In UAB Perform, you can add and edit goals for the upcoming fiscal year or view goals from previous years.
There are two types of goals that can be entered:
- Performance Goals, which relate to productivity, accountability, assignments, or other aspects of work performance.
- Development Goals, which relate to training, learning, skill building, or other aspects of professional or career development.
The enhanced "My Goals" section supports continuous feedback and accountability through year-round goal tracking with your supervisor.
How to Add Goals
Log into UAB Perform.
- Click the My Goals button.
- Goals for the upcoming year "FY2025: (Oct. 2024 - Sept. 2025)" open by default, but you can also view previous goals by selecting the appropriate year. Select the "Add New Goal" button to enter a new goal.
- On the Create Goal screen, the Title, Description, and Alignment fields are required. You may also select a start and end date.
- Click Save Goal to preserve your changes and continue making edits. Changes are not saved automatically. All Saved Goals will appear on the My Goals page.
- Click Submit for Approval once you are ready to send to your supervisor for review. This will lock the goal from edits by you.
- You may continue adding more goals but we recommend no more than 3-5 per year.
How to Track Your Goal Submission Status
Once you've submitted a goal for approval, you may follow the Goal Submission Status on your My Goals page.
How to use the Comments & Updates section
This section serves as a collaborative space for you and your supervisor to track discussions and progress towards your goals. Simply choose the Goal Status from the menu, include your comments, and then Save Comment. Continue updating your goal status throughout the year.
