Link company, team and personal goals on one tree

Set company objectives, add team objectives under them, and link each person's goal to the objective it supports. Key results measure the work, and progress rolls up the tree for each review cycle.

  • Company and team objectives
  • Key results
  • Goals linked to objectives
A sample goal cascade for a review cycle: a company objective at 60 percent, a team objective at 67 percent with a key result, an employee's linked goal, and a goal not yet linked. Illustrative sample data.
See it roll up

One goal moves, and the objectives above it follow

Each person's goal links to a team or company objective, so progress is visible at every level of the review cycle.

A sample goal cascade. As one person's linked goal moves from 62 to 74 percent, the team objective moves to 67 percent and the company objective to 60 percent.

Sample goals. Progress rolls up per review cycle, and a goal the employee has not accepted does not count.

Key capabilities

What okr and goal cascade does in NeevHR

Company and team objectives

Objectives belong to a review cycle. A team objective names its department and an owner, who can update it.

Key results

A start, a target and a unit. A target below the start also works, for example attrition from 20 down to 12.

Goals linked to objectives

Choose the objective when you add or bulk assign a goal. Linking a goal given earlier does not change it, so the employee is not asked to accept it again.

Progress that rolls up

An objective's progress is the plain average of its key results, team objectives and linked goals. A goal the employee has not accepted does not count, and Not started is not the same as 0%.

Goals not linked

A card shows the goals that support no objective, so HR can link them.

Privacy by person

Everyone with Performance view sees the objectives. A person's goal shows only to that person, their team and HR, and the row says how many are not shown.

Check-ins with history

A person, their manager or HR records progress with a note, and each change stays in the goal's history.

OKR and goal cascade does not run in a silo

Like every module, it sits on one effective-dated employee record, with India's statutory rules, configuration and governance shared across the platform.

Built for India, only India

PF, ESI, PT, LWF and TDS, gratuity, bonus and the DPDP Act 2023 are part of the core product, not an add-on. INR and the India financial year throughout.

Depth without the drag

Process discipline and statutory accuracy for growing and mid-market companies, without the cost or the multi-year rollout of a tier-one suite.

A guided go-live

Implementation time depends on employee count, data quality, integrations and payroll complexity.

Configured by your HR admin

Leave, attendance, payroll, expense and appraisal are configurable rule sets assigned to employee groups. A trained HR admin can own them, no certified consultant required.

OKR and goal cascade: frequently asked questions

Is this OKR?

Yes, in the way most companies use it: objectives with measurable key results, cascaded from company to team to person.

Does it replace performance goals?

No. It links the goals you already set in Performance to objectives. Linking does not change a goal, so it is not sent for acceptance again.
