    Performance Appraisal

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    Today HRM is an evolving branch of Management. It looks after

    the HR planning, Job Design, Job analysis, Training and

    development compensation system, motivation, safety, Industry

    Relatives etc.

    Organization exists to achieve its goals set by their

    stakeholders, in the same time; organization should keep

    individual objectives and their development in mind. The

    assessment of how successful employees have been at meeting

    their individual goals, therefore, becomes a critical part of HRM.

    This led organizations to the area of performance appraisal.

    AIM

    There are three purposes of performance appraisal:

    First, it can be used as a basis for reward allocations.

    Decisions as to who gets the promotions, salary increases,

    and other rewards are determined by the outcome of the

    performance evaluation.

    Performance Appraisal

    Second, these appraisals can be used for identifying areas

    where development efforts are needed to improve the

    performance of an individual. Management needs to spot

    those individuals who have specific skill or knowledge

    deficiencies. The performance appraisal is a major tool for

    identifying these deficiencies.

    Finally the performance appraisal can be used as a

    criterion against which selection planning and developmental

    programs are validated. It can be said, for example, that

    organization selection process is successful in differentiating

    satisfactory performers from under performers.

    Performance Appraisal

    Introduction of the Problem:

    The history of performance appraisal in brief and problem

    description:

    There is, says Dulewicz (1989), "... a basic human tendency to

    make judgments about those one is working with, as well

    as about oneself." Appraisal, it seems, is both inevitable

    and universal. In the absence of a carefully structured

    system of appraisal, people will tend to judge the work

    performance of others, including subordinates, naturally,

    informally and arbitrarily.

    The human inclination to judge can create serious motivational,

    ethical, and legal problems in the workplace. Without a

    structured appraisal system, there is little chance of

    ensuring that the judgments made will be lawful, fair,

    defensible and accurate.

    Performance appraisal systems began as simple methods of

    income justification. That is, appraisal was used to decide

    whether the salary or wage of an individual employee was

    justified.

    9

    10/105

    Performance Appraisal

    The process firmly linked to material outcomes. If an employee's

    performance found to be less than expected, a cut in pay

    would follow. On the other hand, if their performance found

    to be better than the supervisor expected, a pay rise in

    order.

    Little consideration, if any, was given to the developmental

    possibilities of appraisal. It was felt that a cut in pay, or a

    rise, should provide the only required momentum for an

    employee to either improve or continue to perform well.

    Sometimes this basic system succeeded in getting the results

    that were intended; but more often than not, it failed.

    10

    11/105

    Performance Appraisal

    MODERN APPRAISAL

    Performance appraisal may be defined as a structured formal

    interaction between a subordinate and supervisor, that

    usually takes the form of a periodic interview (quarter,

    semi-annual or annual), in which the work performance of

    the subordinate is observed and discussed, with a view to

    identifying weaknesses, strengths as well as opportunities

    for improvement and skills developments.

    In most of the organizations, appraisal results are used directly

    or indirectly, to determine reward outcomes. The appraisal

    results are used to identify the better performing employees

    who should get the majority of available merit, pay increases,

    bonuses, and promotions.

    By the same token, appraisal results are used to identify the

    under performers who may require some form of counseling, or

    in extreme cases, demotion, dismissal or decreases in pay.

    Performance Appraisal

    Theoretical Perspective

    Objectives of Performance Appraisal:

    Objective of Performance appraisal is to obtaining, analyzing

    and recording information about the relative worth of an

    employee. The focus of the performance appraisal is measuring

    and improving the actual performance of the employee and also

    the future potential of the employee. Its aim is to measure what

    an employee does.

    The objectives are explained in the following points:

    SALARY INCREASE: - Performance appraisal plays an

    important role in making decision about salary increment. The

    increment in the salary depends on how the employee performs

    the job, and there is a continuous assessment of employees

    performance formally or informally. In small organizations as

    there is direct interaction between the superiors and the

    subordinate, performance appraisal can be an informal process,

    but in large organizations or in case of expatriate (HCN, PCN,

    TCN) where direct interaction hardly exists the performance

    appraisal process is formal.

    12

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    13/105

    Performance Appraisal

    PROMOTION: - Performance appraisal reveals how an

    employee is working in present job and what are their strengths

    and weaknesses. In the light of these, it can be decided whether

    the individual can be promoted to the next higher position and

    what additional training will be necessary for employee.

