    IMPORTANCE OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEM

    Performance Appraisal is method of evaluation the behaviour of employees in

    the work spot, normally including both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of

    performance. It is a systematic and objective way of evaluating both work-related

    behaviour and potential of employees. It is a process that involves determining

    communicating to an employee how he or she is performing the job and ideally

    establishing a plan of improvement.

    PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL PROCESS

    The term appraisal means evaluation of the performance of employees.

    Evaluation of employees performance or potential provide data about past,

    present and expected performance so that appropriate decisions can be made.

    Systematic, formalized appraisals of an employee are likely to occurs at regular

    intervals throughout the history of ones employment in an organization

    performance Appraisal assists mangers in making decisions about differential

    treatment to be accorded to individual employees in salary administration,

    promotion, transfer, performance planning, training, counseling, discipline an

    other matters to enhance the attainment of organizational goals.

    Performance appraisal is a process of evaluating employee performance in order

    to guide and develop the employee's potential. In many extension organizations,

    which are government departments, the performance appraisal is nothing more

    than a confidential judgment of work done and a character report used to

    facilitate disciplinary action or promotion.

    Performance appraisal is planned, developed and implemented through a series

    of steps:

    Establish performance standard

    Appraisal system requires performance standards, which serve as benchmarks

    against which performance is measured.

    6

    7/58

    Communicated the standard

    Performance Appraisal involves at least two parts- the appraiser who does the

    appraisal and the appraisee whose performance being evaluated. Both are

    expected to do certain things. The appraiser should prepare job description

    clearly; help appraisee set his set his goals and targets; analyse results

    objectively; offer coaching and guidance to appraisee whenever require an

    reward good results.

    Measure actual performance

    After the performance standards are set and accepted, the next steps are to

    measure actual performance. This requires the use of dependable performance

    measures, the rating used to evaluate performance. Performance measures, to

    be helpful must be easy to use, be reliable and report on the critical behavioursthat determine performance. Four common sources of information, which are

    generally used by manager regarding how to measure performance; Personal

    observation, statistical reports, oral report and written report.

    Compare actual performance with standard and discuss the appraisal

    Actual performance may be better than expected and sometimes it may go off

    the track. Whatever be the consequence, there is a way to communicate and

    discus the final outcome.

    Taking corrective action, if necessary

    Corrective action is of two types. The one which puts out the fires immediately

    and other one which at the root of the problem permanently. Immediately and

    other one which strike at the root of the problem permanently.

    To emphasize the developmental of appraisal, it has been named "PerformanceAppraisal and Development plan". Presently three different Performance

    Appraisal and Development Plan forms are in vogue to cadre to the appraisalneeds of different level of employee. These are the forms, which are used inAditya Cement for the better Performance Appraisal.(Appen:1)

    COMMON APPRAISAL

    MANAGERIAL PERFORMANMCE AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN(MPDP)

    The common appraisal system - Managerial Performance and Development

    Plan - for the Assistant Managers and above of the Group is implement in Aditya

    Cement as well. The system has gone through several refinements based on the

    feedback received from some of their Directors and other senior managers. The

    objective of the new common appraisal system is to make it more goal-focused

    and to standardize it right across the Group. Aditya Cement has some trends for

    this process. These trends are towards separate system for each cluster of

    objectives. It is business-linked appraisal. This system is Participative and

    discussion biased system. It focused on results and processes.

    In Aditya Cement it is an annual exercise and linked with unit or group objectives.

    It is a concept of self-appraisal and review of performance. But this process have

    different standard, rating scales and systems. Specialty of this process is that it is

    fully confidential system with development orientation. MPDP have some

    different names like- a performance plan, Performance review, Potential

    is that it is a transparent system. In Aditya Cement a lot of attention is given on

    performance planning and development because it is mid-course review with

    corrective action.

    MAIN FEATURES OF MPDP

    This process is mid-course review and it also takes corrective action for

    completing the goals, which was mentioned lastly. It facilitates the process of

    development that are, executive involvement through self-appraisal and

    introspection. This process has a different way of rating. They have 4 profiles that

    are exceptional achiever, high achiever, consistent contributor and performer.

    Appraisee, Appraiser and reviewer are responsible for the process because they

    have to do discussion before going to fill the form of appraisal. Appriasee is the

    executive and one whose performance is to be assessed over one entire cycle.

    Appraiser is the manager, one under whom the Appraise has closely worked

    during the appraisal cycle. The Reviewer who is the appraiser's superior does the

    other part; he is one who has worked closely with the appraiser and oversees

    and the department or the function where the appraisee works.

