Goals are a structured way for users or their managers to define, track, and achieve specific learning and development targets in Thrive. Each goal is linked to one or more skills, giving both managers and employees a clear, measurable way to connect learning activity to real development outcomes.
This page outlines how line managers can create goals for their direct reports to support their development journey. As a manager, you can set goals that are specific, measurable, and aligned with your team's objectives.
Note:
To create Goals for your own personal development, see Creating a Goal.
Goals and Mentoring
Because goals in Thrive are linked to skills, they can influence more than just individual learning. If your organisation uses Mentoring, the skills associated with a mentee's goals are used to find the best mentor match – prioritising mentors with stronger proficiency in those goal-related skills.
This means the goals you set for your direct reports can directly shape the quality and relevance of their mentoring relationships. The more accurately a goal reflects what someone wants to develop, the better their match is likely to be.