    Similarly, performance appraisal can be used for transfer,

    demotion, and discharge of an employee.

    TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT: - Performance appraisal tries

    to identify the perfection of an employee on the present job.

    This information can be used for formulate Training &

    Development program to overcome weakness(s) of the

    employee.

    PRESSURE ON EMPLOYEES: - Performance appraisal puts

    some sort of pressure on employees for the better performance.

    If the employees are conscious that they are being appraised in

    respect of certain factors and their future growth depends on

    these appraisals, they tend to have positive and acceptable

    behavior in this respect. Thus appraisal can work automatically

    as a control device.

    Performance Appraisal

    SATISFACTION THROUGH FEEDBACK: - Performance

    appraisal provides feedback to employees about their

    performance. An employee can work better if an appropriate

    and timely feedback is provided for their current assignment.

    Satisfaction level of employees can increase if they know how

    their efforts are contributing to achieve the organizational

    objectives.

    Performance Appraisal

    METHODS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

    There are various methods of performance appraisal. Every

    organization may have its own appraisal system. It may be

    informal or formal, however in any case performance appraisal

    system is of two types:-

    a) Appraisal of employees according to traits, attributes, and

    general behavior.

    b) Appraisal of employee based on results, work, and goals

    achieved.

    15

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    16/105

    Performance Appraisal

    A. APPRAISAL BASED ON TRAITS

    Appraisal based on traits and behavioral pattern shown in job

    performance emphasizes various traits which the appraisee

    possesses and the behaviors he adopts in performing his job.

    The various methods of performance appraisal based in traits

    are following:-

    I. RANKING METHOD

    II. PAIRED COMPARISON METHOD

    III. GRADING METHOD

    IV. FORCED CHOICE METHOD

    V. CHECKLIST METHOD

    VI. CRITICAL INCIDENT METHOD

    VII. GRAPHICS SCALE METHOD

    I. RANKING METHOD: - Ranking is the oldest

    and the simplest methods of appraisal in which a

    person is ranked against others on the basis of

    certain traits and characteristic. But since differences

    in ranks do not indicate absolute or equal differences

    of ability between individuals, the method has limited

    value for performance appraisal.

    16

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    17/105

    Performance Appraisal

    II. PAIRED COMPARISON METHOD: - In this

    method, each person is compared with other persons

    taking only one trait at a time. Usually, only one trait

    overall suitability to perform the job is considered.

    The rater puts a tick mark against the name of the

    person whom he/she consider better of two and final

    ranking is determined by the number of times that

    person is judged better than others.

    III. GRADING METHOD: - In this method certain

    categories of performance or abilities are defined in

    advance and persons are put in particular category

    depending on their traits and characteristics.

    Such categories may be definitional like outstanding,

    good, average, poor, very poor or may be in term of

    letter like A,B,C,D,E etc. with A indicating the best

    and E indicating the poor. The actual performance of

    the employees is measured against these grades.

    This method is generally useful for promotions based

    on performance. This method however suffers from

    one limitation that the rater may rate most of the

    employees at higher grades.

    17

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    18/105

    Performance Appraisal

    IV. FORCED CHOICE METHOD: - The forces

    choice- rating method contains a series or group of

    statements and the rater checks how effectively the

    statements describe each individual.

    V. CHECKLIST METHOD: - In the checklist

    method of the appraisal the rater prepares appraisal

    report by answering a series of questions related to

    the appraisee. These questions are related to the

    behavior of the appraisee concerned. When the

    checklist is complete, it is send to the personnel

    department for further processing. The personnel

    department then calculates the total scores, which

    show the appraisal result of the employees. This

    method appears to be easy to handle if proper

    framework of questions is prepared for different

    categories of employees.

    VI. CRITICAL INCIDENT METHOD: - In this

    method only critical incidents and behavior

    associated with these incidents are taken for

    evaluation. This method involves three steps :-

    18

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    19/105

    Performance Appraisal

    a. A test of noteworthy on the job behavior is

    prepared.

    b. A group of experts then assigns scale values to

    them depending on the degree of desirability for

    the job.

    c. Finally, a checklist of incidents, which defines

    good or bad employees, is prepared. The rater is

    given this checklist for rating. The basic idea

    behind this rating is to apprise the people who can

    do well in critical situations because in normal

    situations, most employees work alike.

