Dear All,
I need your suggestions...!!!
Am working in small company ( KPO) around 80 associates are working in different projects.
there is no seniors in Hr dept now so am taking care of all the activities related to HR Dept
If coming to appraisal, they had July - July appraisal cycle and in that my role is zero means management is not discussed anything about that with me because may be i don't have exp in that.( 20 members are applicable to Appraisals)
Its already to End of Aug and they haven't discussed anything with the associates yet,,, they are all following me like anything, if i discussed with management they will tell , if happens wait....!!!
how to convince the associates to wait till it happens or how to convince the management to process it sooner...
Thanks

Dear Ms Roopa Nagaraju
You are in a situation that you are not in a position to force the management to perform appraisal or to give the dates for appraisals for the employees. In many organisations it happens. My request is don't force or convince management regarding appraisal. Just inform the employees as already it has been discussed and it is in process.

Dear Sir,
Thanks for your valuable reply.....
yes you are true that am not in position to force the management... but i can't lie to the associates that its in process, its already a month over and if i say so, they will ask me for the particular dates of appraisal and they will not believe me for anything in future...
Thanks & Regards

Dear Roopa,
Since you work in a company whose strength is just 80, then it is a small company. Your management could be conducting town hall meeting or any other meeting. Tell the employees to raise this issue directly. Try passing the buck but then do it diplomatically.
The company's management appears to be unprofessional. Management cannot be wishy-washy on the HR processes. I doubt whether you will learn anything here. Therefore, do a time pass and get away from here when you complete 1.5 years or so.
Thanks,

You need not lie to anyone
(the management didnt tell you to tell others its being done)
You have to tell the associates what you have been told :
Please wait, the management will do appraisals in due course. I have asked and they asked me to wait.
if any of them wish, they can surely take it up directly with the management.
Its a small set up after all.

Just a word of caution roopa
The management may not be happy to hear that you have asked them to approach the management as a group and send a group email etc. In future, do not make that suggestion. The employees will figure out that sending out a common mail would be a good idea. But it coming from you may (depends on hour warped the managements attitude is) put you in their bad books. Somewhat like HR helping them gang up on us / form unofficial union, etc
Your other suggestion telling the associates that they can take it up directly with the management if they wish (individually) is proper and no one can logically be annoyed with you for that suggestion.

It is good discussion, I found some of the suggestions are very good.
1. The management is very very unprofessional.
2. Don't provoke your associates to email / raise their voice against the management otherwise you will be put in hot water.
3. Sending a massage to all the associates that it is delay for some reason and wait for sometime is okay but it is a short time remedial solution.
4. Talk to the management and convince them that they should decide it fast.

You need to understand first if the Appraisal process in your organization leads to the award of salary increments, weeding out the non-performers or finding out the development needs of employees. Which ever activity means cost reduction will be the obvious focus of management, especially when the businesses are on decline. Any well managed company thus looks into the financial aspects of business first & then decides whether to delay/ defer certain processes. Processes are after all to manage the business & have no sanctity in isolation.
As an HR executive, your interest that a process must be followed in letter & spirit, though genuine, may sometimes be impractical. You do have to appreciate the business scenario & manage the situation diplomatically. This is one of the roles for which you were hired.

Dear Anonymous
Wonder why you have to hide your name for this simple thing.....
1. There is nothing here to say management is unprofessional. Many (if not most) small companies are postponing appraisals as they do not plan (or can not afford) to raise salaries in the current scenario. In addition, they may be busy with important things.
2. The point is, as HR head of the unit, she should not be seen doing something akin to setting up an union. People get into to trouble for that. Individual employees going and asking about their appraisal would have a different impact in a small company as compared to the entire group going together.
In fact, one option (if not already done) is to send a mail to the management informing them that all the employees are coming to me and asking me for dates of appraisal. I do not have an answer since you do not know when it will happen. Please let me know what i should tell them.
