SMART GOALS – TEMPLATE

__________________________________________________________________

SMART goals help improve achievement and success. A SMART goal clarifies exactly what is expected and the measures used to determine if the goal is achieved and successfully completed.

A SMART goal is:

Specific (and strategic): Linked to your mission and strategic plan (the big picture). Answers the question—Who? and What?

Measurable: The success toward meeting the goal can be measured. Answers the question—How?

Attainable: Goals are realistic and can be achieved in a specific amount of time and are reasonable.

Relevant (results oriented): The goals are aligned with current tasks and projects and focus in one defined area; include the expected result.

Time framed: Goals have a clearly defined time-frame including a target or deadline date.

Examples:

Not a SMART goal:

Employee will improve their writing skills.

Does not identify a measurement or time frame, nor identify why the improvement is needed or how it will be used.

SMART goal:

Based on my 3 day diet record I have determined that I would like to improve my intake of fiber. I will work towards this goal over the next 6 weeks by slowly adding more fruits and vegetables to my diet each week. I will investigate new recipes online to increase my intake of new fruits and vegetables. I will also keep a daily record of my fruit and vegetable intake. Each week I will aim to consume 20 servings in total of fruits and vegetables. To keep myself accountable I will share my success online using my Journal.