    VII. GRAPHICS SCALE METHOD: - Also known as

    linear rating scale is the most commonly used

    method of performance appraisal. In this method a

    printed appraisal form is used for each appraisee.

    The form contains various employees characteristics

    and his job performance. Various Characteristics

    include initiative, leadership, dependability, co

    cooperatives, enthusiasm, creditability, analytical

    ability, decisiveness, emotional maturity etc. The

    rating is done on the basis of scale that is in19

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    20/105

    Performance Appraisal

    continuum. The degree of quality is measured on a

    scale, which can vary from three points to several

    points. Some organizations use numbers in order to

    avoid the tendency of the rater to tick mark the

    central point. This method of the employees but is

    not free from personal bias.

    VIII. FIELD REVIEWS METHOD: - In the field

    review method, employees are not appraised by their

    direct superiors but by another person. Usually from

    personnel department. The rater in this case

    appraises the employee on the basis of his records of

    output and other quantitative information such

    absenteeism, late coming etc.

    20

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    21/105

    Performance Appraisal

    B. APPRAISAL BASED ON OBJECTIVES / RESULTS: -

    The performance appraisal is also done by comparing the actual

    results with the objectives formed by the company. The basic

    idea behind this method is that the organizations are concerned

    with the achievement of objectives through the contributions of

    individual mangers rather than on the basis of traits.

    The method of appraisal by objectives is:-MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES (MBO): - This method has

    been evolved by PETER DRUCKER. MBO is potentially a

    powerful philosophy of managing and an effective way for

    operationalizing the evaluation process. It seeks to minimize

    external controls and maximize internal motivation through

    joint goal setting between managers and subordinate. The

    objective is to change behavior & attitude towards getting

    the job done. It is a result oriented management system &

    philosophy that stresses goal rather than methods. It

    provides responsibility & accountability and recognizes that

    employees have needs for achievement and self-fulfillment.

    21

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    22/105

    Performance Appraisal

    PROCESS OF MBO: - The steps involved in the

    process are:-

    SETTING GOALS: Top managers formulate the overall

    organizational goals and plans, and then works with middle

    managers to develop goals for their organizational divisions or

    units. In turn, middle managers work with first-line managers to

    set goals for their departments or groups. During this process,

    managers and employees at all levels, in collaboration with their

    supervisors, also set individual goals for performance.

    PLANNING ACTION: Managers determine exactly how their

    individual and group goals will be accomplished. During action

    planning, managers decide on the "who, what, when, where,

    22

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    23/105

    Performance Appraisal

    and how" details needed to achieve each objective. Managers

    also prepare a schedule for the action plan to ensure that goals

    are reached on time, and this schedule is reviewed when

    individual performance is being evaluated.

    IMPLEMENTING PLANS: Once, managers have made a

    commitment to achieve specific goals and have received

    approval for their plans, the third step is implementation. To

    control their own performance, managers must be allowed to

    implement their plans in their own way. This element of self-

    control allows managers to channel their expertise for the

    benefit of the organization, while allowing them to develop their

    professional skills fully as they tackle the challenges of

    implementation.

    REVIEWING PERFORMANCE: In the last step of the MBO

    process, managers periodically review the performance of the

    employees they supervise and evaluate how well the plans are

    working in achieving group and individual goals.

    23

    24/105

    Performance Appraisal

    PREREQUISITE OF THE PERFORMANCE

    MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

    Reliability: - The foremost requirement of a sound appraisal

    system is reliability. In this contact it refers to consistency of

    judgment.

    Acceptability: - In practice, acceptability is the most important

    requirement of all; for it is true that human resources program

    must have the support of those who will use them.

    Practicality: - This implies that appraisal instruments are easy

    for managers and employees to understand and to use.

    WHO SHOULD EVALUATE PERFORMANCE?

    The most fundamental requirement for any rater is that he or

    she has an adequate exposure/opportunity to observe the rates

    job performance over a reasonable period of time. This suggests

    several possible raters.

    The immediate supervisor: - Generally appraisal is done by

    immediate supervisor. He is probably the most well-known with

    the individuals performance and in most jobs has had the best

    opportunity to observe actual job performance. Further more,

    24

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    25/105

    Performance Appraisal

    the immediate supervisor is probably best able to relate the

    individuals performing to department and organizations

    objectives.

