Hi every respectable member,

I am also a member of your community for quite some time and always go through the message contents.

Now I thought that why should I not take the assistance of my all respected members regarding HR SYSTEMS, to which one company should have and how can these be implemented in the organization.

Actually, I am working as a Personnel Manager in a manufacturing company and my top management expects me to be proficient in HR and to implement HR systems in the company. They say that you are O.K. in IR and administrative part but average in HR. As I have total experience of 15 long years and I am now much worried about my career growth in this competitive age, so may I take a privilege in taking assistance from all of you in the following areas:

1. What HR systems should I know and implement in my company?

2. What MIS can I do with top management with regards to HR systems and in what form and how?

Hope, you all will help me in this regard. Kindly send all your valuable suggestions.

what is the difference between performance management system(PMS) and performance Appraisal(P.A) Regards, Anupama
From India, Madras

Performance Appraisal : The regular (usual annual) process where an employees performance for the year is assessed by manager and/ employee. It is only one part of the performance management approach. Usually means the same as "performance review".

Performance appraisal is a formal, structured system that compares employee performance to established standards. Assessment of job performance is shared with employees being appraised through one of several primary methods of performance appraisals. Elements in performance appraisal methods are tailored to the organization's employees, jobs, and structure. They include objective criteria for measuring employee performance and ratings that summarize how well the employee is doing. Successful appraisal methods have clearly defined and explicitly communicated standards or expectations of employee performance on the job.

Performance Appraisal Methods

Performance appraisals take many forms. Written essays, the simplest essay method, is a written narrative assessing an employee's strengths, weaknesses, past performance, potential, and provides recommendations for improvement. Types of performance appraisal methods include comparative standards (such as, simple ranking, paired comparison, forced distribution) and absolute standards (such as, critical incidents, BARS, MBO).

· Comparative Standards or Multi-person Comparison. This relative, as opposed to absolute method, compares one employee's performance with that of one or more others.

In group rank ordering the supervisor places employees into a particular classification such as "top one-fifth" and "second one-fifth". If a supervisor has ten employees, only two could be in the top fifth, and two must be assigned to the bottom fifth.

- In individual ranking the supervisor lists employees from highest to lowest. The difference between the top two employees is assumed equivalent to the difference between the bottom two employees.

- In paired comparison the supervisor compares each employee with every other employee in the group and rates each as either superior or weaker of the pair. After all comparisons are made, each employee is assigned a summary or ranking based on the number of superior scores received.

· Critical Incidents. The supervisor's attention is focused on specific or critical behaviors that separate effective from ineffective performance.

· Graphic Rating Scale. This method lists a set of performance factors such as job knowledge, work quality, cooperation that the supervisor uses to rate employee performance using an incremental scale.

· Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales (BARS). BARS combine elements from critical incident and graphic rating scale approaches. The supervisor rates employees according to items on a numerical scale.

· Management by Objectives. MBO evaluates how well an employee has accomplished objectives determined to be critical in job performance. This method aligns objectives with quantitative performance measures such as sales, profits, zero-defect units produced.

· 360 Degree Feedback. This multi-source feedback method provides a comprehensive perspective of employee performance by utilizing feedback from the full circle of people with whom the employee interacts: supervisors, subordinates and co-workers. It is effective for career coaching and identifying strengths and weaknesses.

================================================== ==========

Definition of Performance Management

Performance management is the practice of actively using performance data to improve the organization's health. This practice involves strategic use of performance measures and standards to establish performance targets and goals, to prioritize and allocate resources, to inform managers about needed adjustments or changes in policy or program directions to meet goals, to frame reports on the success in meeting performance goals, and to improve the quality of management/organization practice.

Performance Management is an ongoing dialogue between manager and employee that links expectations, ongoing feedback and coaching, performance evaluations, development planning, and follow-up.

Set Expectations

As a best practice, we encourage supervisors to define expectations for every position. These expectations and performance measurement standards should be communicated to new employees, and reviewed at least once a year with all employees. Expectations for each position can include: purpose of the position, key responsibilities - both tasks and duties, conduct expectations, and performance standards, as well as, measures such as quality, quantity, timeliness, initiative, and teamwork for each key responsibility.

Gather Data

Performance evaluations should not be a one time event. Supervisors are encouraged to gather data regarding employee performance in a systematic manner throughout the year. The Performance Record and the Coaching Log are guides that can be used by supervisors, in addition to their own best practices, to gather data throughout the year and provide ongoing feedback to employees regarding performance. This information will then be available to supervisors when drafting the Annual Performance Evaluation.

