Understanding how your people engage with their goals and objectives is vital for tracking progress, identifying trends, and making informed decisions about employee performance and development.
Bridge gives Admins and Managers the ability to monitor this through the Goals & Objectives Analytics tools available in Analytics and their Team menu. Here's an overview of what's available, how to access it, and how to use the data to drive action.
Where to Access Goals & Objectives Data in Bridge
There are two main ways to access analytics related to goals and objectives:
1. Analytics (Admins Only)
On the left-hand main menu, navigate to Analytics, then scroll down to Goals/Objectives.
2. Team View (Managers and Admins)
From the left-hand menu, select Team and then Goals. There, you’ll see your team’s goals as well as the goals of individuals on your team—provided they’ve chosen to share them with you.
Each view offers different levels of data depending on your role in the organization.

FAQs
Q: Can I see goal comments or descriptions in reports?
No, comments and full goal descriptions are not included in the CSV export or analytics dashboards.
Q: Can Managers see only their direct reports' goals?
Yes—Team View restricts visibility to only those users the manager has permission to view.
Q: Is it possible to see how goals relate to performance reviews?
Only if referenced manually. Goals aren't currently linked directly to Performance Conversations in analytics, but can be used alongside for broader insights.
Q: Can I schedule reports?
Yes, you can schedule reports and set alerts, just like any other report in Analytics.
Goals & Objectives Analytics can help you measure alignment, accountability, and employee engagement. Regularly reviewing these metrics ensures your teams stay on track and receive the support they need to grow and succeed.
