PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

The objective of the Performance Appraisal process rests on the all important points of

human resource & is the sustenance for an organisation’s well being and growth from this

premise. The Performance Appraisal process seeks to enrich and develop individual to

his/her fullest potential to contribute to the organisation and thereby, maximising his/her

professional satisfaction.

As a natural consequence, the performance appraisal process will also assist in -

a) Providing clarity on the organisation’s expectation of each role

b) Providing a formal forum for the individuals to frankly and objectively

discuss aspects related to performance and job satisfaction.

c) Identifying individuals who are sub-optimally utilised which could result in

responsibilities or higher commitments.

d) Increment, Promotion, future growth profile

e) Identifying training and development needs of individuals; and

f) Sharing the values of the organisation.

In a nutshell, performance appraisal is the process to improve the quality resources.

However, it needs to be highlighted that training and development cannot be a one time

exercise - it is a continuous process. As members of the organisation, each individual is

committed to constantly develop himself and his subordinates in the overall growth of the

organisation. Therefore, Performance Appraisal done is a formal summation and review of

this vital process.

This, therefore, means that only the routine increment is not linked to Performance

Appraisal. However, the exercise will highlight exceptional performance, positively or

negatively recommend means to sustain or correct such exceptional performance, as there

be. To reiterate, the exercise will not only be conducted to locate exceptional performance

but the same will be a by-product.

- 48 -

Page 49: Final Welspun

DETAIL STUDY OF HR POLICY OF WELSPUN

The process:

The essence of the process is clarity of one’s role and objective evaluation of performance

and identifying areas to improve, arrived at after a thorough discussion between the

subordinate and superior. To help them cover all areas of performance and potential a

structured format will be used. The format will be the limits to the discussion, but will

serve as a check list. The suggested methods are as follows:

The individual to be appraised does a self-appraisal. He/ She objectively evaluate her own

performance, identifies deterrents external and within himself and assistance that will be

required to overcome the deterrents.

Simultaneously, the Appraiser (the Superior) will also appraise the individual in absentia,

evaluating the appraisee’s performance identifying the strengths and weaknesses and a

training and development plan for the subordinate. On the Appraiser and Appraise

completing the appraisals independently, they sit together on a pre-determined date and

time and discuss their appraisals. Basically, the discussion will centre around areas of

difference between the two appraisals and seek to arrive at a consensus based on objectivity

and not a compromise. On resolving the differences, the Appraiser and Appraise will

discuss development plans, career plan and job content. All the critical points in the

discussion will be documented. One copy of the document will be sent to the Functional

Head, if any, and one copy retained with the Appraiser.

The Appraiser / Functional Head will scrutinize the forms and discuss the document and

collate the forms for his function and submit & discuss with the Top Management if need

be, with his recommendations through HR & A Department. From this will stem the

formal training programs, review of internal development plans and recognition of

exceptional performance, increments, promotions, recourse, recruitments etc. This,

concisely, is the process envisaged.

- 49 -

Page 50: Final Welspun

DETAIL STUDY OF HR POLICY OF WELSPUN

The structure: The Appraisal exercise will comprise three parts: -

Actual performance against assigned responsibility :

In this part, the individual’s performance is evaluated almost in isolation.

Quite often skills and potential of an Individual is assessed wrongly for

performance. To a large extent such confusions can be eliminated by having clarity

in performance expectations or measurable objectives. Therefore, performance

planning or objective setting precedes evaluation. However, caution needs to be

exercised in understanding that objectives will cover only Key Result Areas and

will not be a substitute for job description. To ensure standards are the same across

the various functions and across the various individuals doing the appraisals,

acceptable or genuine reasons for lower level of performance should not result in

lowering the standard itself. To illustrate, if the objective was to complete the

certain task by 31st March and due to some additional and urgent tasks given in the

interim period, the task was actually achieved much later, then the individual has

not met the objective. However, the reasons for non-achievement should be

adequately highlighted along with.

Evaluation of skills and attributes : This part serves two important functions:

i. It helps to identify specific skills and attributes that deferred the individual

from achieving better performance.

ii. It forms the basis for the individual’s development plan.

It needs to be understood that skills and attributes desired vary with the

different roles and even if some do not, the relative importance will vary.

For example, the higher the level, the greater the weighage on leadership

skills.

