At the beginning of your career with us (and each year after that), you will set personal business and development goals. Your personal business goals will align with IBM’s overall business goals and values. Your development goals will identify ways that you can improve to achieve your business goals.

These goals will guide you through each year and will be documented with your manager as part of our Personal Business Commitments program.

At the end of each year, your manager will evaluate how well you have achieved these goals compared with your peers, and rate your overall performance. This is a key factor in determining any performance bonus and future career opportunities. This framework is designed to reinforce our high performance culture and will effectively differentiate employees based on their contribution to the company. To sustain marketplace leadership, we operate in an environment where every employee is stimulated to perform at their best.
