2. Performance Achievement a quick reference guide to
SETTING OBJECTIVES
My name is Wini Ryan from Leadership, Education and Talent Development
I would like to present to you a quick reference guide to…

3. PERFORMANCE ACHIEVEMENT Setting Objectives
When setting your objectives, consider –
What you want to achieve (Objectives)
How you are going to do it (Methodology)
How will you know it is achieved (Outcomes)
There are three stages to consider when you are setting your objectives –
What you want to achieve - your objectives
How you are going to do it - the methodology
How will you know it is achieved – your Outcomes

4. SETTING OBJECTIVES 1. What you want to achieve (Objectives)
When your setting your objectives consider what you want to achieve for yourself, the service and the teams you are involved with.
Then consider what actions you can take to assist you in achieving your objectives
In setting your objective you need consider the following context:
Legislation and Policy
The Corporate Plan
The National Service Plan, and
Operational Plans

5. SETTING OBJECTIVES 1. What you want to achieve (Objectives)
In your own words develop three or four objectives that you can deliver within the Performance Achievement year and note these down.
Your objectives should–
Be challenging, stretching you to deliver meaningful results
Be achievable within the twelve month timeframe of the Performance Achievement cycle
Complement and align with the objectives of your role, the responsibilities of your team and your organisational objectives
You will later need to agree these with your team leader / line manager so remember, your objectives must be ones directly related to your present role and responsibilities.

6. SETTING OBJECTIVES 1. What you want to achieve (Objectives)
When considering your long term development within the Health Service, a Personal Development Plan (PDP) can be extremely helpful. A discussion with your line manager/team leader can also be useful.

7. SETTING OBJECTIVES 2. How you are going to do it (Methodology)

In discussion with your line manager/team leader describe on your Performance Achievement form how you will achieve each of your objectives in a manner that –
Complements our Values of Care; Compassion; Trust and Learning
Clearly identifies and describes the steps that you will take to achieve your objectives
If the achievement of your objectives may be adversely affected by an event or occurrence outside of your control, then describe this risk on the Performance Achievement documentation.

8. SETTING OBJECTIVES 3. How will you know it is achieved (Outcomes)
Finally consider how you will know when you have achieved your objectives. Note the measures or outcomes for each of the objectives that you want to achieve.

9. PERFORMANCE ACHIEVEMENT Setting Objectives
OPTIMAL INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE ACHIEVEMENT
So in Summary: when setting your objectives –
Decide what it is you want to achieve (the Objectives)
How to achieve your objectives in the right way (based on our Values)
And consider if you have the correct skills and abilities required to achieve your objectives (Development)
Get this balance right and you are well on your way to success
