SMART KPIs

Setting up KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) for the employees in an organization is very important. 

These KPIs measure the aptitude of the employees in the different departments. One thing to remember is “if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it”.

Every KPI should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely (SMART). These are the best indicators to track the performance of the employees and ensure that they are treading in the right direction.

Each performance indicator is a quantifiable matrix, which reflects how well the organization achieves its goals and objectives.
