About the session
Did you know that only 16% of employees say their goals actually help them perform better? Or that 68% of employees don’t understand their company’s vision, meaning fewer than 1 in 3 people are rowing in the same direction? Goal setting should be one of HR’s most powerful levers. Yet time and again, it becomes little more than an annual box-ticking exercise – frameworks chosen, forms completed, impact forgotten.
In this practical and thought-provoking webinar, Debbie Venables cuts through the noise to explore why goal setting so often fails in practice and what HR professionals can do to change that. You will go beyond the buzzwords of SMART goals and OKRs to explore the psychology behind effective goal setting, and how to build a system that actually drives performance rather than just documenting it.
What we’ll explore
- Why so many goal-setting processes fail and what the data tells us.
- The psychology of goal setting beyond SMART and OKRS
- How to shift from annual reviews to continuous goal check-ins that create real momentum.
- How to equip managers to be goal coaches, not just goal scorers
- How to design a goal-setting process tailored to your people, culture and business needs
Expect a practical, honest conversation grounded in real organisational experience.
Who it’s for
- HR and People leaders
- HR Business Partners

Why attend?
Goal setting should be the catalyst that builds alignment, drives engagement and creates an environment where people are genuinely supported to achieve meaningful work. If you have ever wondered why your frameworks are not delivering the results you hoped for, this session will give you practical insight and a framework you can take back into your organisation.
