# Setting Goals

The process begins when the HR team launches the Annual Goal Plan campaign. The system automatically sends a notification to employees, informing them about the campaign and inviting them to start setting goals. This notification serves as the starting point, ensuring employees are aware of the timeline and expectations for goal setting.

5. Fill out the goal Info section, including the goal name, any additional info, and what will indicate that this goal is achieved? ![Image](https://cdn.document360.io/7a3c00d9-daf1-4451-a1a0-1e6ab8f34fa6/Images/Documentation/image-FGIU88F0.png)
6. **Select an AU strategic goal** to link to your goal and **assign it a weight**. Then, enable “**This is a measurable goal**” to set a target and define how the goal will be measured. ![Image](https://cdn.document360.io/7a3c00d9-daf1-4451-a1a0-1e6ab8f34fa6/Images/Documentation/image-YZA7SHYQ.png)

Note:

- You can enable the **reverse target flag**, if your goal is defined by avoiding an unwanted outcome, meaning success is measured by what does not happen rather than what is achieved.
