PERFORM: Introducing Goal Alignment in Keka

We’re excited to introduce Goal Alignment, a powerful enhancement that helps employees, managers, and admins clearly connect individual goals to broader team, department, and organisational objectives. This feature brings transparency, strategic clarity, and measurable cascading alignment across all levels of your organisation.

What’s New? — Goal Alignment

Align Individual Goals to Parent Goals

Employees, managers, and admins can now link their goals directly to higher-level goals using the Alignment section.

1. Choose a parent goal from team, department, or organisation-level goals.

2. Use recommended suggestions based on role, hierarchy, and login history.

   

3. Quickly filter parent goals using timeframe, goal type, and goal owner filters.

   

Multi-Level Cascading Alignment

This feature supports structured alignment across:

1. Company Goals → Department Goals

2. Department Goals → Team Goals

3. Team Goals → Individual Goals

Ensuring everyone understands how their work contributes to business success.

Flexible Alignment Workflow

You can:

1. Align while creating a goal.

   

2. Add or change alignment during editing.

   

   

Weightage Assignment After Alignment

After adding and aligning goals, users can:

1. Set weightage for all goals within the timeframe.

2. Ensure the final sum equals 100%.

3. Assign weightage with one click after publishing goals.

   

Approval Workflow Support

If your organisation uses goal approval workflows:

1. Aligned goals follow the approval process automatically

2. Admins can review, approve, or decline alignment requests
