Connection - Organizational Purpose

GOALS

Goals are priorities set forth for the organization, departments, and individuals to achieve results. They help team members know where they are going and measure progress and success. Organizational goals align with the mission of the company, while department and individual goals should align with and support higher-level organizational goals.

MISSION AND VISION

A mission statement provides a solid foundation from which an organization is built and communicates its identity to employees and patients. A vision describes what you are trying to build, inspires action and guides future plans, decision-making and goals.

Purpose

The purpose of an organization is the roadmap that guides success. It drives activities, helps define the culture and engages each team member. Leaders must create and integrate a clear purpose into the organization to promote clarity and collaboration.

CORE VALUES

Core values are fundamental beliefs and expected behaviors. They help companies by creating an unwavering guide, ensuring that each person understands what the organization believes in and how it wants to be seen by others.

A mission defines what you do today, and a vision identifies where you want to go in the future.

All goals should be SMART—specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time based.

Having clearly defined core values allows companies to attract employees that share those values, creating higher levels of individual and team engagement.
