Which statement addresses the scenario where new hires require A1 and A2 in addition to existing goals from a shared goal plan?

• A. The HR specialist can create a new goal plan with goals from the existing goal plan, add goals A1 and A2 from the goal library, and assign them to both the new hires
• B. The HR specialist must duplicate the existing plan and import A1 and A2 into the copy
• C. The HR specialist cannot modify the goal library after assignment
• D. The HR specialist should remove existing goals to add A1 and A2

Answer: (A)

When you need to extend an existing set of goals for new hires, reuse and extend rather than replace. The best approach is to create a new goal plan that includes the goals from the existing shared plan and then add A1 and A2 from the goal library, assigning this combined plan to the new hires. This keeps the established goals intact and ensures the new hires receive both the existing objectives and the new ones they need. This approach avoids altering the shared plan itself, which helps maintain consistency for others who rely on it. It also leverages the goal library to add the new items without duplicating or manually reconstructing the entire plan. Since you’re not removing or overwriting existing goals, there’s less risk of disrupting established performance expectations.
