5 4 Goal Setting The first step in the review process is for managers to define or cofirm sub-goals for each employee to set targets for the employee. In version 2 manager can now add or remove subgoals to make goal setting more meaningful for the employee. SUB-GOAL WEIGHTING Version 2 offers an easy-to-use graphical scale of 1 to 5 bubbles to indicate higher & lower importance of sub-goals. 5
