Developing Performance Goals and Standards

The Developing Performance Goals and Standards Facilitator Guide is a comprehensive resource for anyone who will lead a face-to-face (in-person or hybrid) performance goal-setting training program for managers or supervisors. The Facilitation Guide covers everything that is involved when planning and delivering a Developing Performance Goals and Standards training session.

The Developing Performance Goals and Standards Facilitation Program provides materials to teach two key concepts:

1. The Effect of Fuzzy Performance Standards – Participants will learn to write specific, targeted goals.
2. Writing S.M.A.R.T. Performance Standards – Participants will learn the process of writing S.M.A.R.T. performance standards.  Statements should be specific, measurable, and aligned with team and organizational goals, and actionable.

To support the learning of these key concepts, the Developing Performance Goals and Standards facilitation guide provides the following resources:

• Positive Model Review – The positive model review uses video and written scenarios to help participants learn and digest the course’s key concepts.
• Skill Practice – Facilitators will have just under 2 hours of skill practice facilitation content that they can use to have learners engage in the course content.
• Reinforcement – At the conclusion of the training program, facilitators will be able to introduce and turn on a reinforcement resource that will allow participants to practice what they have learned on their own time.

The Developing Performance Goals and Standards Facilitator Guide is designed to be used exclusively with the Developing Performance Goals and Standards participant workbook. Vital Learning publishes both the workbook and the facilitation program. This course is one module of a 12-module series titled Leadership Essentials. You can facilitate this course on its own or include it as part of a larger management training series using the other modules.
