For example, in a cafe Second Cup Coffee, workers might be given an objective to serve customers within five minutes to improve service quality and customer satisfaction.

Analysis:
When employees know what target they are working toward, they feel more focused and responsible for their performance. Meeting these goals can make them feel proud and recognised for their effort. This increases job satisfaction and encourages them to keep working hard, which improves overall performance in the business.

{KN}Setting objectives helps employees understand exactly what they need to achieve and how their work contributes to the overall success of the business, reducing confusion and increasing focus.
{APP}For example, in a new fast-food restaurant, if employees are given a clear objective such as serving each customer within 20 minutes, they know exactly what standard of performance is expected from them. This reduces confusion about their roles and helps them stay focused on providing quick and efficient service.
{AN}As a result, employees work more efficiently and consistently, leading to faster service times and happier customers. This improves overall business performance and helps the restaurant build a good reputation increasing its chances of success and survival in a competitive market.

In order to achieve this, employees would work together as a team to help sell as many cars as possible for the company, rather than not knowing what exactly is their job when a clear objective isn't set.
(AN) This teamwork of employees would play a crucial role in achieving the goal the company had set, leading to these employees being noticed by seniors and being offered promotions with higher wages.
