This plan is devised to help business leaders achieve their goals through the evaluation of crucial metrics. The focus is on five key metrics: Revenue Growth Rate, Net Profit Margin, Employee Satisfaction Score, Customer Retention Rate, and Return on Investment (ROI).
Each metric is accompanied by a benchmark standard and suggestions for improvement. For instance, enhancing sales strategies or expanding market reach can boost the Revenue Growth Rate. Improving work-life balance and offering career development opportunities can elevate Employee Satisfaction Scores.
