How organization defines performance
In PTCL performance management (PM) is more than the end of the year appraisal. Its about
translating goals into results. PTCL focuses not only on individual employees, but also on teams,
programs, processes and the organization as a whole. A well developed PM program addresses in
PTCL for individuals and organizational performance matters necessary to properly create and
sustain a healthy and effective results-oriented culture.

Informal review process


A technical review is a discussion meeting that focuses on achieving consensus about the
technical content of a document. This is informal type of review so less process and documents
are needed for this type of review. There is little or no focus on defect identification on the basis
of referenced document, intended leadership and rules. During technical reviews defects are
21 | P a g e

found by experts, who focus on the content of the document. The experts that are needed for a
technical review are, for example, architects, chief designers and key users. No management
participation required in technical review. Informal review are commonly used and followed on
regular basis in PTCL.
For Example

MR. RIAZ AHMED (Operational Manager) at PTCL report to Executive vice president, its
under the hand of Vise president to take a informal meeting and discuss the alternative strategies
to overcome the errors which are faced, focusing on demonstrating how work product meets all
requirements. It depends up on the nature of the task and project assigned to regional manager,
reviews and performance feed backs can be pass out whenever there is a need whether there is
Quarter of the year or for weekly bases.
Feedback
PTCL use three types of feedback as following:
Positive - applies to situations where a person did a good job; may consist of a simple praise, but
even more powerfully reinforcing if you specifically highlight why or how that person did a
good job. PTCL applies this feedback type in their organization.
Constructive - highlights how a person could do better next time; needs to be delivered
sensitively. PTCL uses the Action-Impact-Desired Outcome (AID) model; focus on observable
facts, not assumed traits.
Coaching and training for underperformers
Talk to the underperformer - In PTCL, the manager usually use to talk with the employee
directly. Explain exactly what youre observing, how the teams work is affected, and make clear
that you want to help. The conversation go something like this: Im seeing issues with your
performance. I believe that you can do better and I know that I may be contributing to the
problem. So how do we get out of this? How do we improve? Its important to engage the
person in brainstorming solutions. Ask them to come up with ideas. Dont expect an
immediate response though. The person may need time to digest your feedback and come back
later with some proposals.
Regularly monitor their progress - It may seem obvious, but unfortunately, many managers fail
to follow up but PTCL focuses on monitoring on regular basis. Ask the person to check in with
22 | P a g e

you regularly, or set up a time and date in the future to check progress. It may be helpful to ask
the employee if he has someone that hed like you to enlist in the effort. Manager use to ask: Is
there anyone you trust who can provide me with feedback about how well youre doing in
making these changes? Doing this sends a positive message: It says I want this to work and I
want you to feel comfortable; Im not going to sneak around your back.
For example

Muhammad Tahir Nawaz (Regional Manager) in PTCL attend Weeks Management training
on every quarter of the year and attended a seminar/training session with World Renowned
Speaker like in February 2016 he attended a seminar with Ron Kaufman on Service Uplifting
Culture for running an efficient sales team including selection of distributors, supervising,
coaching sales team, discipline and motivating direct sales force

23 | P a g e

Appraisal process, role of appraisals in rewards


In PTCL appraisal process, to measure the performance there are few methods and standards and
benchmarks, which an organization have to follow, in the case of PTCL too. Their main
objectives are as follows:
Improvement in Performance
Effectiveness, Efficiency, Productivity, Motivation
Pay and Benefit Adjustments
Training & Development Needs
Career Planning & Development with Personal and Employee Development
Staffing (Recruitment & Selection)
Response and Feedback from
Performance Appraisal Methods
There are many performance appraisal methods but in PTCL they use Rating scale for
performance evaluation.
Rating Scale:
The PTCL uses the rating sale for their appraisal process because the rating scale method offers a
high degree of structure for appraisals. Each employee trait or characteristic is rated on a bipolar
scale that usually has several points ranging from "poor" to "excellent" (or some similar
arrangement).
The traits assessed on these scales include employee attributes such as cooperation,
communications ability, initiative, punctuality and technical (work skills) competence. The
nature and scope of the traits selected for inclusion is limited only by the imagination of the
scale's designer, or by the organization's need to know.
Appraisal Reward System

PTCL used Rating Scale for appraisal reward. It is a system in which an employee is rewarded
on the effective and efficient required performance. PTCL has a very organized and effective
compensation system according to the rules and regulations of Government of Pakistan. They are
offering 30% more pay then other Government Organizations. The rewards, benefits, allowances
that are offered by PTCL for its employees and workers as well as officers.

24 | P a g e

Critique on the companys performance management system

There are very few programs for career development of the employees. People working
in one section or department from years are still with the same knowledge and style of
doing job but only few of them are getting training in PTCL. There should be proper
career planning of employee that not only sharpens the skills of the employee & improve
its efficiency but also results in better and improved output for the organization.

