KRA for Software company

Hi Anita

Performance appraisal is different assessment of an individual is different

We select a person with communication ability good attitude etc

With these attributes in him, has he or she delivered?

That is what Performance appraisal is all about

At the time of PA if yu ask them to measure his attitude, how will they measure? and again how will you measure leadership, communication etc

And what is the use if a person score 23 out of 25 in these attributes and gets less than 25% in KRA

Focus on Performance appraisal Focus only on performance Behavioural attributes are not measured for performance.

These attributes need to measures and assessed properly through correct methodology for promotions I repeat for Promotions and not for upgradations.

Delink performance appraisal and rewards linking to performance appraisal which will include upgradation from Promotions which includes additional responsibilities

KRA 1 25%
2 25%
3 15%
4 15%
5 10%
6 10%


Behavior Attributes 15%

Initiative 25%

Dear Anita,

Hi,

Before Designing the PMS system you first need to clear your mind:
Goals Should be- Realistic
To the point, brief, and unambiguous
Complete demonstration of the ability being rated
Not laced with jargon

Rating Scale:
Against established criteria- “Rating Scales”
Listed behaviors that would be expected to earn a given score
Benchmarks should be determined in advance based on what good and poor performers would do in the situation

Now how a rating scale must be made:
please see my attachment....


After this you need to define your Appraisal Cycle:
"i.e. teh time for appraisal usally it 1 yr or financial yr in most of the companies".


Once all this is ready:
it's time to move a head with PMS system....
1. Define the employees goals by their managers.
2. Keep the KRA% as 100 dividing into no. of goals but do not define KRA1 25%, KRA2 50%...as it may keep two imp KRA a diff rating scale.
3. By the end of appraisal cycle, ask the employees to define what ever they have done in thier KRA....usually by a PMS form.
4. Ask the Manager to Rate...
5. Once the rating come, compare the Rating on one hand & feedback for employees on other.
6. with rating you can see how much to increase the % Salary.
7. With feedback give it to employees so taht they now the loopholes and correct it accordingly..



DO let me know if this is useful to you......

Dear Sonia,
