Performance Appraisal

1.1 INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY

Performance appraisal is the process of evaluating the performance and


qualification of the employees in terms of the administration including for promotion,
providing financial rewards and other placement, selection actions which require
differential treatment among the members of a group as distinguished from actions
affecting all members equally.
Definition:
Performance appraisal is the systematic evaluation of individual with respect to
his/her performance on the job and his/her potential for development.
Performance appraisal is the systematic description of employees job relevant
strength and weakness. The purpose is to find out how well the employee is performing
his job and establish a plan of improvement. Performance appraisal is arranged
periodically according to a definite plan. Performance appraisal is not job evaluation.
Performance appraisal refers to how well someone is doing the assigned job. Job
evaluation determines how much a job is worth to the organization and, therefore, what
range of pay should be assigned to the job.

Once the employee has been selected, trained and motivated, he is then appraised
for his performance. Performance appraisal is essential in escapable managerial activity for
enhancing organizational performance. It adminstrative and training and development
decisions and motivating employees.

A performance of a job in terms of its requirements observes, it is the process of


evaluating the performance of qualification of the employees in terms of the requirements
of the job to which he is employed for the purpose of administration including placement,
selection for promotions, providing finance rewards and other actions which require
differential treatment among the members of a group as distinguished from action affecting
all members equally.

Initially the appraisal system was started for the purpose of making administrative
decisions relating to promotions transfers and salary increments, however over the years
the performance appraisal system are being upon to serve a variety of purpose. They are,

Motivational purpose
Development purpose

Importance of performance appraisal:


Performance appraisal is an essential and inescapable managerial activity.
Appraisal is necessary for all important decisions relating to people, such as placement
and promotion, remuneration and reward, training and development, as well as long-term
man power planning and organization development. In recent years, efforts have been
made to use appraisal systems for motivation, for more effective communication, for
strengthening superior-subordinate relationships, for goal setting and work planning and
for improving the total performance of the organization. But in spite of its importance,
uneasiness about appraisal has been a long-standing feature of management. There is no
doubt during the past three decades, many developments have taken place and many
innovations, have been made in managerial appraisal system. Still, many issues remain
unresolved. Available literature on the subject reveals than even in the western countries,
where systematic appraisals have been widely practice over a much longer period than in
India and where a fair amount of empirical as well as theoretical research on the relevant
issues has been conducted, serious doubts continue to persist about various aspects of
appraisal.
In this present situation performance appraisal become important aspect for the
growth and development of the organisation. As beverages industries are recruiting their
employees day to day and providing the best remunerations and facilities, The student
researcher again tried to compare the theories available in the books, journals etc with the
practical implementation in that company. She revealed the situation and found that the
appraisa system adopted by the company was good and satisfactory among all the
employees. Further she quoted points and suggested few points for the development of
the employees.
1.2 NEED FOR THE STUDY
A very good system of performance appraisal system is neede by an organization
that wants to be dynamic and growth oriented. It is to be remember that the employee

subordinate. A good appraisal system is the best requirement to bring up the organization
and its productivity.
Any organization is having a very good system of performance appraisal system
because it has laid its own philosophy and well planned procedure in rating the employees
which is very important for the development of both individual and organization.
Management is also providing all the requirements of the employees for the
completion of the work and even the system constitute goal setting, periodic reviews,
feedback and consequence management, and finnaly rating is given as per this reviews.
The employee assessment has been done by the system of appraisal by the
superior and have the final authority for the rating. Here the employees are given chance
for their individual development. The action is taken according to the ratings of appraised

2.2 FINANCIAL FUNCTIONS

Finance department
21
Performance Appraisal

A finance manager heads the finance department. This is a very powerful post
in the company and the finance department. This is a very powerful post in the company
and the finance manager is the second in command of the unit. The entire plant and
operations keep him abreast of their daily functioning, while the AGM mainly attends to
the sales functions.
Sources of finance
The finance to the company comes from corporate office and financial
institution abroad. The units which have been set up in India are subsidiary concerns of
group. These units mobilize their own funds and pay lumps amount to the corporate group
for getting technology and the product specification to be manufactured in the company,
for which the formulation comes from the office situated abroad. The finance department
can be broadly segmented into two, the accounting sections and the payables or
receivables i.e., working capital. In addition to these sections like stores, shipping,
purchase, administration in unit level regional office. The finance manager makes
allocations for the different department in consultant heads
Stores

used for production are under the stores in charge once they enter the company premises.
This includes raw material, other material etc. The stores department reports to the

Matters like recruitment, selection. Wage structure, etc is decided at office.


