This people & hr OKR template is a strong starting point for teams that need better alignment, clearer priorities, and more disciplined goal tracking.

Use it to turn a business priority into a measurable objective, then review progress weekly so your team can adjust execution before the quarter gets away from you.

Your OKR template

The OKR aims to develop a fair, competitive salary, benefits and housing strategy. The first objective involves establishing a housing assistance program for the 50% lowest paid employees. This is achieved by identifying the employees, determining budget availability, and creating a robust housing assistance program.

Another objective is to implement adjustments ensuring 95% of employees perceive their salary as equitable. This will involve conducting an anonymous salary satisfaction survey, implementing salary adjustments based on survey results and market analysis, and analyzing market rates for equivalent roles.

The final objective in this OKR includes benchmarking salaries and benefits against similar roles through a market analysis. This involves identifying similar roles in the market for comparison, researching, and compiling salary data for these roles, and comparing the benefit packages offered for each role.

The overall goal is to create a strategy that enhances employee satisfaction and competitive advantage in the market. It aims at enhancing fairness and competitiveness in salary distribution, benefits, and housing assistance.

Make these OKRs fit your team

Treat this template as a starting point. Keep the outcomes that match your priorities, adjust the targets and deadlines to reflect your baseline, and remove anything your team cannot influence directly.

Adapt the template or create a plan with AI

You can copy this example into Tability and refine it with your team. If you would rather start from your own context, use embedded AI Mode: describe what your team needs to achieve in a simple prompt and Tability will automatically create a structured OKR plan with objectives, measurable outcomes, and initiatives.

Before publishing, review the AI-generated plan with the people responsible for delivering it:

Replace generic outcomes with measures your team can update consistently
Set ambitious but credible targets using current performance as the baseline
Assign an owner to every outcome and agree on what success looks like
Remove duplicate or activity-based key results that do not prove meaningful progress
