A SMART goal for onboarding is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. For example: within 30 days the new hire completes all required training, meets everyone on the team and independently handles a defined task. For a HubSpot rollout: within 60 days every sales rep logs all deals and the pipeline report runs the weekly meeting.
A SMART goal for onboarding might be:
“By the end of the first 30 days, ensure that new employees have completed all required training modules, met with their direct supervisor and team members, and successfully demonstrated their understanding of the company’s culture and values through a feedback survey. This goal is Specific (complete training and meet with key people), Measurable (completion of training modules and feedback survey), Achievable (with structured onboarding), Relevant (important for integration and success), and Time-bound (within the first 30 days).”
