Aligning Ambitions: Laketricity's Practical Approach to Start-of-Year Interviews

Introduction:

The beginning of the year is always a time for Laketricity's Start-of-Year

interviews. As an essential part of every team member's professional life, these interviews are conducted in January and February by our managers. They play a major role in fostering growth and motivation through effective communication.

Communication as the Cornerstone:

Effective communication between managers and employees is fundamental to success in any organization. It plays a key role for understanding goals, expectations, and the unique talents each team member brings to the table. At Laketricity, these interviews go beyond routine check-ins. They're opportunities to strengthen organizational bonds and align individual aspirations with our shared mission.

Strategic Goal Setting to foster Motivation:

Individual and collective goals are the roadmap guiding our journey. Clear objectives empower our team to contribute meaningfully to our mission. Personal goals drive professional development, while collective goals unite us in a shared vision, providing motivation for success.

As we start a new year, we acknowledge the power of motivation in driving innovation. Setting individual goals boosts personal growth and contributes to a collaborative atmosphere, where each employee's efforts contribute to our collective success.

The Laketricity Approach:

Our Start-of-Year interviews are conducted with care, focusing on individual aspirations. Managers work collaboratively with employees to establish SMART goals—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. For us, the use of SMART goals is a guarantee of efficiency and individual fulfillment in project management. This ensures clarity and accountability for a year of meaningful achievements.

"87% of employees with clear, work-related goals say their organization is prepared to meet customers' expectations, more than twice as many as workers without specific goals." according to Asana, Anatomy of work, 2023

We recognize that goal setting isn't one-size-fits-all. Each Laketricity team member has unique skills and aspirations, and our interviews tailor objectives accordingly. Whether it's a project milestone, skills development, or a stretch goal, we set objectives together to inspire growth and innovation.

Conclusion:

At Laketricity, commitment to team growth is a central part of our company's philosophy. Start-of-Year interviews foster a culture of open communication, motivation, and shared success. As we embark on another year of progress, we look forward to the achievements that will arise from the insights expressed in these meaningful conversations.
