When you, as an organization hire an individual, it is very important to clarify the goals and core values to the employee as an organization’s visions and missions are what make it thrive. It is pivotal to make sure that your directions and employees’ techniques are in sync to streamline the processes and aim for similar outcomes.

But how to achieve this alignment?

• The most important feature to connect with your employee is communication. From the beginning, instill your values in his/her mind. Emphasize their part in the whole project to make them feel more engaged and accountable. Conduct sessions, arrange workshops, and give presentations. Discuss everything from the first step, along the way till the final product is achieved.
• Draft out a strategy and divide the task into sections. Prioritize the agendas for each employee to give them a clear insight as to what milestones to be achieved at which checkpoint.
• What you need to do next is set mission and vision apart as they may run parallel but are not interchangeable by any means. When you magnify the achievements and goals you are striving for, you shall also give proper guidance and instructions regarding how to reach there. The mission is the set of instructions or the project design while the vision is the objective that you are working for. Vision should always be comprehensible and direct so that the employee doesn’t get disoriented and discouraged in the way.
• Enlighten your employee with the purpose of aiming for whatever your goal is. Make them understand how it contributes to the overall growth and success of the organization.
• Share your reviews and welcome their feedbacks. Keep the employees on their toes by keeping an eye on the work. A survey for performance analysis will convince you that the directions are being followed and the employee is not straying away from the aim. Also, let the employee give his/her creative insights and help them be more productive and innovative. Being heard might help them groom their skills and techniques and this may help them burst with new ideas and develop personally. It is impossible to achieve your goal without an equal effort from both sides.
• Make sure you and your staff are flexible and open to changing their views if needed. The baseline may remain the same, but one of you might come up with a rearrangement of ideas to construct the product. Imposed instructions may often demotivate the employee thus give them a chance to strategize and follow their own roadmap, upon your approval of course.
• Conduct regular training sessions to polish your employees’ skills and keep reminding them of your aims.
• A little appreciation goes a long way. Celebrate each achievement and praise those who played a part in materializing the aim you planned for. Design a reward program to highlight the contributions of every employee in the journey.

Connectivity of employees’ goals with the organization’s mission doesn’t only ensure success but also eliminates any chances of wasted time and efforts that may happen if there is a lack of proper outline drafted and followed from the beginning.