The respective department heads sanction leaves for the staff. The department is
conducting training programs in computers and spoken English to better equip its people
to handle the change the organization is under going.
Financial Structure

Any company to start and operate its business has to invest its capital in fixed
assets and floating assets and also in meeting the daily requirements of the company.
However, depending on the nature of the business and the product being offered by the
company the ratio of the investment of capital in fixed and floating assets differ.

2.3 H R FUNCTIONS

Human Resource Management is an essential part for any organization.


Moreover, development of this department is the first step, the ground on which the future
of the company depends. It is essential for every single business unit and especially for
such international company. It is people, not technology who create the company. Human
Resource Management at Company has many advantages. It is the global company and it
is impossible to create certain policies or procedures applicable in all divisions of the
company, cultural and political differences need to be taken into account. Therefore, the
focus of this paper will be on four tasks and duties of Human Resource Management
(performance management, compensation, career development, succession planning)
based on the United States procedures.

Basically the HRM practices are necessary for every organization. But
unfortunately in Pakistan not so much used HRM practices. In multinational companies
have their own separate department of HRM

Every organization has its own policies and strategies by which they control the
functions of their departments. Similarly, we also have own policies and strategies by
which we control all the functions of our departments. HR department is also conducting
all the practices of HRM like Job analysis and design of work ,recruitment and selection,
training and development, performance appraisals, compensation, employee relationships,
staff welfare and medical policies and some other things like that. These all practices are
23
Performance Appraisal

conducted by own policies and strategies. HR department not make decisions related of its
own department, they also conduct in companys decision.

Job analysis and designing


Job analysis is the procedure for determining the duties and skill requirements of
a job and the kind of person who should be hire for it. Job analysis consists of two
products one is job description and second job specification.
Job description: A list of job duties, responsibilities, reporting relationship,
working conditions, and supervisory responsibilities- one product of a job.
Job specification: A list of a jobs human requirements that is requisites
education, skills, personality, and so on-other product of a job analysis.
HR department check its own job description and job analysis in which they get the
information about employees work activities, human behavior, performance standard, job
context and human requirements and also other information related to this conduct.
HR department used this information for Recruiting, selection, compensation,
performance appraisal, training, and employees relationship.
Planning and Forecasting
The process of deciding what positions the firm will have to fill, and how to fill them
HR department involves in company strategic planning and they also make sufficient
planning for hiring new employees in the future. We forecast for the expected employees
needs in the organization. We forecast of employees on the change technology and
increasing in productivity.
After planning we send this report to the head office for approval. If we get
approval from the head office then we start recruitment process.

Our recruitment process

24
Performance Appraisal

Our recruitment process is well established first of all we give ads in news papers,
company website, institutions etc. Once we receive an application form, from candidates
with required documents and CV.
Internal recruitment
External recruitment

Selection process
The selection process will vary depending on the position youre applying for, as
one process cant fit all the different roles we have here at CCE. However, in most cases a
combination of any of the following tools will be used:
Interview
Group exercises
Presentations
Psychometric tests
Role plays/Situational Exercises
Interview
The interview is designed to reveal more about you and your experiences. Well ask
for examples of how you behaved in different situations, maybe at school, university, a
club, at home or in previous jobs. This is not designed to 'catch you out' and our
interviewers will never try and trick you into an answer. Be honest, be yourself and it
should be an enjoyable experience.
Also, dont forget that this is your chance to find out more about us and ask
questions. Remember, interviews are a two-way process so use it to understand the
nature of the role and to make sure it really is what youre looking for.

Group exercises
Were very much a team at CCE so these will show us how effectively you work
with people. Theyre a good opportunity for us to see how you communicate, influence and
involve other people in the workplace.

25
Performance Appraisal

Presentations give you the chance to show your ability to communicate to a


group of people on a specific topic. You may be given a topic in advance or on the day, but
dont worry youll have plenty of time to prepare.

