In a situation where employees are faced with challenges such as demotivation and lack of purpose that may hinder them from meeting the required goals, Organizations faced with high demands to deliver on their future goals and objectives are using Objective and Key Results also known as OKRs to implement a solid strategy Companies keeping their vision, objectives and goals by showing their employees what is exactly expected of them through aligning their focus on company goals benefiting by using OKRs in the following ways.
The first way in which companies benefit through OKRs is maintaining the focus of the employees towards the company goals. By using OKRs, companies keeps their employees ultimately engaged to achieving the objective set before them, thereby limiting their disengagement by keeping them focused on the number of things that they are supposed to do. By using OKRs, employees are connected towards achieving corporate goals by giving them a clear direction and therefore increase their productivity through focusing on goals and tracking their regular progress towards the set goals.
Alignment of key objectives and linking all key results in a single workboard of what should and what shouldn’t be done is another way in which companies benefit through OKRs. After aligning key objectives, companies can move on from planning to execution by tying all contributors implementing their OKRs.
Companies can benefit through OKRs by keeping the commitment of the employees towards the company goals. Employees committed to their OKRs will ensure that they are working towards their objectives by printing and sharing their OKRs with their employers on OKR podcast for them to know and track specific goals they want to achieve.
Companies can benefit from OKRs through creation of transparency and overview of employees towards the company goals. By sharing their OKRs on OKR Podcasts, employees can monitor each other and know how they are progressing. By bringing everyone together where all OKRs can be managed, companies can create transparency, overview and accountability, thereby ensuring daily tracking of how their employees are meeting their objectives.
Increasing the learning curve among employees is the other way in which companies benefit from using OKRs. When employees sit together to share their OKRs to other teams for reviews, it makes it possible for them to be corrected suppose they are working on the wrong thing or using the wrong format to achieve their OKRs objectives. Employees can therefore improve on their OKR objectives for the next sitting, making it possible for them to learn new things since their OKRs are being graded for their own improvement.
