What is a Goal?

A goal sets clear work expectations and aligns individual efforts to company or department objectives. They should have a measurable outcome within a specific timeframe. An example might be: “Reduce the amount of mishandled luggage by 5% in the first quarter”.

Goals evolve and change depending on the needs and work priorities of the organization.

What is a Job Description?

A job description clarifies your role and key responsibilities for a specific job position. Key responsibilities tend to be reoccurring tasks such as “develop financial models and conduct analysis” or “mentor and coach team members”.

Job descriptions are associated with a specific pay grade and remain relatively static.
