Performance Appraisal System
Over the past two days, bankers present in this Conclave have been discussing on how to enhance employee performance.
4
Performance Appraisal System
In the context of employee performance one FQA is whether the current performance measurement models are adequate for the Indian Banking System.
If not, what changes are required?
5
Performance Appraisal System
I would like to limit my presentation to the situations prevailing in public sector banks.
6
Performance Appraisal System
Although Indian Banking has come off age in recent times, human resource management continues to remain a neglected one.
The role of Human Resource Managers remain limited to fire fighting.
7
Performance Appraisal System
Areas like capability assessment, including capability gaps and training needs, placement of right people in the right places, career plan, employee motivation etc. are areas receiving scant or no attention.
8
Performance Appraisal System
Most HR Managers go through the performance appraisal in a rather mechanical way and treat them as they treat the plethora of statements that are prepared by banks for submission to various authorities.
9
Performance Appraisal System
Presently HR Manager in banks, if there are any, are clearly not in the know-how of what all uses a performance appraisal, if done in a scientific way, can be put to.
10
Performance Appraisal System
Presently in most banks, employees are required to submit their performance appraisal only when a promotion process is undertaken.
11
Performance Appraisal System
Only a few banks have put in place mechanisms to identify key responsibility areas for the purpose of designing their performance appraisal forms.
Target setting is virtually non-existent.
12
Performance Appraisal System
The aims and objectives of the organisation, the contribution of individuals/the departments towards these objectives are certain key elements missing in the present day performance appraisal systems.
13
Performance Appraisal System
The process takes a bottom-up approach with virtually no interaction between the appraisee and the appraiser.
A critical assessment of the appraisee and review of the performance over a reporting period are virtually non-existent.
14
Performance Appraisal System
As a result the employee’s development suffers and valuable human resources wasted.
15
Performance Appraisal System
Nowadays various tools are available for evaluating employee performance.
Some organisations have even taken to 360 degree evaluation techniques.
16
Performance Appraisal System
Till such time managing human resources gives way to Human Resource Management in banks, performance management systems including 360 degree evaluation techniques shall remain a distant dream.
17
Performance Appraisal System
If only banks are to tweak the performance appraisal systems they have to make it a more meaningful one thereby contributing to the development of the individual and the organisation as a whole, they will be taking a giant step forward.
18
Performance Appraisal System
It is in this context that one should look at revamping the performance appraisal systems in public sector banks.
As a first step of course, one should be clear as to what purposes it should serve.
19
Performance Appraisal System
In general a performance appraisal system should serve as a tool for work- performance judgemental and provide a basis for reward allocation (none at present in public sector banks), promotions, transfers, lay-offs etc.
20
Performance Appraisal System
It should help the organisations to identify high potential employees’ developmental, fostering work improvement, identifying training and development opportunities and develop ways to overcome obstacles and barriers.
21
Performance Appraisal System
It should serve as a medium for translating organisational goals into individual job objectives, communicating expectations regarding employee performance.
22
Performance Appraisal System
It should provide for a two-way communication between the employee and the supervisor and help diagnose strengths and weaknesses thereby enabling a development plan for improving job performance.
23
Performance Appraisal System
It should define and analyse the behavioral aspects of performance.
It should also serve as a medium for employee introspection.
24
Performance Appraisal System.)
A well designed performance appraisal should give employees answers to questions such as –
What am I expected to do How well am I doing What are my strengths and weaknesses How can I do a better job and How can I contribute more towards the organisational goal.
25
Performance Appraisal System
A performance appraisal system often fails because –• Managers often resist either passively or actively.• have limited contact with subordinates and are poor at giving feedback• subordinates are poor at receiving feedback
26
Performance Appraisal System
• viewed as a wasted paper work especially if nothing comes out of their effort.
• Managers fear the emotion that can be unleashed.• Managers fear not being able to defend
the rating.
27
Performance Appraisal System
Keys for designing an effective performance appraisal system
Provide for rater and ratee participation in the designing process.
Aim for simplicity, fairness, objectivity, openness, usefulness. Aim to be inclusive of all behavior and
results that should be performed.
28
Performance Appraisal System While designing, address questions
such as –
What is the purpose? What is the supervisor’s attitude
towards performance appraisal? What are the appropriate job criteria? Who should conduct the appraisal? When they should occur; and How often should they occur?
29
Performance Appraisal System
The performance appraisal forms need to be
job related as simple as possible easy to administer valid and reliable enable individuals to influence
measures
30
Performance Appraisal System
What Performance Appraisal should deliver
• Evaluate goals• Provide feedback to the appraisee• Develop valid data for pay and promotion
decisions• Provide means of putting subordinates
on notice about unsatisfactory performance.
31
Performance Appraisal System
• Enable coaching and developmental goals.• Develop contacts through discussions with
subordinates.• Motivate subordinates through recognition
and support.• Strengthen supervisor-subordinate relation.• Diagnose individual and organisational
problems.
