At BetterUp, we encourage you to utilize the Goals and Actions features to clearly define and track your professional aspirations and the steps needed to achieve them. This guide will help you navigate these features effectively.
Using Goals to Foster Growth
Setting clear goals is essential for your personal and professional growth. Here’s how you can use the Goals feature on BetterUp:
- Adding and Creating Goals: Navigate to the 'What you're working on' section on the BetterUp home page and click '+ Add goal'. Enter your goal and, if desired, set a completion date by clicking the calendar icon. Remember to click 'Save' to record your goal.
- Editing or Deleting Goals: To make changes to an existing goal, click the three dots (...) next to the goal and select 'Edit' or 'Delete'. Confirm your changes by clicking 'Save' or proceed to delete the goal by confirming the deletion prompt.
Your coaches have visibility into your goals, enhancing accountability and support. They can also assist in creating and refining goals, ensuring they align with your overarching development plan.
Tracking Progress with Actions
Between coaching sessions, the Actions feature helps you maintain momentum:
- Adding and Creating Actions: Similar to adding a goal, you can add an action from the 'What you're working on' section by clicking '+ Add action'. Provide a title and any necessary details, and set a target date if applicable.
- Editing or Deleting Actions: Edit or delete actions using the same process as for goals. Your changes are crucial to keeping your action items relevant and aligned with your goals.
Reviewing Achievements
Both features allow you to mark items as complete:
- Marking Goals and Actions as Complete: Once a goal or action is achieved, mark it as complete by selecting the appropriate option under the three dots (...). To revisit or continue working on a goal or action, simply select 'Work on this goal/action again'.
Privacy and Confidentiality
Your privacy is paramount. Information about your goals and actions is shared with your coaches but not with your employer. BetterUp ensures that all personal data is handled with the highest confidentiality standards. Only aggregated, anonymous data may be shared with employers for billing and usage statistics.
For detailed guidelines and additional support, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
