2024 Goal Setting and Annual Performance

Review Template (Colleagues)

Overview
The aim of performance management is to ensure that colleagues have clear goals that align to the
business and receive meaningful feedback and guidance to help them perform their best. At RWS, to be
successful, we focus on both what is achieved as well as how it is achieved.

your manager:

 Describe Goals: It is not the intent to outline all your job responsibilities—your goals are those areas
that are most critical to contributing to EDGE.
 Define Measures of Success: Identify how you will know if you have been successful in meeting the
goal. This can include both qualitative and quantitative measures. Determine how living the RWS
Values will contribute to your success. Think about specific RWS Values and Behaviours that will have
the greatest impact on your success.
 Align to EDGE: Link your goals to EDGE to ensure that you are aligned with what matters most in
driving company success.
 Timelines: State the time` frame you expect to start and complete the goal.

Monitor progress

others to give you a broader perspective on how you are doing.

 Seek feedback from others: You can gain greater insight into
how you are doing when you get feedback from others.
Actively seeking and being open to feedback gives you a broader and more balanced view of how you
can be successful—what you are doing well and where you can improve.
 Update goals: It is not unusual for goals to evolve based on the needs of the business. Adapting to
changes is important to making sure that the work you do continues to contribute to the goals of your
organization and RWS at large.