Psychometric tests

Psychometric tests are timed exercises that examine your abilities and
potential. On occasions, we may also use a personality assessment tool that is designed to
find out more specific things about you. If youre asked to complete a psychometric test,
well send you information and advice in advance on how to prepare.

Role Plays/Situational Exercises

Designed to assess how you react in certain situations, these help to


highlight particular skills and how well youre suited for a position. You may be given facts
and figures to review, or a report to complete; we may also have an assessor acting as a
customer or employee to simulate a situation that could occur in the workplace. Dont
worry, youll be given a brief and ample time to prepare.

Training process of employees

Training process is essential part of every employee without training,


employee cannot come to now the procedure of work, rules and regulations of firm,
sometimes when new technology is introduced it is also responsibility of a firm to train its
employees.

After recruiting the fresh employee we train them for three months and also
pay them salaries after three months they become part of a firm.

We also give training to already exist employee it depend upon condition for
example if new technology is introduced first of all we give full training to them about new
technology then we allow them to start their job.

26
Performance Appraisal

Performance appraisal

HR appraise the employee due to their performance about goals of the


organization. HR set the goals started the year and tell the employees about the goal if
the employees achieve this goal HR appraise the employees.

Compensation and benefits


Objective of compensation is our compensation objective is to improve
performance of employees and convey a message to employees that company is loyal with
employees.

HR department manage says that employees are our assets, there for we
are careful about their health and benefits. We give following compensation and benefits:

Basic salary
Bonus
Medical facility
Pick and drop
Gratuity fund
Social security

We get many advantages from our employees because they are happy
from company. Our employees are satisfy from our compensation and never downsizing
occurred which shows that well relationship between employees and company.

EMPLOYEES RELATIONSHIP

Employees are the most important assets of every company so it is very


important to give them importance. The satisfaction of the employees makes the company
successful. The reason is that if the employees of the company are satisfied then they will
work hard for the development of the company but if they are not satisfied with the
companys policies and they are not given their rights then they will leave the company

27
Performance Appraisal

which can turn into a big loss. So employees relationship is very important for every
company.

Every company has its own policy. We have also got our own policy by
which we give importance to our employees if any employee faces some kind of problem
related to his life or work then he can directly go to the manager and he can share all of
his problems. This thing should be adopted by every company because this makes the
employee satisfied with the company.

We believe that an open door policy is the best policy for employees
relations because due to this, our employees feel very independent and they know that if
they get any problem, they can contact directly to the manager of their department. So
we strongly believe that such policy makes our employees satisfy with us.

Safety Policy

We at office are committed to ensure the maximum level of safety and


prevention of loss for our employees, assets and visitors. We believe in the involvement of
each and every one of us in this effort and realize the importance of every individuals
contribution to safety. We strive for continuous improvement in our safety standards and
to the consistently meet or exceed them. We therefore, will make certain that the
necessary financial and personnel resources are made available in order to continuously
improve our safety standards. With this belief we vow to.

Set our safety standard at a level that ensures compliance with


governmental and company requirements. Protect our employees and ensure public safety
extending throughout our organization.

Integrate sound safety practices in to our daily business operation even in


the absence of specific regulatory requirements use the results of research and new
technology to minimizing the safety risks of our operations equipment, products and
packages taking in to account the associate costs or profit for each safety benefits.

28
Performance Appraisal

Ensure each and every one to use in responsible and accountable for our
actions. Establish mechanisms to communicate effectively with employees Consumers and

Marketing mix

identified a no of company performance action that can influence the consumer decision to
purchase goods or services. Borden suggested that all those actions of the company
represented a marketing mix. Professor e. Jerome mc carthy, also at the Harvard
business school in the early 1960s, suggested that the marketing mix contained four
elements: product, price, place, and promotion.

In popular usage marketing is the promotion of products especially advertising


and branding. However in professional usage the term as a wider meaning, which
recognize the marketing is customer cantered. Products often developed to meet the
desires of groups of customers or event, in some cases for specific customers.

The four ps are


The product aspects of marketing deal with the specification of the actual
goods or services and how it relates to the end user needs and wants. The scope of a
product generally includes supporting elements such as warranties, guarantees, and
support.

