Examples of Human Resource Objectives

Objective: Assist employees with career advancement by coordinating meetings with management teams and by recommending proper avenues of advancement to potential employees. Human Resources will schedule 30 minute meetings with all 150 employees over the course of 3 months. All employees will have an equal chance of speaking with human resources about potential career advancement.

Objective: Negotiate an increase in employee health benefits package to include dental and vision plans for contracted employees. This increase will add $5000 in yearly benefits for contracted employees by supplementing current benefits with dental and vision plans. This change will be optional to all employees and will increase insurance costs to employees by $50 a month and increase company costs by $7500 a month maximum (assuming all 150 employees sign up). This increase is expected to take place at the start of the next quarter.
