcome of the goal.
-
Click Save.
Your manager will receive an email after you close a goal. Your manager can then enter a reflection about the outcome of the goal, and you will receive an email detailing this.
If you close a goal with an area of focus attached to it, you can't delete the area of focus.
After your goal is closed for three months, it doesn't appear on your Goals page anymore. You can view goals that are older than three months on the All Goals page. For more information about goals, see Viewing All Goals.