Price: this refers to the process of setting, a price for a product, including discounts. The
price need not be monetary- it can simply be what exchanged for the product or services

Promotion: this includes advertising, sales promotion, publicity, and personal selling,
branding and refers to the various methods of product, brand, or company,

Place (or distribution): refers to how the product gets to the customer; for example,
point of sale placement or retailing this fourth p generally to the channel by which a
product segment (young adults, families, business people), etc.

can use to craft a marketing plan.

Performance Appraisal

The owners of a limited company are referred to as its members, or


shareholders. An individual can become an owner of the business by purchasing shares in
that business. When the profits of the business are distributed to shareholders, they are
distributed in the form of a dividend. The value of the dividend is decided upon not by the
owners, but by the Directors of the business.

Some shareholders had invested their life savings and not only lost their
money, but their homes, limited liability was designed to protect shareholders from this
mistake, but the key motive was to ensure that large projects could continue to raise
capital.

production cycle is speedier up. Since the company follows a continuous movement, the
cost of material handling goes low. The total floor space required by the machine is less
than for other types of plant lay-outs.

PRODUCTION SCHEDULE

The production schedule is fixed by taking into consideration the present or


current market demand, the availability of empty bottles and also the inventory position of

THEORETICAL REVIEW

38
Performance Appraisal

3.1 INTRODUCTION TO PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL


Appraising the performance of individuals, groups and organizations are a common
practice of all societies. In some instances these appraisal processes are structured and
formally sanctioned, in other instances they are an informal and integral part of daily
activities. Teachers evaluate the performance of students, bankers evaluate the
performance of creditors, parents evaluate the behavior of their children and all of us,
consciously or unconsciously evaluate our own actions from time to time. In social
interactions, performance is conducted in a systematic and planned manner to achieve
widespread popularity in recent years.
Performance appraisal is the process of 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.
Definition
According to Flippo, a prominent personality in the field of Human resources,
"performance appraisal is the systematic, periodic and an impartial rating of an employees
excellence in the matters pertaining to his present job and his potential for a better job."
Performance appraisal is a systematic way of reviewing and assessing the performance of
an employee during a given period of time and planning for his future
Performance appraisal is the systematic description of employees job relevant strength
and weakness. The purpose is to find out how well the employee is performing his job and
establish a plan of improvement. Performance appraisal is arranged periodically according
to a definite plan. Performance appraisal is not job evaluation. Performance appraisal
refers to how well someone is doing the assigned job. Job evaluation determines how
much a job is worth to the organization and, therefore, what range of pay should be
assigned to the job.
3.2 History of Performance Appraisal
Its roots in the early 20th centuary can be traced to taylors pioneering time and
motion studies as a distinct and formal management procedure used in the evaluation of
work performance, appraisal really dates from the time of the second world war- not more
than 60 years ago.
39
Performance Appraisal

Performance appraisal systems began as simple methods of income


justification.that is, appraisal was used to decide whether or not salary or wageof an
individual employee was justified.
The process was firmly linke to material outcomes.if an employees performance
was found to be less than ideal, a cut in a pay would follow. On the other hand, if their
performance wasbetter than the supervisor expected, a pay rise was in order. Little
consideration was given to the developmental possibilities of an appraisal, it was felt that
a cut in pay, or a rise, should provide the only required impetus for an employee to either
improve or continue to perform well.
It was felt that employees with roughly equal work abilities could be provided with
same amount of money, but they had different levels of morale, motivation &
performance. So basically the payment structure was focused on the amount of work
rather than the outcome. Morale and self-esteem was the issue which had a major impact
on the performance of different individuals.
As a result, the traditional emphasis on reward outcomes was progressively
rejected. In the 1950s in the United States, the potential usefulness of appraisal as tool
for motivation and development was gradually recognized. The general model of the
performance appraisal, as it is known today, began from that time.
3.3 Objectives of Performance appraisal

To review the performance of the employees over a given period of time.


