Shift to Modern HRMS, built for Next-gen Workforce

It’s next to impossible for research teams to accurately predict what they will discover and when. If they had the answer in advance, research wouldn’t be needed. It would just be the usual business.

When setting OKRs for your research teams, keep in mind not to predict how and when you’ll make breakthroughs. Instead, commit to improving how you’ll make any breakthrough.

Mentioned below are some R&D team OKR examples to give you an overview of how to set goals for your teams.
