Transparency seeds collaboration. Say Employee A is struggling to reach a quarterly objective. Because she has publicly tracked her progress, colleagues can see she needs help. They jump in, posting comments and offering support. The work improves. Equally important, work relationships are deepened, even transformed. In larger organizations, it’s common to find several people unwittingly working on the same thing. By clearing a line of sight to everyone’s objectives, OKRs expose redundant efforts and save time and money.