    The MPDP pursues the following objectives: -

    To create and to foster a performance oriented and learning culture

    through role clarity

    THE APPRAISAL FORM - A GUIDE

    The purpose of this section is to take you on guided tour of the appraisal form.

    The first page of the form captures a brief picture of the Appraisee's personal

    details such as name, designation, qualifications and work experience etc. Unit

    HRD will be responsible to furnish this data in each appraisal form.

    A1 Key Performance Areas (KPA's)

    (To be filled by the Appraisee after discussions with his

    Appraiser)

    A KPA is a thrust area or the area of importance dictated by the needs of

    a business. It is an area of focus that calls for Appraisees time, attention

    and resource. In short, it summarizes the Appraisees job profile and may

    change in focus from year to year with the change in business context or

    organizational goals.

    At the beginning of the year, the Appraiser shares the organizational and

    functional goals to help the Appraisee prepare his list of KPAs for the year.

    KPA's are derived from an Appraisees function such as Marketing, HRD,

    Finance and so on. For a Marketing Manager, for example, the thrust

    area could be the introduction of new products in one year and it could be

    distribution in another.

    The Appraisee documents his KPA's, in order of priority on page 1 of the

    appraisal form. The number of KPA's identified may be less than 5 and

    may sometimes even exceed 5. The Appraisee retains the original

    appraisal form, gives a copy of pages 1, 2, & 3 to the Appraiser and the

    Unit HRD for reference.

    16

  • 8/3/2019 The Aditya Birla Group is India

    17/58

    A2 First six months' objectives

    (To be filled by Appraisee after discussion with his Appraiser)

    The next step of the form involves listing down objectives based on the

    KPA's. Objectives are specific quantifiable tasks/targets. They establish a

    yardstick against which performance may be assessed at the end of the

    review periods.

    These objectives should be clear, brief, and measurable and time bound.

    In the case of service functions, it may not be always easy to set

    objectives in quantifiable terms but efforts must be made in this direction.

    An element of challenge should be willingly built into them so that the

    Appraisee stretches for his own good & organizational excellence. Anobjective cannot be a routine activity of the Appraisee. It must be

    something that adds a value to the business that did not exist earlier.

    Let us look at the example of the marketing manager once again. If his

    KPA is to introduce a new product, his objective to achieve this KPA could

    involve the following:

    Test marketing the product in region X by July

    Make the promotion plan by September

    Hold a launch conference in October

    Objectives are to be set for each KPA identified for the year. Total

    number of objectives set for the whole year should not exceed 5-6. These

    objectives need to be divided into two categories i.e. those which will be

    started and completed within the first 6 months and those which will be

    started after 1st July and will be completed by the end of December. There

    may be some objectives, which may take more than six months to

    achieve. In such cases, the objective should be listed both in sections A2

    17

  • 8/3/2019 The Aditya Birla Group is India

    18/58

    and A3, clearly indicating what part of it would be completed in the first 6

    months and which part in the second half of the year.

    The column "agreed key objectives" on page 2 provides space for the

    Appraisee to document objectives to be achieved in the first six months of

    the appraisal period.

    At the end of the first six-month period (i.e. June 30) a meeting between

    the Appraiser and Appraisee will review the progress in achieving the

    objectives.

    Separate sub-columns have been provided for both the Appraisee &

    Appraiser's qualitative assessment of achievement of objectives e.g. theymay comment on whether the objectives have been not achieved or

    partially/totally achieved. If objectives have been partially or not at all

    achieved, reasons must be assigned for it.

    Objectives for the second six months may change due to certain

    exceptional changes in assignment or focus; these changes may be

    highlighted in the sub-column "agreed action plan".

    The Appraisee is also given an opportunity to reflect on his performance

    and identify factors (external or internal) that may have facilitated or

    inhibited him in achieving his objectives.

    e.g. facilitating factors - co-operation from other departments, good control

    systems, support from his Appraiser.

    e.g. Inhibiting factors - delayed decision making, delay in supplies, change

    in management policies, lack of training to operate new equipment, period

    of ill health. Care should be taken to record genuine constraints

    supported by facts.

    18

  • 8/3/2019 The Aditya Birla Group is India

    19/58

    If the Appraisee has made any significant contribution over and above his

    agreed objectives, it must be captured in the column provided on page 2.

    Significant contributions may be identified in the following three areas:

    a) Active role in a Group-wide initiative - e.g. The Group Management

    Trainee scheme or the group wide organizational survey, being part of any

    task force or a TPM team.

    b) Development of subordinates - This would involve documentation of ways

    in which you have created a supportive work environment e.g. through

    delegation (entrusted your subordinate/s with higher responsibility).

    c) System implementation - This may include introduction of a new system or

    strengthening the existing ones for effective system orientation e.g. a

    customer feedback system.

