If a manager wants to change the target completion date for goals assigned to direct reports, which action is correct?

• A. Sign in as the manager, go to Navigator/About me/ Goals/ My Worker Goals. Select the goal assigned by him and click Edit. Change the target completion date and click Submit.
• B. Sign in as the HR administrator and modify the date for all goals.
• C. Remove the goal and recreate it with the new date for each direct report.
• D. Notify employees to update their own goal dates through their self-service portal.

Answer: (A)

Managers have the authority to adjust the goals of their direct reports, and this is done from their own workspace. By signing in and navigating to Navigator > About me > Goals > My Worker Goals, they can open the specific goal, choose Edit, update the target completion date, and submit. This keeps ownership and control with the supervisor, maintains an auditable record of changes, and ensures the right permissions are applied. Editing dates as an HR administrator would be inappropriate for individual goals, removing and recreating goals would lose history and disrupt linked performance data, and asking employees to update their own dates bypasses supervisory oversight.
