Use this sample and step by step explanation for setting meaningful and inspiring employee performance goals for a program coordinator.

A program coordinator coordinates staff and resources in a particular project. In a nutshell, he/she performs administrative and human resource duties in public programs such as health and community services.

Specific responsibilities include working with the staff to ensure that programs run effectively and within the set timelines, plan work schedules for their employees, monitor their performances, and grant them offs/leaves when need be. He/she also supervises billing payments and assesses if the funds available for the program is adequate to see it through its completion. Where there are limitations in financial resources, he/she solicits for additional funds. Lastly, they collaborate with other professionals such as account managers to ensure that the program runs smoothly.
