🎯 Goals in flowit: What Types Are There and Where Do I Find Them?

In flowit there are different types of goals — depending on the context and purpose. When you are looking for "your goals", it is important to know which type is meant, as they differ in their function, location, and target audience.

OKRs are performance goals with measurable outcomes — for example "Increase customer satisfaction by 10% by end of Q2". They typically run in quarterly cycles and can be set for individual employees, teams, or the entire organisation.

Where do you find your OKRs?

Navigate to Goals & OKRs in the left menu. What you see there depends on the transparency level configured by your admin.

Who can create OKRs?

All users in flowit can create OKRs for themselves — regardless of their role. Admins, HR Admins, and team leads can additionally create OKRs for other people or teams.

The development goal describes where an employee wants to develop in the longer term — for example taking on a new role, building a skill, or completing further training. It is always visible in the employee's profile and can be captured in two ways:

Way 1 — Directly in the profile:

The employee can capture their development goal at any time directly in their profile — independently of an ongoing review or evaluation cycle.

Way 2 — In the review under conclusions:

After the personal conversation, the manager and employee can jointly document a development goal in the review under Conclusions. Once both parties have confirmed the entry, the goal is automatically also visible in the employee's profile.