To judge the gap between the actual and the desired performance.
To help the management in exercising organizational control.
Helps to strengthen the relationship and communication between superior
subordinates and management employees.
To diagnose the strengths and weaknesses of the individuals so as to identify the
training and development needs of the future.
To provide feedback to the employees regarding their past performance.
Provide information to assist in the other personal decisions in the organization.
Provide clarity of the expectations and responsibilities of the functions to be
performed by the employees.
40
Performance Appraisal

To judge the effectiveness of the other human resource functions of the


organization such as recruitment, selection, training and development.
To reduce the grievances of the employees
3.4 Purpose of performance appraisal
1 To create and maintain a satisfactory level of performance
2 To provide fed back.
3 To plan career goals of employees to identify career potential.
4 To provide important data base for management.
5 To fair and equitable compensation based on performance.
6 To identify training & development programmes.
7 To help in promotional decisions.
8 Contribute to employees personal growth and development.
3.5 IMPORTANCE OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
Performance appraisal is an essential and inescapable managerial activity. Appraisal
is necessary for all important decisions relating to people, such as placement and
promotion, remuneration and reward, training and development, as well as long-term man
power planning and organization development. In recent years, efforts have been made to
use appraisal systems for motivation, for more effective communication, for strengthening
superior-subordinate relationships, for goal setting and work planning and for improving
the total performance of the organization. But in spite of its importance, uneasiness about
appraisal has been a long-standing feature of management. There is no doubt during the
past three decades, many developments have taken place and many innovations, have
been made in managerial appraisal system. Still, many issues remain
unresolved. Available literature on the subject reveals than even in the western countries,
where systematic appraisals have been widely practice over a much longer period than in
India and where a fair amount of empirical as well as theoretical research on the relevant
issues has been conducted, serious doubts continue to persist about various aspects of
appraisal.
3.6 Approaches to Performance Development
Performance appraisal - Traditional approach
Traditionally, performance appraisal has been used as just a method for

41
Performance Appraisal

determining and justifying the salaries of the employees. Than it began to be used a tool
for determining rewards (a rise in the pay) and punishments (a cut in the pay) for the past
performance of the employees.
This approach was a past oriented approach which focused only on the past
performance of the employees i.e. during a past specified period of time. This approach
did not consider the developmental aspects of the employee performance i.e. his training
and development needs or career developmental possibilities. The primary concern of the
traditional approach is to judge the performance of the organization as a whole by the
past performances of its employees.
Therefore, this approach is also called as the overall approach. In 1950s the
performance appraisal was recognized as a complete system in itself and the Modern
Approach to performance appraisal was developed.
Performance appraisal - Modern approach
The modern approach to performance development has made the performance
appraisal process more formal and structured. Now, the performance appraisal is taken as
a tool to identify better performing employees from others, employees training needs,
career development paths, rewards and bonuses and their promotions to the next levels.
Appraisals have become a continuous and periodic activity in the organizations. The
results of performance appraisals are used to take various other HR decisions like
promotions, demotions, transfers, training and development, reward outcomes. The
modern approach to performance appraisals includes a feedback process that helps to
strengthen the relationships between superiors and subordinates and improve
communication throughout the organization.

Performance Appraisal

7. Essay method
8. Behaviorally anchored method
Traditional Methods
1. Rating scales
This is the simplest and most popular technique for appraising employee
performance. The typical rating system consists of several numerical scales, each
representing a job related performance criterion such as dependability initiative,
output, attendance, attitude, co-operation, and the appropriate performance level
on each criterion, and then computes the employees total numerical score. The
number of points scored may be linked to salary increases, whereby so many
points equal a rise of some percentage.
2. Checklist
A checklist of statements on the traits of the employee and his/her job is
prepared in two columns via, a yes column and a No column. All that rater should do
is tick the yes column if the answer to the statement is positive and in column No if
the answer is negative. After Ticking off against each item, the rater forwards the list.
To the HR department where the actual assessment of the employee takes place. The
HR department assigns certain points to each Yes the total score is arrived at. When
points are allotted to the checklist, the technique becomes a weighed checklist.
2. Forced choice method
This approach is known as the forced choice method because the rater is
forced to select the statements, which are readymade. The rater is given a series of
statements about an employee. These statements are arranged in block of two or
more, and the rater indicates, which statement is most or least descriptive of the
employee. As in the checklist method, the rater is simply expected to select the
statements that describe the rate. The HR department does the actual assessment.
3. Forced distribution method
The forced distribution method seeks to overcome the problem by compelling the
rate to distribute the rates on all points on the rating scale. The second method
operated under an assumption that the employee performance level conforms to a
normal statistical distribution. It is assumed that employee performance levels

43
Performance Appraisal

conform to a bell-shaped curve. For example, 10% at the top end of the scale is
excellent, 20% good, 40% average, 20% of the lowest grade is below average.

