In Teamflect, the frequency of goal check-ins is set by administrators to ensure consistent tracking across the organization. End-users cannot override or customize this schedule themselves. However, employees who find the reminders too frequent can choose to turn off goal check-in notifications in their personal settings. This way, companies maintain structured goal-tracking cycles while still allowing individuals to manage their own notification preferences.
How to Turn Off Goal Check-in Notifications
Click on your profile picture in the top right corner and select "My Settings."
Expand the Goals section by clicking the small triangle on the left.
Locate Goal check-in notifications at the bottom.
Toggle this button off to stop receiving notifications.
If you don’t want users to turn this notification off, you can lock it centrally from the Admin Center.
HR-Focused Use Cases
1. Consistency in Company-Wide Goal Tracking
Organizations can enforce a standard check-in frequency to ensure that progress reporting is aligned across teams. This helps HR and leadership gather comparable data for performance evaluations and strategic planning, without the risk of fragmented reporting cycles.
2. Employee Empowerment Without Losing Structure
While employees can’t change the frequency itself, the option to disable notifications offers autonomy. HR can highlight this as a way to respect employee focus preferences, while still ensuring goal updates are collected on the company’s chosen timeline.
3. Reducing Notification Fatigue
In environments where multiple modules (Goals, Reviews, Tasks) are active, employees may feel overwhelmed by frequent reminders. Allowing individuals to mute specific notifications helps improve employee experience and reduce frustration, which in turn leads to higher adoption rates of the system.
4. Supporting High-Performing Teams
For teams that already run their own weekly or bi-weekly check-ins, receiving extra reminders can feel redundant. By disabling notifications, they can maintain their own rhythm without disrupting the company-wide cadence, ensuring alignment without micro-management.
Final Thoughts
End-users cannot override the check-in frequency set by admins, but they can manage their own notifications for a better user experience. This balance gives HR teams the consistency they need for reporting while respecting employee preferences and reducing notification fatigue.