All the tool of enforcement of strict financial discipline may be under taken in order to
monitor the whole performance management system.

All the records are not still computerized and for this purpose special computer program
should be used.

All employees are not equipped with up to date IT skills and for this purpose refresher &
training courses should be designed.

The officers are not much trained be to adopt company culture soft-spoken, good
relations with customers and target oriented.

Most of the PTCL personnel are non-professional; I suggest that the competent authority
of PTCL should be appointing professionals.

There should be effective human resource department in order to get right people on the
right job. Which means the recruitment system and staff should be more qualified.

Over staffing and unbalanced distribution of employees in departments. Like all the
government and semi government institutions PTCL has also excessive staff than
required. In order to increase the efficiency of worker job is assigned to its caliber for
development of his interest in work that increase the out put and decrease the overall cost
of organization.

25 | P a g e

Recommendations for any gaps identified

Key Performance Indicators are not strong enough to measure the exact or approximate
performance of the employees. They need to introduce new matrices and other possible

systems to judge the performance of employees.


PTCL I providing few of the training workshops to employees. Few of many designations
in PTCL are availing the training. PTCL needs to provide training to each employee as

the competition in this market is getting stronger.


Credible measures of performance that employees understand and accept are critical for
achieving high level performance. They are using rating scales which includes biasness

so, there requires new systems.


Feedback should inform, enlighten, and suggest improvements to employees regarding
their performance. Supervisors should describe specific work related behavior or results

they observe as close to the event as possible.


Using their coaching skills, supervisors evaluate and address the developmental needs of
their employees and help them select diverse experiences to gain necessary skills.
Supervisors and employees create development plans that might include training, new

assignment, job enrichment, self study or work details.


Supervisors must understand that valid performance appraisal information is in the long
run more important than protecting the short-term interests of ones immediate
subordinates. Therefore, he says, supervisors need concrete information regarding the
employees potential career path-information, in other words, about the nature of the
future work for which he or she is appraising the subordinate, or which the subordinate
desires.

Performance management process


How organization defines performance
In multi-net high organizational performance is when all the parts of an organization work
together to achieve great results with results being measured in terms of the value they deliver to
customers. These parts are:
Strategic objectives provide the direction in which everyone within the organization should
head. They provide focus and ensure we are all working towards the same end.
Organizational structure this represents the form in which the organization will deliver its
services. The structure must support the strategy just as the strategy must have regard to the
structure. For instance, an on-line delivery strategy will not be successfully executed unless the
organization has on-line capabilities.
Business performance measures represent the measures by which each area of the
organization will be assessed. There is no single set of measures that may be applied across all
organizations. In order to be relevant and of use to the organization, the measures must be
determined in light of the organization's goals and the strategies put in place to achieve those
goals. It is this measurement process that will direct behavior more than any other system that
may be put in place. Further, the information must be easily obtainable - in a timely manner.

Informal review process
Walk through:
Method of conducting informal group/individual review is called walk through, in which a
designer or programmer leads members of the development team, testing team and other
interested parties through a software product, and the participants ask questions and make
comments about possible errors, violation of development standards, and other problems or may
suggest improvement on the article, walk through can be pre-planned or can be conducted at
need basis and generally people working on the work product are involved in the walk through
process.
The Purpose of walk through is to:

Find problems
Discuss alternative solutions
Focusing on demonstrating how work product meets all requirements.

Peer Review:
Peer review means that an action of an individual person may be looked at again by someone of
similar competence in that activity -a peer
40 | P a g e

More formally it is a process of self-regulation by a profession or a process of evaluation


involving qualified individuals within the relevant fields. Peer review methods are employed to
maintain standards, improve performance and provide credibility.

Feedback
Multinet is using formal performance feedback but ongoing, regular and informal feedback is
also carried out there. It is timely, specific and may help the individual receiving feedback
related to:

Whether or not they are achieving their goals.


What they are supposed to be achieving in their role i.e. why their role exists.
What they are currently doing well and what areas require improvement.
How they are impacting on others in the workplace.

Multi-net manager said "Feedback is the information we all need to be truly effective in the
workplace. In fact the most effective leaders actively seek feedback to enhance their
performance. These leaders intuitively recognize the power of feedback."
Coaching and training for underperformers
Here are three things which Multi-net does with an under performer:
Converse - Before address the issue of underperformance, manager finds out whats going on in
the employees life. Personal problems such as a sick child, a pending divorce or an ailing parent
will distract an employee from devoting full attention to work. If there is such a problem, and the
employee has a history of good performance, find a way to work around the issue. Those
employees are worth saving. Multinets is always taking care of such issues and consider

