Hi Omar,
 
Thank you for your question. As far as you have described the top level goals are defined. In your case the first challenge are not the KPIs, but the alignment between top level goals and employee level goals. Try building a strategy map (here is a how-to article on this topic) for lower levels to see how their goals contributes to the top level goals.
 
If you could share more details about the goals/challenges, I could probably share a more specific advise.