    A3 Second six months' objectives

    (To be filled by Appraisee after discussions with his Appraiser)

    The column on page 3 is similar in concept to the column on page 2. The

    only difference is that it highlights the agreed objectives set for the second

    six month's period of the appraisal cycle and the review of that

    performance.

    B1 Personal and Career Development

    (To be filled only by the Appraisee)

    The Appraisee has the opportunity to list down:

    Any new learning of a significant nature e.g. an innovative way of solving a

    technical problem or an insight about business acquired from his experience.

    The idea here is to enable a manager to think through his previous year's

    experience so that he can reinforce new learning's.

    19

    20/58

    Any skills and/or expertise acquired or sharpened during the past year in

    course of work or through training e.g. budgeting, media planning, lateral

    thinking, interpersonal skills etc.

    Areas where he wishes to further improve

    His plans to achieve the improvements he desires

    His career interests, immediate and short term (next 1-3 years) so that these

    may be taken into consideration when planning future assignments for him.

    And others in the Group. This will also aid more meaningful Human

    Resource Planning.

    B2 Achievement profile

    (To be filled only by the Appraiser)

    Its purpose is to provide an overall perspective of the Appraisees

    contribution & performance. The achievement profile relates to the

    present job performance & not to potential. This profile is identified by the

    Appraiser and shared with the Appraisee.

    The appraiser should use the following scale to arrive at the achievement

    profile of the Appraisee:

    Exceptional High Consistent Performer

    Achiever Achiever Contributor

    I___________I____________I___________I

    A detailed description of each profile is given below. It highlights certain

    attributes; behavior patterns & performance to enable the appraiser draw a pen

    picture of the Appraisee, taking into consideration the overall applicability of the

    profile.

    Potential assessment is a measure of the extent to which the

    Appraisee possesses certain skills and competencies to take on

    higher responsibilities. This helps to identify areas where the

    Appraisee can contribute his/her best.

    The appraiser would need to consider several factors while assessing the

    Appraisee's potential. e.g. The Appraisee's career growth till date

    and his/her career aspirations; the quality of performance in the

    past and at present; strengths and weaknesses; knowledge, skills

    and attitudes required at higher level and/or any other function;

    and assign reasons why he thinks or doesn't think so. He may also

    suggest ways of preparing the Appraisee to take on higher

    responsibility or be rotated to any other function/units.

    to recommend the Appraisee for a promotion or transfer or to take

    on additional responsibility in the same/any other Unit.

    salary have to be made by the appraiser.

    After the Appraiser signs the appraisal form, the Appraiser forwards it to

    his Superior (the reviewer) for his input. The reviewer shares and

    documents his views about the entire appraisal and then forwards it

    to the Unit head for his signature.

    contribute more effectively.

    In case the Appraisee has disagreement with his appraisal done by the

    Appraiser, the Appraiser is responsible to escalate it to his

    Superior.

    The Appraiser & Appraisee may jointly arrive at 1 or 2 development

    opportunities which are likely to have the biggest impact on

    achieving the Appraisee's performance plan and fulfilling his

    development needs. Specific actions to be taken by the Appraisee

    4.1. CONCLUSION

    From the study, the researcher concludes that in Aditya Cement performance

    appraisal system is working at an expected pace. The topic Effectiveness of

    performance appraisal system in Aditya cement is done by the survey method.

    Successful implementation and institutionalization of Performance Appraisal

    demands the real support and active participation of all concerned i.e. Appraisee,

    Appraiser, Reviewer and Unit Head. They need to make wholehearted

    contribution to make this system effective.

    Appraisal should be viewed essentially as an instrument of development and notan instrument of rewards by the management only. After the analysis the

    researcher comes to know that the Appraiser should try to analyze the strengths

    and weaknesses of an employee and guide him about building his

    skill/behavioral gaps.

    In Aditya cement the Appraiser should organize a feedback session with

    Appraisee after appraisal during which feedback can be given to appraisee and

    his difficulties in performing assigned tasks can be understood.

    For avoiding discrimination in appraisal, Aditya Cement used three types of

    appraisal process MPDP, PADP (managerial) and PADP (non-managerial). So

    that every employee get good and appropriate appraisal at proper time.

    Thus, the policy and practice of performance appraisal at Aditya Birla is none or

    less service the bank purpose of human resource development and so also the

    organizational effectiveness.