41 | P a g e

employees problems by doing so the employees consider themselves as a part of company an


eventually coaching helps to improve their motivation and performance.
Coach - Keep in mind that often employees under perform because they lack the necessary tools
and or training. Its the managers job to provide on-the-job coaching. The process is very
straightforward. In Multinet we discuss the issues so that the employee understands where hes
falling short. Ask him to devise solutions for improvement. Talk about those solutions and agree
on a timetable for improvement. And always hold the person accountable by following up.
Can - If theres no improvement (and outside issues are not relevant), then you must come to the
conclusion that the individual is not right for the job. He or she should be encouraged to find
another position for which he or she may be more qualified. In such case terminating an
employee is not a good option but to train such employee in better way is a good option. Trainers
at Multinet follow the same techniques and make the useless employees a useful asset.
For example
You require your employees to perform in a specific way, simply giving directions is the best
method, which saves both your and the employees time and energy. Maybe a chronic
underperformer isnt worth the time at all. However, in Multinet Mr. Zahid (Sales Coordinator)
is having 3 hrs training at the start of each month for the improvement of performance. As said
by one of the manager at Multinet that if you think coaching is actually the best approach, and
the employee is still resisting, the next course of action is to try to understand why.

42 | P a g e

Appraisal process, role of appraisals in rewards


The Performance Appraisal Process:
The Performance appraisal system used by Multinet for reviewing the performance status of its
employee starts with identifying specific appraisal goals set by each Group for each cadre. After
this a detail job analysis is done with looking in account the job expectation and then matching
the actual performance with the desired performance. Afterward the performance is appraised
according to the set standards and this appraisal is not done by the supervisor alone, their major
focus is on taking into the account the employees perspective as well. Therefore whenever the
appraisal is done employee is fully participative in the process.

Performance Appraisal Method Use by Multinet


Multinet is using 180-Degree Performance Appraisal Method. Within this method, managers,
peers, customers or colleagues are asked to complete questionnaire on the employee being
assessed. In Multinet performance of an employee is appraises twice a year. Once in June while
other in December.
In the questionnaire there are five sections and in each section there are five questions related to
the performance of employee. There are total 100 points from which an employee gets.

Rewards Related to Performance


There is also a reward related to performance of the employees. For Customer Facilitation
Agents there 50% pay is based on their performance which is assessing every month by their
managers. For other employees like in administration, engineering, finance, marketing, etc their
performance is assessed after every six and they get increased Rs.5000 in their salary as a
reward. In each case employee have to show consistent performance to win reward next time.

Critique on the companys performance management system

Companys Performance management system is not fully satisfactory.


They are using not the best latest techniques to get feedback from the employees.
Feedback is taken on the regular bases but delays are involved in it.
As being private organization there are sometimes issues of late payments of salaries to

the employees, as mentioned by one of the employees.


Appraisals are done at the end of the year, but sometimes biasness occurs as told by the

manager.
The compensation system should be equivalent to the other multinational and
international organizations working in Pakistan in the same field and industry.

In some ways staffing is not following Merit and Fair rather it is on Personnel
links and unfair means.

The employees at Multinet have lackness in motivation so the organization has to


set challenging tasks and jobs for them to make them active and energetic.

The compensation system is not equivalent to the other multinational and


international organizations working in Pakistan in the same field and industry.

Along with the domestic Trainers, Multinet has not hire External Trainers from
France, Germany, China, and Switzerland so their employees are not trained on
International standards and with modern Education and Technology.

44 | P a g e

Recommendations for any gaps identified


Multinet should implement numerous effective plans to improve the performance of its various
departments. Supervisors must manage employee performance well in order for Multinet to
accomplish its mission and achieve its goals. Following are some recommendations for Multinet,
which we personally feel can be useful for the organization, its employees and the customers.
Establishing and maintaining effective communications with each Employee not only requires
good oral and written communications Skills, but it also includes the ability to establish good
working Relationships. To communicate effectively with employees, Supervisors must establish
an environment that promotes an open Door atmosphere, the sharing of ideas, and employee
involvement in decision making processes.
Setting long and short-term goals with employees gives focus to Employee efforts. When goal
setting is done correctly, employees strive to accomplish those goals and feel confident in
achieving them. When goal setting is done poorly, work does not progress as desired. Knowing
how to set goals effectively is an important part of Performance management. To do this well,
supervisors need to be able to clarify expectations and to set realistic standards and targets.

Along with the domestic Trainers, Multinet will have to hire External Trainers from
France, Germany, China, and Switzerland so that they will able to train their employees

in Pakistan on International standards and with modern Education and Technology.


Matrices are not being used in an effective way in the Multinet. Because they are mostly
focusing I description of work and having feedback from the employees without using

the matrices.
We have identified gap in the Job Description of Regional Manager. We have found that
the job description does not match to the mission statement, as it is mentioned in the
mission statement that the markets should be served. But the job description is not having
elements of enhancing the market as this factor comes under the duty of regional

manager.
One of the Operational management competencies are not according to the designation,
which includes Maximizes staff utilization. This competency is not devices properly as it
requires more description because the staff utilization is the difficult task.

