Overview
If you're using Goals, the Employee Usage reports offer a comprehensive view of goal activity within your organization. These reports provide valuable insights into goal creation, usage, and progress across teams, making it easier to track and manage goal alignment.
Accessing the Usage Reports
There are three key reports available to administrators:
To access the usage reports:
Navigate to Goals from the Goals drop-down menu.
Click on the reporting icon next to the Create goal button.
Goal Usage Report
The Goal Usage Report gives you a detailed usage report with goal types, owners, statuses, completion rate, and a list of employees without goals. To download this report:
Click Export report (.csv) to generate the report.
A modal will appear with a pre-filled due date (covering the past 2 years) and Company selected in the Group drop-down.
Important Notes:
You can adjust the date range to suit but it cannot exceed two years.
The date range filters by the goal due date. It does not filter by the 'created date' or 'published date.'
Use the search field to select specific groups. You can select only one group at a time, based on your organization’s structure.
If Company is selected, the report will include all active employees.
The fields included in the export include:
Employee Name
Employee ID
Employee Email
Manager Name
Manager ID
Manager Email
Goal ID
Goal Name
Goal Owners
Key Result Owners
Goal Type
Date Created
Date Published
Due Date
Group
Visibility
Goal Status

Goal Ownership Type
Overall Goal Completion
Tip: A blank row in the Goal Usage report indicates the employee hasn't set any goals yet.
The report includes all active employees. If the columns for Goal ID, Goal Name, and other goal-related data are empty, that user has no goals assigned. It's a simple way to find who still needs to set their goals.
Goal Creation Report
Below the Goal Usage Report option, you'll find the Goal Creation Report. This report tracks the creation of goals by individuals within a group, including drafts. It offers valuable insights into how goals are being created and tracked at both the group and individual employee level.
Through the Goal Creation Report, you can:
View how many goals have been created within a group.
Click into a specific group to see how many goals have been created by individual employees within that group.
See the percentage of employees with goals.
Track the total number of goals created, including participation rates, with the ability to drill down to see each employee’s goals.
Click + Add Filters to filter the report by due date, goal type or account demographics such as location, department etc.
Additionally, use the View by drop-down menu to sort goals by team, department, or company (any groups available on your Org Structure page).
The goal creation report includes the following columns for each group:
Total employees - The number of employees in the group
Number with a goal - The number of employees in the group with at least 1 goal
Published goals - The number of published goals for employees in the group
Draft goals - The number of draft goals for employees in the group
Total goals - The total number of goals for employees in the group
Participation - % of employees in the group who have vs have not created goals
Goal Creation by Employee
From the group view, you can then select a specific group to reveal a list of individual employees and their goal creation details.
The goal progress by employee report includes the following columns for each individual:
Published goals - The number of published goals for the employee
Draft goals - The number of draft goals for the employee
Total goals - The total number of goals for the employee
Most recent activity - The last time the goal was edited or had progress updated.
You can then click into any individual employee's name on the report to access a full list of their available goals.

Goal Progress Report
The Goal Progress Report helps admin users track how active goals are progressing right in the platform, with no need for manual exports or analysis. It provides a view of goal progress across groups, and now allows you to drill down to the individual employee level for detailed insight into who needs support.
At the top of the report, you’ll see a summary of overall progress:
Total Progress – The combined percentage progress of all active goals
Goal Status – A percentage breakdown of goals marked as On track, At risk, Off track, or Completed
You can view goal progress using the Group by filter, which lets you break down the report by any level of your organization's structure (e.g., department, team).
The goal progress report includes the following columns for each group:
Total employees – Number of employees in that group
Number with a goal – Employees with active goals progressing against key results
% on track – Percentage of goals currently marked as On track
% at risk – Percentage of goals marked as At risk
% off track – Percentage of goals marked as Off track
% completed – Percentage of goals that have been completed
Goal Progress by Employee
From the group view, you can select a specific group to reveal a list of individual employees and their goal progress details.
The goal progress by employee report includes the following columns for each individual:
Published goals - The number of published goals currently existing for the user
% on track – Percentage of the user's goals currently marked as On track
% at risk – Percentage of the users' goals marked as At risk
% off track – Percentage of the user's goals marked as Off track
% completed – Percentage of the user's goals that have been completed
