Overview:
This guide explains how to use the Goal Assignment Workflow in the HR360Hub portal. The workflow allows Super Admins and HR Managers to create goals, submit them for approval, and — once approved — assign those goals to individual employees or entire departments. The process is managed through the Growth Hub module in the left-hand navigation sidebar.
