Cascading goals is a Workday feature that allows managers to assign higher level strategic priorities to their teams. Goals can be passed down through each managerial level of the organization and edited so that they are appropriate for each level. Cascaded goals can help to ensure consistency in CCA's strategic priorities across the organization, and can be used to inform individual goals. Please note that this year, this feature is optional and some divisions may or may not use this feature.

As a Vice President:

1. In Workday, search Add Goal to Employee in the search bar.
2. Select Create New Goal to input an organizational goal that you would like to cascade down to your division.
3. Select how you would like to assign the goal. You may assign it to an individual employee in your department, or you may assign it to your supervisory organizations. Please be sure not to select any STU (student) orgs and not to check the box Include Subordinate Organizations, as that may include student orgs.

As a Department Head/Manager:

You may be able to edit the cascaded goal from your VP to customize it for your department/team.
