The second objective calls for acquiring positive feedback from the manager about professional growth. This initiative involves proactively engaging the manager in their professional development, showcasing improved work quality and decision-making skills, and consistently exceeding work targets and expectations.
The OKR's third objective is completing two relevant certifications by the end of the specified period. It suggests undertaking successful completion of course materials and passing exams, conducting research on suitable certifications related to career goals, and enrolling in the elected certification programs.
Therefore, the OKR stresses engaging in industry-relevant events, winning managerial approval on professional growth, and obtaining valuable certifications for career advancement.