4. Critical incidents method


The approach focuses on certain critical behaviors of an employee that
make all the difference between effective and non-effective performance of a job.
The superiors as and when they occur record such incidents.
5. Performance tests and observations
With a limited number of jobs, employee assessment may be based upon a
test of knowledge or an actual demonstration of skills. The test must be reliable
and validated to be useful. Even then, performance tests are apt to measure
potential more than actual performance.
6. Essay method
Under this method the supervisor makes a free form, open ended appraisal
of an employee in his own words and puts down his impressions about his
impressions about the employee. The description is always as factual and concrete
as possible. No attempt is made to evaluate an employee in a quantitative manner.
The strength or the
The essay method depends on the writing skills and analytical ability of the
rater. The Essay method can consume much time because the rater must collect the
information necessary to develop the essay and then he/she must write it.
8. Behaviorally anchored rating scales
Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales (BARS) is a relatively new technique which
combines the graphic rating scale and critical incidents method. It consists of
predetermined critical areas of job performance or sets of behavioral statements
describing important job performance qualities as good or bad (for eg. the qualities like
inter personal relationships, adaptability and reliability, job knowledge etc). These
statements are developed from critical incidents.
In this method, an employees actual job behavior is judged against the desired
behavior by recording and comparing the behavior with BARS. Developing and practicing
BARS requires expert knowledge.

44
Performance Appraisal

MODERN METHODS
1. Management by Objectives (MBO)
The MBO concept as was conceived by Mr. Drucker reflects a management
philosophy that stress goals rather than methods and which values and utilizes employee
contribution. It is result oriented. Application of MBO in the field of performance appraisal
in four steps:

A. To establish the goals each subordinate is to attain. The goals typically refer to
the desired outcome to be achieved; these goals can then by used to evaluate
employee performance.
B. Setting the performance standard for the subordinated in a previously
arranged time period. As subordinates perform they know fairly well there is
to do, what has been done, and what remains to be done.
C. The actual level of goal attainment is compared with the goals that were not
met upon. The evaluator explores reasons for the goals that were not met and
for the goals that were exceeded. This step helps determine possible training
needs.
D. Establishing new goals and, possibly, new strategies for goals not previously
attained. Subordinates who successfully reach the established goals may be
allowed to participate more in the goal setting process the next time. The
process is repeated.
2. 360 degree appraisal
The 360- degree technique is understood as systematic collection of performance
data on an individual or group, derived from a number of stakeholders. The stakeholders
being the immediate supervisors, team members, customers, peers, and self. Anyone who
has useful information on how an employee does the job may be one of the appraisers. It
facilitates greater self development of the employee. It enables an employee to compare
his/her perceptions about self with perceptions of others. By design, the 360 degree

45
Performance Appraisal

appraisal is effective in identifying and measuring interpersonal skills, customer


satisfaction, and team building skills.

3. Assessment centers
An assessment centre is a central location where managers may come together to
have their participation in job related exercises evaluated by trained observers. The
principle idea is to evaluate managers over a period of time, say one to three days, by
observing their behavior across a series of select exercises or work samples. Assesses are
requested to participate in in-nascent exercise work groups(with leaders), role playing,
and other similar activities, which require the same attributes for successful performance,
as in actual job. Self appraisal and peer evaluation are also throwing in for final rating. The
characteristics assessed in a typical assessment centre include assertiveness, persuasive
ability, communicating ability, planning and organization ability, self confidence, resistance
to stress, energy level, decision making, sensitivity to the feeling of others, administrative
ability, creativity, and mental alertness.
3.7 THE APPRAISAL PROCESS
The appraisal process begins with the establishment of performance standards;
these should have evolved out of job analysis and the job description.

46
Performance Appraisal

STEPS IN APPRAISAL PROCESS

1. Establishing Performance Standards


The first step in the process of performance appraisal is the setting up of the
standards which will be used to as the base to compare the actual performance of the
employees. This step requires setting the criteria to judge the performance of the
employees as successful or unsuccessful and the degrees of their contribution to the
organizational goals and objectives. The standards set should be clear, easily
understandable and in measurable terms. In case the performance of the employee
cannot be measured, great care should be taken to describe the standards.

