Approval Process for Individual Goals (As a Supervisor)

Approving Goals in the Cornerstone system allows for each individual Goal to become a part of the Employee’s Performance Plan. Each Goal must be individually submitted, by the employee or supervisor, and individually approved by the Supervisor. This process outlines how a Supervisor can approve each goal which will commit the goals to the Employee’s Performance Plan.

Approving Employee Performance Plan Goals/Modifications

1. Starting on the homepage, scroll down to your Inbox tab and click on Approve Performance Plan (you will be able to see how many pending requests you have in parentheses right below).
   
   

   Open

   

    

2. Check the box for each individual performance plan item created by your employee that you would like to approve or deny.
   
   

   Open

   

3. Select the Approve Request button with a green check mark next to it if you wish to have the goal modifications made by your employee to appear in their current performance plan. You also have the option to deny the request.

4. The list will update to reflect all changes made, and if you have approved the request, you will see the new goals appear in your employee’s performance plan. To check, search your employee, navigate to snapshot, and then to goals.
