SMART objectives become SMARTER

Last night, at a meeting of the local branch of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, I had a timely reminder that SMART objectives could actually be SMARTER. The talk was on Employee Engagement and given by http://www.digitalopinion.co.uk/.

We are probably more familiar with the acronym SMART, and though we may use different terms, the output is similar. However, we may want to think SMARTER in this tough economic climate.
