Weightages:
Weighatges are used to achieve rational rating against your operational goals. It is basically to rank the tasks executed and
assign suitable weightage to each of your KRA. The more important tasks would get higher weightages. (E.g. for sales associate,
sales target could have a higher weightage than following up with customers for form completion etc. which could have a lower
weightage.
After reviewing/ updating weightages, you need to rate yourself against each deliverable on a scale of 0-5 ( 5 being the
highest indicating an „Excellent‟ Performance in that particular area and 0 being the lowest indicating a „Poor‟ Performance.)
Note : Weightages sum should be 100, with a maximum weightage for each deliverable being 40 and minimum being 5.
Overall Rating for Section 1:
o The rating for each deliverable will be multiplied against the assigned weightages.
o This will calculate an overall rating for section 1.

PMS Ratings : Excellent - (5): This rating indicates that the reviewee has demonstrated exceptional performance resulting in
extraordinary contribution to the role assigned. This contribution can be measured in terms of either a major cost
saving, improvement in the existing system or a paradigm shift in the business process impacting the organization
in its functioning and governance. This associate is viewed as the role model in terms of displaying the related
behavioral competencies / management attributes. If an associate is rated between 4.50 – 5, then the rounded off
rating will become Excellent.
Very Good - (4): This rating indicates a performance level that is higher than the „Good Performance‟. The
associate displays a higher degree of initiative, pro-activeness and ownership for achieving not only the self-goals
but also the team goals. The associate is seen as someone delivering higher performance in the present role along
with a potential for further growth. If an associate is rated between 3.50 – 4.49, then the rounded off rating will
become Very Good.
Good – (3): This rating indicates the performance achievement at target by the associate as per the role and tasks
assigned during the period under review. Minimal supervision, consistency in performance, thoughtful contribution,
self driven actions and tasks for the role allotted are the measures for this rating for the associate. The
performance expectation is set with a high benchmark and hence “Good” is a positive rating. If an associate is
rated between 2.50 –3.49, then the rounded off rating will become Good.
34
Fair – (2): This rating indicates that the reviewee has performed at a moderate level and has been close to the
target as per the role and tasks assigned. The associate has a scope for performance improvement by showing
higher responsibility, ownership and initiative. The associate requires regular supervision and monitoring and is
seen achieving the task assigned, however with minimal ownership. If an associate is rated between 1.5 – 2.49,
then the rounded off rating will become Fair.
Not Satisfactory – (1): This rating indicates inadequate/insufficient performance on the part of the associate
and non-achievement of most of the desired outcomes. The associate‟s performance has been below
expectation, with no value addition to the role or the tasks handled. The associate has a significant scope for
performance improvement. If an associate is rated between 1.0 – 1.49, then the rounded off rating will become
Not Satisfactory
Poor – (0): This rating indicates consistent lack of performance on the part of the associate. The associate is
seen as not achieving the tasks by a large margin, despite supervision and monitoring. The associate lacks the
willingness to learn and apply. There appears to be no scope for performance improvement. If an associate is
rated 0 - 0.99, then the rounded off rating will become Poor.
