Every quarter, follow the Blaast process to set new goals and meet them. By following this flow, your management team will improve at supporting their direct reports and at helping you meet company goals.

Set Clear Goals for Team and Employees

Each level of the company sets goals for the quarter. Blaast supports your employee’s career growth and personal health goals, and also your company’s revenue and marketing agenda.

Why is this important?
Employee’s need to understand the company’s goals & vision while also creating their own so that their efforts are more meaningful.

Create a growth oriented appraisal system

Individual goals are tracked and scored between the employee and their manager. These scores helps an employee see their successes and struggles, and helps the manager celebrate or support that employee.

Why is this important?
You won’t have to wait till an annual review to know who your top performers are and who should receive a promotion or pay raise.

Leverage the power of one-on-one meetings

Employee and manger one-on-ones are documented in one place, not on random pieces of paper. During them, the manager and employee discuss the progress of their goals and if there is anything blocking them from completing them.

Why is this important?
Managers have an outlined agenda leading to a more effective meeting and employee gets the resources or information they need for each goal.

Provide resources so the manger can coach

Managers need a wide range of skills to lead and help their team grow, especially with their employee’s personal grow. Blaast has a wide range of resources to help fill those skill gaps and your company can additional resources in one place.

Why is this important?

What our clients are saying

The Blaast playbook is transforming the way we work AND the way we feel about it. I have noticed different energy in our office since deciding together how we will support the vision of the company and how we would report on our goals. It’s not like before when we would make goals, forget about them, and then find ourselves scrambling to hit deadlines. We are gaining momentum we have never had before. We are making real progress, and the best thing is that everyone is a part of it.

One of the biggest challenges faced by management is aligning the work of the company to ensure everyone is moving in the same direction. This includes setting goals and objectives that the entire organization is aware of and working towards. Blaast is hands down the best software I have ever seen in accomplishing company alignment. The quarterly playbook is brilliant. It clearly communicates the company objectives, key results, and required initiatives in a way that provides complete clarity and motivation. I could not recommend Blaast higher.

I think that’s what makes it so unique. Often organizations create quarterly goals that are only numerical. That’s it, you have a numerical goal. As an employee, it’s hard to know what that means for you. The Blaast framework really aligns that objective down to the individual level. It gives the individual a chance to be a part of that objective. They decide what they need to achieve to help the overall goal. It’s not driven by the manager, it’s driven by the person. That is huge!