    Peers: - In some jobs such as outside sales, expatriate (PCN,

    HCN, TCN), law enforcement and teaching, the immediate

    supervisor may observe a subordinates actual job performance

    rarely (and indirectly thru written reports). Here judgement of

    peers play important role. However, there is a danger of

    potential bias.

    Subordinates: - Appraisal by subordinates can be useful input

    to the immediate development. Subordinates know first hand

    the extent to which the supervisor actually delegates, how well

    he communicates, the type of leadership he has and the extent

    to which he or she plans and organizes.

    Self appraisal: - On one hand it improves the rates motivation

    and moral, on the other it tends to be more lenient, less variable

    and biased. The evidence on the accuracy of self assessment is

    fairly complex.

    In industry it is seen that feed back is taken from various

    sources peers, subordinates, superiors etc. Some companies

    have gone one step ahead in taking feedback form the25

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    26/105

    Performance Appraisal

    customers, stakeholders and integrating it into the performance

    management process. Such feedbacks are also known as 360

    degree appraisal.

    26

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    27/105

    Performance Appraisal

    APPROACHES TO PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

    The traditional approach:- The one dimensional model.

    In this model job expectations are defined in terms of what

    results have to be achieved. This model doesnt have a long

    term focus and cant be used for employees development and

    career path planning.

    27

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    28/105

    Performance Appraisal

    The 360o dimensional models

    360 degree appraisals are a powerful developmental method

    and quite different to traditional manager-subordinate

    appraisals (which fulfil different purposes). As such a 360

    degree process does not replace the traditional one-to-one

    process - it augments it, and can be used as a stand-alone

    development method.

    360 degree appraisals involve the appraisee receiving feedback

    from people (named or anonymous) whose views are

    considered helpful and relevant. The feedback is typically

    provided on a form showing job

    skills/abilities/attitudinal/behavioural criteria and some sort of28

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    29/105

    Performance Appraisal

    scoring or value judgement system. The appraisee should also

    assess themselves using the same feedback instrument or form.

    360 degree respondents can be the appraisee's peers, up-line

    managers/execs, subordinate staff, team members, other staff,

    customers, and suppliers - anyone who comes into contact with

    the appraisee and has opinions/views/reactions of and to the

    appraisee. Numerous systems and providers are available - I

    wouldn't recommend any in particular because my view about

    this process is that you should develop a process and materials

    for your own situation, preferably involving the appraisees in

    this, which like all participative approaches, often works well.

    29

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    30/105

    Performance Appraisal

    BARRIERS IN PERFORMANCE

    There are barriers, which work against the effective appraisal

    system. Identification of these barriers is essential, so that

    suitable measure may be adopted to reduce their impact to a

    possible minimum level. These barriers can be grouped in three

    categories, they are

    a. Personality Conflict Personality conflict between the

    employee and the supervisor cause the leader to make an

    inaccurate assessment of the employees contribution.

    b. Halo or Horn Effect An assumption on the part of the

    supervisor that because the employee was good at one

    thing, they will be good at another, or vice versa.

    c. Tendency Error There are two kinds of tendency errors.

    Central tendency is when the supervisor tends to see

    everything as average, such as a 3 on a 5-point scale.

    Leniency is another tendency error where the supervisor

    tends to see the employee only in a positive light.

    30

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    31/105

    Performance Appraisal

    d. Similar to Me Effect Occurs when there is non-job

    factors in common between the supervisor and the

    employee such as social or religious similarities.

    e. Contrast Effect Occurs when comparing the skill of the

    employee with the skill of another employee which results

    in an unfair judgment of the first employee.

    f. First Impression Performance appraisal is made

    without observation over time. This can be both positive

    and negative based on impression that is created.

    g. Political Error Factors other than performance affect

    the performance appraisal.

    h. Opportunity Bias Occurs when an unusual event allows

    or causes inaccurate performance appraisal.

    Performance Appraisal

    OVERCOMING BARRIERS OF PERFORMANCE

    APPRAISAL

    Giving effective feedback is one of the most important functions

    a leader/manager can perform. Unfortunately, it is also one of

    the most neglected. Without accurate feedback it is virtually

    impossible for the employee to know if he/she is meeting job

    expectations. In the absence of feedback, employees will

    makeup their own and it often is not accurate. Incompetent

    employees may think they are doing a great job if their

    supervisor never says anything about their performance. Even

    more commonly, capable employees will have doubts about

    their own performance because their supervisor has not given

    them any positive feedback.