- 50 -

Page 51: Final Welspun

DETAIL STUDY OF HR POLICY OF WELSPUN

Development and Career Plan :

This will be the most critical part and therefore relatively more time needs to be spent on

this. Here, the appraiser has to play the role of a counsellor and identify areas which need

development and discuss concrete plans to aid development. This will, most of the times,

lead the appraisee to discuss his growth expectations. It is therefore extremely critical for

the appraiser to resist the temptation to give any message that will lead the appraisee to

have unattainable expectations. Such communications in the performance appraisal

exercise destroys the credibility of the exercise and gives birth to cynicism. It needs to be

categorically stated that growth is a function of potential with performance and the

organisation’s needs.

Rating Scale

To identify exceptional performance a four points rating scale will be used. They are

unsatisfactory, satisfactory, good and excellent.

Unsatisfactory: The individual rated unsatisfactory has performed below

expectations. Irrespective of whether the unsatisfactory performance is due to lack of

potential / skills or due to extraneous factors, such performance needs to be categorised as

Unsatisfactory. However, the factors contributing to such performance needs to be gone

into rigorously.

Satisfactory: The individual has performed at par with expectations and has

achieved the task at par with the desired / expected methods & systems.

Good: The individual has performed much above goals set and expectation. The

better systems & methods used to achieve the task set have been as per expectations of his

calibre. The individual has utilised the time effectively.

Excellent: The individual has performed much above goals set and expectation.

The individual showed total identification with the company and tremendous initiative in

identifying opportunity areas for the company. The individual contributed to the

integration of various functions.

Page 52: Final Welspun

DETAIL STUDY OF HR POLICY OF WELSPUN

It has to be noted that the rating are to be given only on the basis of Part A viz.

Performance and not on Part B viz., skills etc. In order to implement the process it has been

decided to reward employees in the organisation with increment for performance relating to

the each financial year. Increments for individuals rated unsatisfactory can even be NIL &

management may apprise the concerned employee either to improve in the related areas or

to adopt for separation.

Some important aspects of Performance Appraisal.

a) The value of Appraisal depends totally on our sensitivity to man

management. Ratings accorded, which have no relationship to actual

performance and assessment of skill, which have no relationship to

performance will lead to unhealthy environment

b) There also could be a phenomenon of a given individual’s evaluation

changing extremely over immediate preceding two years. This normally

happens when two different individuals have appraised. Therefore, it is

essential to understand the person’s performance before the period in

question.

c) Wherever the person appraising an individual has been his superior for less

than six months, it is necessary to consult the previous superior, wherever

possible.

d) A good performance appraisal presupposes intimate knowledge of the

people and the job. Every appraiser should be conscious of the need to

interact and understand every job in all the details.

Implementation of Development plans & follow-up

The performance appraisal exercise is only half done if it is not implemented and followed

up to its logical end. Individuals with unsatisfactory rating will be critically reviewed by

the functional heads and necessary steps initiated to counsel and develop, if possible.

Individuals with excellent rating are also to be critically reviewed by the functional head,

and suitable motivation given to sustain the high level of performance.

Wherever development plans are charted for individuals, the appraiser will be held

responsible to implement and periodically review the plan.

INCREMENTS AND PROMOTIONS

As detailed in the Policy on Performance Appraisals, they will have a four points rating

scale - Excellent, Good, Satisfactory and Unsatisfactory. All employees who have been

rated satisfactory will get a normal increment. Normally, all increments will be finalised

well in time and implemented in the April Salaries.

Promotion from one grade to another is purely a function of the individuals potential for

higher responsibilities and the organisation’s need viz., vacancy. Good performance in the

current job does not necessarily have to result in a promotion. In other words, a good

performer should also exhibit potential for higher responsibilities to be considered for

promotion. For the level of Senior Officers & above, recommendation for promotion will

be finalised only after a formal interview by the functional head/Top management with the

individual concerned.

All recommendations for promotion below the level of Senior Officer which has been

endorsed by the HOD will be collated at the company level and approved by the top

management as deemed necessary & fit. Normally all promotions will be finalised and

implemented after the Appraisal exercise and may have the effective date of

implementation from 1st of the April. If anybody promoted during intervening period, the

effect in salary package shall be made only on 1st of following April Month.

RECOMMENDATION

The main reason with organization should have policies and procedures, relevant job

descriptions and a job evaluation system is to ensure that your staffs are treated

equally across a variety of employment issues. In addition, written polices help if

legal situations arise. Chances are very good that your organization is required by law

to provide written policy information to your employees.

Small businesses without HR departments often scramble for resources when

compiling staffing information, contracts, or developing HR policies and procedures.

In addition, many large organizations have dated policies, procedures and job

descriptions that no longer reflect the reality of today's business world. Organizations

looking for fresh ideas and a fresh start to can find what they are looking for with our

products and services.
