This innovation broadens access to performance goals, giving HR leaders and administrators more flexibility and control over goal visibility. The new feature allows designated HR users and talent administrators to access performance goals based on flexible target population relationships defined in the RBP framework, rather than being limited to direct reports.

The Extended EH role is designed to empower HR professionals by providing broader access to performance goals across the organization.

These include having the latest Goal Management enabled and configuring the EH role in goal plan templates for respective Action permission in each goal plan state based on organizational requirements. The Extended EH for Performance Goals permission can be assigned through Manage Permission Roles under Administrator Permissions Manage Goals Extended EH for Performance Goals.

This enhancement is particularly beneficial for organizations seeking to foster employee development at scale. By expanding performance goal visibility beyond direct reports, SAP SuccessFactors helps HR leaders support proactive coaching, better performance reviews, and stronger goal alignment. This strategic advancement in Goal Management gives organizations improved goal oversight and enhanced employee development, aligning more closely with business objectives.
