Employees Responsible for Accomplishing the Agency's Strategic Plan
Having at least one person responsible for each goal and for each objective may improve the accountability at the agency for its goals and objectives. The information which provides a list of employees and the goals and/or objectives for which they are responsible was provided by the agency in its Annual Restructuring Report, Program Evaluation, Request for Information, or Accountability Report.
The Responsible Employee
for an agency Goal may have different teams of employees to help accomplish the goal. The Responsible Employee is the person who, either alone or in conjunction with a team and appropriate approval, determines the strategy and objectives necessary to accomplish the goal.
The Responsible Employee
for an agency Objective may have employees or teams of employees to help accomplish the objective. If it is a small agency, it may be the same person responsible for the overarching goal. The same person is not required to be responsible for all the objectives. The Responsible Employee has some level of decision making power as this person, in conjunction with the team and appropriate approval, sets the performance measure targets and determines the plan for how to accomplish the objective.
