What is the difference between GOAL and GOAL 2.0?

The end of the year review, that could be quite time-consuming, has been replaced by a Performance Summary conversation that applies to almost all employees (see above for exceptions) and is guided by a 2-page template. This summary will draw from notes that have been made of highlights, outcomes, decisions from quality conversations that take place through the year between the Manager and employee. Those conversations, and the skills with how they are conducted, are now the focus. This ensures that managers and employees are communicating on a regular basis so expectations and priorities can be adjusted as needed, information and ideas are exchanged regularly.