47
Performance Appraisal

2. Communicating the Standards


Once set, it is the responsibility of the management to communicate the standards
to all the employees of the organization.
The employees should be informed and the standards should be clearly explained to the.
This will help them to understand their roles and to know what exactly is expected from
them. The standards should also be communicated to the appraisers or the evaluators and
if required, the standards can also be modified at this stage itself according to the relevant
feedback from the employees or the evaluators.
3. Measuring the Actual Performance
The most difficult part of the Performance appraisal process is measuring the actual
performance of the employees that is the work done by the employees during the
specified period of time. It is a continuous process which involves monitoring the
performance throughout the year. This stage requires the careful selection of the
appropriate techniques of measurement, taking care that personal bias does not affect the
outcome of the process and providing assistance rather than interfering in an employees
work.
4. Comparing the Actual With the Desired Performance
The actual performance is compared with the desired or the standard performance.
The comparison tells the deviations in the performance of the employees from the
standards set. The result can show the actual performance being more than the desired
performance or, the actual performance being less than the desired performance depicting
a negative deviation in the organizational performance. It includes recalling, evaluating
and analysis of data related to the employees performance.
5. Discussing Results
The result of the appraisal is communicated and discussed with the employees on
one-to-one basis. The focus of this discussion is on communication and listening. The
results, the problems and the possible solutions are discussed with the aim of problem
solving and reaching consensus. The feedback should be given with a positive attitude as
this can have an effect on the employees future performance. The purpose of the meeting
should be to solve the problems faced and motivate the employees to perform better.
6. Decision Making
The last step of the process is to take decisions which can be taken either to
48
Performance Appraisal

improve the performance of the employees, take the required corrective actions, or the
related HR decisions like rewards, promotions, demotions, transfers etc.
3.8 CHALLENGES OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
An organization comes across various problems and challenges Of Performance
Appraisal in order to make a performance appraisal system effective and successful. The
main Performance Appraisal challenges involved in the performance appraisal process are:
Determining the evaluation criteria
Identification of the appraisal criteria is one of the biggest problems faced by the
top management. The performance data to be considered for evaluation should be
carefully selected. For the purpose of evaluation, the criteria selected should be in
quantifiable or measurable terms
Create a rating instrument
The purpose of the Performance appraisal process is to judge the performance of
the employees rather than the employee. The focus of the system should be on the
development of the employees of the organization.
Lack of competence
Top management should choose the raters or the evaluators carefully. They should
have the required expertise and the knowledge to decide the criteria accurately. They
should have the experience and the necessary training to carry out the appraisal process
objectively.
Errors in rating and evaluation
Many errors based on the personal bias like stereotyping, halo effect (i.e. one trait
influencing the evaluators rating for all other traits) etc. may creep in the appraisal
process. Therefore the rater should exercise objectivity and fairness in evaluating and
rating the performance of the employees.
Resistance
The appraisal process may face resistance from the employees and the trade
unions for the fear of negative ratings. Therefore, the employees should be communicated
and clearly explained the purpose as well the process of appraisal. The standards should
be clearly communicated and every employee should be made aware that what exactly is
expected from him/her.

49
Performance Appraisal

ADVANTAGES OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL:

If not done right can be a complete waste of time.
Can be stressful for all involved.

3.9 PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEM IN ORGANIZATION

A performance appraisal system plays a vital role in every organization.


Manpower requirements are to be established far beyond the actual requirements. The
present study includes the performance appraisal systems carries out by

function
To increase mutuality between employees and their supervisors so that every
employee feels happy to work with their supervisor and thereby contributes their
maximum to the organization
Supervisors. In this way, each employee gets to know the expectations of their
superior, and each superior also gets to know the difficulties of their subordinates
and can try to solve them. Together, they can thus better accomplish their tasks
To provide an opportunity to each employee for self-reflection and individual goal-
setting, so that individually planned and monitored development takes place
To help employees internalize the culture, norms and values of the organization,
thus developing an identity and commitment throughout the organization

To be instrumental in creating a positive and healthy climate in the organization
that drives employees to give their best while enjoying doing so; and
To assist in a variety of personnel decisions by periodically generating data
regarding each employee.

