Create a Goal

This article covers how line managers can create a goal for a direct report. If you want to set a goal for your own development, see Creating a Goal.

1. In the Thrive menu, go to Manage > Goals.
   

2. On the Goals screen, click + Add a goal.
   

3. Type a goal title (for example, “Complete Project Management Course”).

4. Add a Skill from the list of available skills on your platform that this goal will help your direct report develop.

5. Add a Due date for the goal.

6. If needed, add a detailed description for the goal.

7. In the People tab, click Add people to find and select your direct report.

8. In the Tasks tab, add the tasks your direct report needs to complete to achieve the goal:

   1. Click + Add a task.

   2. Type a task title… (for example, “Enrol in Course”) and, optionally, a description.

   3. Select one of of the following task types:

      • Basic task: You can optionally require evidence to be submitted by the direct report or manager approval for this task to be marked complete.

      • Content task: You must select a specific piece of content from Thrive to complete to fulfil the task.

   4. Click Add task.

      The task will appear on your list.

   5. If necessary, click + Add a task again to add more tasks.

9. Once all tasks are added, click Confirm.

The goal is now created and an email notification has been sent. Your direct report can view and begin working towards the goal, which is visible under Personal goals in their Goals: My learning screen.
