Dear Friends,

Please give your valuable time to my query & Guide me!

My Management asked to draft KRA & KPIs for all existing deptts.

As Job Descriptions are mandatory for KRAs but all JDs need to be updated as per changing role & responsibility,

With JDs, first of all
1.Goals of the organization,
2.deptt's KRAs and then
3.Individual KRA & KPI should be formulated.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

And for formulation of the same I need to undersatand all deptt work flow through discussion with each deptt head.

Here I do have few queries please guide me for clarification:-

1. Is it possible to develop KRAs without deptts KRA ?
2. What is Key performance Area and how it is different from KRA & KPI?
3. The sequence of developing PMS is setting KRA,KPI and than Goals and than Deadlines.
What is the role of Goals here and how to set goals.

One more problem I am facing that line managers as well as top management is not interested to give time to discuss the same.

They just give me work to do but don’t cooperate.

And whatever JDs has been formulated by me are not upto the mark as per my understanding because of the lack of information provided to me by deptt. head.
As I analyzed that all employees doing lot of work than written in the jds.
So if I draft kRAs on the basis of JDs these would be inaccurate.

Plz guide me? How to handle the issue...........

Hi...I saw ur post .....I think below content wil be helpful for u...

“Key Result Areas” or KRAs refer to general areas of outcomes or outputs for which the department's role is responsible. A typical role targets three to five KRA.
-------------------------------------------------
Value of KRAs.

Identifying KRAs helps individuals: ·
- Clarify their roles
-· Align their roles to the organisation’s business or strategic plan
-· Focus on results rather than activities
-· Communicate their role’s purposes to others
-· Set goals and objectives
-· Prioritize their activities,
-and therefore improve their time/work management
-· Make value-added decisions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description of KRAs
Key result areas (KRAs) capture about 80% of the department's work role. The remainder of the role is usually devoted to areas of shared responsibility (e.g., helping team members, participating in activities for the good of the organisation).
================================================== ===============
BEFORE YOU DEVELOP ''KRAs'', you must review the current the corporate

OBJECTIVES / STRATEGIES which are based on the established
*CORPORATE OBJECTIVES
*CORPORATE STRATEGY

which in turn is converted into
DEPARTMENTAL PLANS/STRATEGY
================================================== ====
BASED ON THE
the DEPARTMENTAL OBJECTIVES /STRATEGY.

the job descriptions are written/re written/reviewed or revised
as the situation may be.

Swati,
see this is a problem of every organisation,You will have to learn how to take out work from these kind of persons.If you have read or if i talk in terms of management by indian values you have to use sham,dam,dand ,bhed as required.
Other than this if department heads are not cooperating ask your management to resolve the issue.
For KRA's,KPI's I sended you a live example if any problem discuss on those.

Dear Swati,

Mr Ravi Shankar has given good examples. Let me put my points as well regarding ur queries, this will help a bit:

U have put 3 points with JD, but JD comes at later stage.

1. as mentioned above, 1st comes vision then
2. mission
3. goals
4. objectives (more specific)

After having organisation's objectives / target/ strategy then comes the department's goals & objectives or strategy. Though, origin of departments happens as per structural analysis over a period of time (lets not go there as of now).

Now, as u rightly said since roles are changing and expanding JD needs to be changed. But JD is outcome of job evaluation and there are certain methods to evaluate jobs, which even many outside consultants do for the organisation. Or one can do by having a committe within the organisation. Growing organisation may need to do this exercise every 2-3 yrs.

I am bit skeptical about differences between, KFA/KRA/KPI/KFA though Ravishankar has given some insight. These are related to JD but also with department's objectives of particular year.

As far as setting up objectives is comcerned it also depends upon organisations way of setting the objectives as well as managing style of managers. Also, you alone can not decide or set objectives/KFA/KRA/KPI for others, being an HR we can be facilitator and process the activity and get it done in time with complete parity in the system. Its more a matter between subordinate and supervisor and they only have to do. For ex. is it possible to decide a Marketing executive's KRA by you who is working under National sales manager???? I think no. You can do it based on ur capacity but its neither accurately feasible nor a correct process.

I dont know appraisal cycle of ur organisation, as KPIs may get changed also. And how much weightage to be given to which activity this better b expalined n decided between supervisor & subordinate.

Please let ur management know its a joint & deliberate exercise u lone will get in huge pressure if doing alone and the whole whole year will end with lot of confusions...even this depends upon the size of ur organisation.

Pleases keep discussing on this and inform us the progress...as its alearning for me also..

Reagards,
Rahul