45 | P a g e

Develop business plan is not a good competency for the key account manager so; this is
irrelevant mentioned competency by the organization for this managers designation. It
should have other competencies because all available job descriptions for key account

manager do not match with this competency.


Develop an approach is mentioned as the competency for the Regional Manager by the
Multinet company but this must have been used as the job description. It should have
been the market surveys as the competency.

Employers also should take steps to increase their employees involvement and expertise
in planning and developing their own careers. One option here is to organize periodic
career planning workshops. A career planning workshop has been defined as a planned
learning event in which participants are expected to be actively involved, completing
career planning exercises and inventories and participating in career skills practice
sessions. It discusses what are career planning, self assessments, environmental
assessments, goal setting for self, and developing career action planning.
A career planning workbook may be distributed to employees either as part of a
workshop or as an independent career planning aid. This career planning workbook is a
printed guide that directs its users through a series of assessment exercises, models,
career directions, discussions, guidelines, auctioning planning and other information to
support career planning. It is usually self paced, so that the employees can complete the

exercise at their own pace.


Promotions in Multinet should be on the basis of achievements, skills, performances,
behavior, attributes, rather than on seniority. As one manager mentioned that this
practiced is usually takes place in an organization.

Comparison of both companies


How organization defines performance
PTCL

Focusing on individual as well as on the teams.


Performance appraisal is done yearly as well on regular bases.
Maximum better tools are used to improve performance of employees.

46 | P a g e

Multinet

Multinetsemployees is working in same direction to achieve better performance.


Represents different measures by which performance is measured.

PTCL is doing this fact better as this is old operational organization in Pakistan. They have faced
lot of challenges in their business and learned much by their experience that how to measure
performance.
Different Designations and Job Descriptions
PTCL

All the designations which we have selected are aligning to the mission statement of the
PTCL.

Multinet

One of the selected designations job descriptions is not aligning to the mission statement
of Multinet.

This shows that Multiunits Job descriptions are not such strongly build as the PTCLs are
described. PTCL is better in generating their designations job description according to the
mission statement of the organization in comparison to the Multinet.
Key Performance Indicators
Key performance indicators are approximately same in both the companies but Multinet is doing
good as they are using different matrices for measuring the performance of their employees. As
per the Key Performance Indicators the Multinet is new in the market as compared to PTCL but
they are doing better than PTCL.
Feedback
PTCL
Constructive and Positive feedback types are being used in PTCL for taking feedback from the
employees at different designations and according to them these techniques are useful. PTCL
also take feedback of their employees performance by calling their customers, by this way

47 | P a g e

PTCL can cross check the feedback of employees performance which is a very good approach
and reduces the chances of error.
Multinet
Multinet is focusing on the feedback as what is required by the employees in terms of their roles.
Are they achieving their roles or going along the same direction. Feedback is taken on the
regular bases and formal feedback is also taken on the end of each year.
PTCL is doing much better in the segment of feedback as they are using well defined and mix
approaches for taking feedback of the employees and also cross checking the feedback of
employees by getting in contact to the customers. By our analysis the PTCL is having nice
approaches to the feedback in comparison to the Multinet.
Coaching and training for underperformers
PTCL
In PTCL different approaches are used for the coaching and training of the employees, which
includes (Talk to the underperformers). In this method the one who is not performing well is
being considered by the senior manager and his problem is discussed. Other method is (Regular
Monitoring) of the employees which increases the performance of employees if not going
accordingly.

Multinet
Multinet also uses different techniques which may include (Converse, Coach and Can). In these
approaches employees are being encouraged and their motivation level is enhanced that they can
do better if they are not going accordingly.
Both companies are doing well in this segment because coaching techniques of PTCL and
Multinet are strong. But PTCL as being the large company or working on the vast level is
carrying out good. Reason is that it is difficult to maintain the level of motivation of employees
at such level. This is why in our analysis PTCL is better than Multinet in coaching.

48 | P a g e

Appraisal process
PTCL
Rating Scale is used in PTCL for the evaluation of the employees. Characteristics of employees
are being measured by using a bipolar scale that usually has several points ranging from "poor"
to "excellent". Managers in PTCL judge employees by rating them.
Multinet
In Multinet employees are being assessed on the bases of provided questionnaire to them, this
method is known as 180-degree appraisal method. Employees are checked whether they have
achieved their targets or not. Appraisal is given twice a year once in June and other is in
December.
Multinet appraisal system is better than the system used in the PTCL, reason is that the PTCL is
using rating system and managers rate them personally so there are chances that the biasness
may involve. On the other side the Multinbet is using method in which opinion of employees and
other managers are involved. By this way the appraisal system is good at Multinet.
