Plan for success

Improvement starts with a plan. Whether you want to achieve a professional goal or improve based on performance feedback, our Objectives module is key.

A simple but powerful objective screen organizes all the details about an objective in one place.

Describe your desired outcome, track key results, and update your status to communicate progress.

Get immediate insight

Crafting well-defined and realistic objectives is no easy task. Enter the Objectives Coach!

Small Improvements presents employees with AI-powered suggestions to refine their goals and stay on track, turning objective-setting from a box-ticking formality to an interactive and ongoing part of your routine.

Turn existing Feedback into Objectives

If you’re not sure where to begin, our Feedback-into-Action tool will identify common themes in your peer feedback and suggest relevant objectives to help you hone in on next steps.

Then, leverage the Objectives Coach to continually refine your goals and stay on track.

"Tracking our company goals and Objectives in Small Improvements not only helps us work more collaboratively, but also makes our 1:1 and Feedback conversations simple and efficient."

Understand your team members' priorities

Want to support a colleague, or get inspiration from their objectives? Just use the team dashboard to quickly find someone’s priorities.

Learn more about browsing peer’s and team members objectives on the Objectives Reporting page.

Configure objectives to meet your team's needs

Your company’s feedback process should be as distinctive as your company culture.

Admins can provide guidance and structure to their team’s goal-setting process. Do you want a status field or a completion percentage? Should objectives be public by default or private? Should staff assign priority through weighting?

You can configure the settings in Small Improvements to work for you.