    TRAINED APPRAISERS: - The appraisers should be well

    trained so that they may be able to rate the ratees in a more

    accurate and developed method rather than employing the old

    traditional and less accurate methods. They should also be

    trained to avoid errors such as halo-errors, constant rating and

    so on.

    32

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    33/105

    Performance Appraisal

    POST APPRAISAL: - After appraisal is completed, a post

    appraisal interview should be conducted to let the employees or

    the ratees know about their evaluation and they can know their

    shortcomings and can take measurers to improve them.

    REWARDS FOR ACCURATE APPRAISERS: - Some rewards

    should be given to the appraisers who have done appraisals

    accurately. When the rewards will be given they would turn

    positive towards the appraisal system.

    MULTIPLE RATERS: - Instead of only one rater or appraiser

    completing the appraisals, multiple raters should be involved in

    the appraisal system. Due to the presence of a group of raters

    ratings can be done more effectively. In the case of only one

    rater it would be difficult to avoid distortions whereas in the

    presence of a group they can be avoided to a greater extent.

    OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

    OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

    The project aims at studying the performance appraisal system

    and its effectiveness in the organization. Performance appraisal

    is the most significant and essential tool for the management as

    it provide useful information for decision making in area of

    promotion, compensation reviews and help employee in

    Individual development plan.

    THE BROAD OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY INCLUDES:

    To know the present system of performance appraisal.

    To know the extent of effectiveness of the appraisal

    system.

    To identify and know the area for improvement in the

    PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEM

    IN HHPL, GURGAON

    HHPL has a performance appraisal system for their employees.

    The main objective of performance appraisal system is to

    evaluate the performance, promote their employees and to

    arrange for the various training program if they require for

    enhancing their skills in their respective areas and in

    contribution enhancement.

    Employees are evaluated by how well they accomplish a specific

    set of objectives that have been determined to be critical in the

    successful completion of their job. This approach is frequently

    referred to as Management by Objectives. Management by

    objectives is a process to converts organizational objectives into

    individual objectives. It consists of four steps: goal setting,

    action planning, self-control, and periodic reviews. In goal

    setting, the organization's overall objectives are used as

    guidelines from which division and individual objectives are

    identified. In action planning, the means are determined for

    achieving the ends established in goal setting. That is, realistic

    plans are developed to attain the objectives. Self-control refers

    41

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    Performance Appraisal

    to the systematic monitoring and measuring of performance.

    Finally, with periodic progress reviews, corrective action is

    initiated when behavior deviates from the standards established

    in the goal-setting phase. HHPL uses very constructive

    performance appraisal process while evaluating its employees.

    Its evaluation is based on quantitative wise and objective wise.

    HHPL set goals to its employee by properly conveying with its

    employees, and then evaluating them up to what extent it has

    been achieved, and if there is failure in reaching the target,

    what are the causes or reasons behind it.

    Outcome/criteria of Performance Appraisal

    As far as HHPL, India is concerned, there are four outcomes are

    possible:

    management turns out to be outstanding/exceed

    expectations. If the employee performs in such a way as to

    collect 3 consecutive outstanding performances into his/her

    credit, he/she gets promoted.

    SWOT ANALYSIS

    1. STRENGTH : Harsoria Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. is a private

    limited company incorporated on August 2, 2002 under

    the Indian Companies Act. The factory has been

    established at Plot Nos.110&111, Phase-IV, Udyog Vihar,

    Gurgaon -122015, Haryana (India). This factory is a 100%

    EOU (Export Oriented Unit) registered with the Noida

    Export Processing Zone (NEPZ). Harsoria commenced

    operations in its Design & Development section in June

    2002 and the commercial production for the Medical

    Devices for Single Use commenced in March 2003.The

    company is organized and managed by professionals

    having considerable experience in the field. All varieties of

    IV Catheters being manufactured comply with

    International standards for the Product as well as Quality

    Systems. Currently, the entire production is earmarked for

    the company's export customers, however the company

    intends serving requirements of the product in India to

    some extent. The current overseas customer base is

    84

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    85/105

    Performance Appraisal

    spread in Europe, Middle-East and some South East Asian

    countries. The company is committed to meet the

    expectations of its valued customers.