An ORGANIZATION has its considerable and conscience full ethics towards the
employees and their appraisal system. In this regard ORGANIZATION has
developed a very good system of performance appraisal system with remarkable
constraints like periodic review, a specific appraisal form and many..

QUALITY: ORGANIZATIONs dedication is completely towards achieving high levels of


quality in everything they do to delight customers, internal and external, every time. And
even RESPECT FOR INDIVIDUAL:

It upholds the self esteem and dignity of each other by creating an open culture
conductive for expression of views and ideas irrespective of hierarchy.

HARMONY AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY:

ORGANIZATION take utmost care to protect our natural environment and serve the
communities in which we live and work.
51
Performance Appraisal

Key process of appraisal:

Performance planning/goal setting

Performance review-periodic review

Consequence management

Performance planning/goal setting:

Once the business/functional plan is frozen, the superior and the employee should meet to
clarify expectations from their key customers/stakeholders and each other. This input
should be converted into performance goals to be met during the review period.

The goals articulated are not merely a routine set of activities, but ideally should result in
value creation for the organization through either continuously improving or reducing gap in
the existing products, processes and services. To improve organizational performance. The
goals must necessarily incorporate performance stretch i.e., they need to be significantly
higher than the goals of the previous year.

Measurement criteria are for tracking performance against the goals. The
superior/employee are free to freeze the criteria as relevant to their nature of work.
Possible criteria may be quantity (tones produced, units sold), quality, cost, time and
human relations.

The goals can be added/deleted/modified with mutual consent in response to changing


business priorities.

Performance review-periodic review:

HCCBPL follows an performance appraisal form for the purpose of periodic review over the
employee performance which is done periodically by the superior and the form includes:

1) Attributes

2) Overall assessment

Attributes:

52
Performance Appraisal

In this section, the attributes of the employees like job knowledge, Quality of work, Target
achievement, Interpersonal relations, punctuality, integrity & loyalty of organization,
Physical stability, leadership & communication skills are observed and measured with
specified ratings to each employee.
Overall assessment:
Based on the ratings from attributes section and even other constraints the employees is
given with final result of review which results in the decisions of training/development
programs, promotions and even other incentives.
Consequence management:

This is the final part of appraisal process. This is done based on the results of review and
even the appraised employee i.e., his/her feedback. It includes if appraised positively-
rewards and recognition,

If appraised negatively- mentoring, counseling, coaching

The top management and HR manager facilitate this process

Data analysis and interpretation refers to how the collected from the different
sources and how it is interpreted. The data collected from the primary sources and
secondary sources.
The Primary data are those which are collected afresh and for the first time, and
thus happen to be original in character. The tools for collecting this primary data are by
two types namely Interview Method and Questionnaire Method.
The Secondary data are those which have already been collected by someone else
and which have already been passed through the statistical process in the company.
For collecting the data the sample size taken in the survey is only 70 respondents.
Because lack of time. The technique used for collecting the data is simple random
sampling technique. The statistical tools used in survey are bar charts, pie charts and
tables.

5.4 CONCLUSION

At lastly I would like to draw my conclusion in this topic performance appraisal


system. It is one of the crucial issues where employees expect good results which lead to
high satisfaction.
This appraisal even acts as a feedback system, which plays a major role in the
development of the organization through erasing the communication barriers between the
superior and the subordinate. In the present scenario system brings up the organization
with rich productivity.
A good system of performance appraisal comes out through perfect rating of the
employees and their feedback for the given rating. The system should work so the things
to be done through the people.
Any Organization occupied a prominent position in the industry in its products and it
has been achieving its objectives despite of obstacles faced and stood at a good position
with a perfect vision.
The employees of Any Organization are satisfied with the system of appraisal followed
there, because of its concern and consideration towards the employees by the
management.
Finally I conclude my topic performance appraisal , the work and the related issues
were drastically changed when compared to the past.
Performance appraisal is a sensitive issue because it not only appraisal for the
achievers but also punishments and warnings to the low contributors. Everything done by
the organization should be accepted the employees and even make the perceive that it is
done for the good sake of employees. This factor is quite crucial for any organization to
achieve its objectives.