    2. WEAKNESS: HHPL is considered as conservative company

    because of its low risk taking capability, while investing

    their clients money in the health care product market

    among their competitors in US and Canada. They The

    main weakness of the company is that the company is

    taking the performance appraisal objective wise, while

    evaluating a performance of particular employee,

    objective wise, the employee does not get enough

    opportunity to express completely and freely the valid

    reasons of his/her failure to the organization. Weakness is

    also highlighted when HHPL, India do this performance

    appraisal procedure annually.

    3. OPPORTUNITY : With the help of the performance

    appraisal system the employee get feedback from the

    company. Employees can realize easily his/her level of

    85

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    86/105

    Performance Appraisal

    efficiency level. By this performance appraisal system the

    employee gets enormous opportunity to enhance their

    skills by customized training and various other

    management programmes.

    4. THREATS :

    While evaluating an employees performance the

    performance appraisal system there is always a chance of

    fear that those employees who are unable to achieve their

    target can take it as a huge setback for them and in the

    log term it tends to decrease their efficiency level how

    good the employee is and thus it effect the overall

    performance of the organization.

    Also future appraisal can be biased from the previous

    years ratings.

    SUMMARY AND FINDINGS

    The analysis and interpretation of data on study of performance

    appraisal and its effectiveness in an organization led to the

    following findings:

    The promotion rules though defined need to be

    communicated to every employee before appraisal

    process is done and also justifies the promotion as a result

    of the appraisal. Promotion policy followed differs at

    different position and category. Uniformity has to be there

    in the implementation of promotion policy at all levels.

    The process of performance appraisal followed in HHPL,

    India at the supervisory and above level is not good but it

    is of satisfactory level. The employees do not rate it very

    good.

    The appraisal outcome has to be used frequently for the

    purpose of reward on performing well together with the

    feedback on the performance. Also when performance

    87

    goes down employee has to be given feedback and

    motivated to do better.

    At present, the organization doesnt implement the career

    planning and career succession plans effectively.

    In HHPL, India feedback is being provided to the employee

    occasionally.

    Performance appraisal is done annually.

    More emphasis on training and job rotation as remedial

    measures.

    The mechanism of counseling before and after

    performance is not in practice at the organization in

    stringent fashion. During the course of study suggestions

    came from the employee side for the need of counseling.

    RECOMMENDATIONS

    There are some recommendations:-

    Training the Appraise: It is proposed that appraiser

    should be trained for clear understanding of the appraisal

    system and its objective and also counseled to be honest,

    fair, just, unbiased in appraising the appraise.

    Factors/behavior of evaluation: It is proposed that

    appraisee evaluated on above factors/behavior be given

    suitable remark or justification for being given different

    quantitative grade.

    More clarity has to be there in terms of expectations and

    job responsibility. This is possible when the appraisal is

    done on the basis of the job description.

    In HHPL, performance appraisal is done on an annual

    basis; this should be changed to Quarterly to make it more

    effective.

    91

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    92/105

    Performance Appraisal

    Consistency and more openness are demanded in the

    promotional policy. It should not be changed every year.

    Monetary difference between two grades should not be

    big; it should be motivating in nature.

    Performance Appraisal system should be made more

    transparent, unbiased and rationale.

    Performance feedback: The performance feedback

    sessions should be improved which would results in

    increasing employee motivation to improve performance.

    The following could be incorporated.

    - Identify the problem behavior and make sure the

    employee is aware of it.

    - Make sure that the employee understands the

    consequences of the problem behavior.

    - Assistance should be provided to the employees to

    improve the performance. Make a reasonable plan

    appropriate to the behavior and set a timeframe for

    improvement.

    92

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    93/105

    Performance Appraisal

    - To make sure review the performance time to time.

    The other change which has to be incorporated at the

    Manager/supervisor and the level above are :

    - The task should be listed down during the previous

    year and the result achieved.

    - In some areas of performance there should be self

    appraisal and an effective counseling should be

    provided to the employees to improve on weaker

    area and understands what is expected of him/her at

    the organization level.

    - Based on the above an open appraisal system is

    suggested.

    In an open appraisal system, the employee would come

    together to set the targets, to understand the mutual

    expectations and support to be provided by the appraiser to the

    employee for achieving mutually accepted targets. Through this

    process of setting targets the interpersonal relationship

    between the appraiser and the employee would improve.

    93

  • 8/6/2019 Dharmender

    94/105

    Performance Appraisal

    The open appraisal system reduces the whims and fancies of

    the appraiser. It promotes result orientation as it is based on

    performance rather than on personality based appraisal.