Performance Evaluations

As a supervisor, your role is to set expectations, gather data, and provide on going feedback to your employees to assist them in utilizing their skills, expertise and ideas to produce results. To provide this direction, you should communicate to employees what is expected of them, define satisfactory performance for those expectations, and then monitor and evaluate the performance on an on going basis.

The Annual Performance Evaluation should provide a comparison of actual on-the-job performance to established performance measurement standards. The Annual Performance Evaluation encourages periodic and structured communication between supervisors and employees about the job, and should take place continuously. While day-to-day evaluation is usually informal,

Annual performance evaluations are the final phase of an effective performance management system. As a best practice, we recommend that the process start with performance planning between the supervisor and the employee in which they discuss expectations, performance standards, and objectives for the next year. The performance management process both ends and begins anew with the Annual Performance Evaluation.

Feedback

Feedback is a process by which effective performance is reinforced and less-than-desirable performance is corrected. Feedback should be information that highlights the relationship between what is expected and what has been accomplished after the work is performed or the action is taken.

Feedback can take many forms; it can be informal or formal. It can be given as praise in the form of reward and recognition, or it can be corrective in the form of disciplinary or corrective action.

Development Planning

Development planning is the process of creating experiences for your employees that promote skills and knowledge related to the position, as well as to professional growth.

Development plans draw from the Performance Evaluation:

Performance goals or needs (deficiencies) to be addressed

The employee, with supervisor assistance, identifies ways to achieve those goals and/or address performance deficiencies in systematic ways

Address opportunities for professional growth

Agreement and/or commitment between employee and supervisor

Planned follow-up

Purpose

It is the policy to maintain a Performance Management System approved by the corporate management. Such a system includes several components:

a corporate / HR policy,

individual employee work plans,

work profile

development plans,

an education/training program,

a dispute resolution process, and

a performance management and pay history.

The organization views the Performance Management System as a communications system designed to help employees succeed. It is directed by managers and supervisors but requires active participation by employees. The Performance Management System ensures that employees:

are aware of their principal job functions,

understand the level of performance expected,

receive timely feedback about their performance,

have opportunities for education, training and development, and

receive performance ratings and rewards in a fair and consistent manner.

Performance appraisal information is one consideration in making other personnel decisions such as promotions, performance-based disciplinary actions, and salary increases. Proposed personnel actions must be consistent with overall evaluations. Although there is a relationship between performance appraisals and determining employee eligibility for performance-based salary increases and bonuses, the System's primary focus is on managing employee performance towards the successful achievement of expectations set forth in the employee's work plan.

Performance Management Cycle

The Performance Management Cycle includes the following elements:

Work Plan

Work Profile

Development Plan [ education /training/development programs]

Work Planning Conference

Interim Performance Review

Annual Performance Review

COMPANY opportunities permit. The program is designed to help team members make

the most of their capabilities. Career development is based upon a combination of

self-development and utilizing the individual development plan (IDP) with

constant evaluation and guidance by management. This program has been

established to enhance team members’ capabilities for progressing to positions of

greater responsibility. These programs are tailored to facilitate both the successful

accomplishment of the COMPANY mission in the area of resources management

SOME MORE RESOURCES TO CONSIDER

Corporate Career Pathing

Career pathing programs provide both an analytical approach and practical implementation tools for maximizing strategic planning, succession planning, executive development, and employee retention strategies. By defining core competencies and correctly aligning your human capital plan to your overall strategic plan, you can help to reach your corporate goals by ensuring the right people are in the right roles at the right time.

By developing appropriately designed career pathing models closely tied to performance appraisal systems, you can see bottom-line results from retention of high potentials, increased employee productivity and morale, and an improved ability for employees to adapt to change and take on new responsibilities. The approach provides you a practical implementation that has a positive impact on recruiting, compensation, and individual effectiveness.

what is career pathing and career planning

Career Pathing is a set of diverse strategies that develop

articulated connections between jobs in the same or related industries to achieve occupational advancement or increased wages, skills and benefits for workers.

A sampling of strategies that are commonly used in career pathing include:

Ø Developing curriculum for new training to advance in a career field;

Ø Creating new job classifications that can provide additional “steps up” in a field;

Ø Training workers to start Being more productive.

Ø Working with employers to articulate paths or skill standards for advancement where

none existed previously;

Ø Upgrading skills for low-skill workers;

Ø Providing technical assistance to employers to demonstrate how to implement career

pathways;

Ø Creating new strategies for credentialing workers;

Ø Building education and training benefits packages where they don’t already exist;

Ø Investing in career counseling and mentoring programs for low-wage workers.

FOR THE SUCCESS OF SUCH CAREER PATHING PROGRAMS,

THE FOLLOWING APPROACH WOULD BE USEFUL.

SUCCESSION PLAN

CAREER PLANNING

CAREER DEVELOPMENT PORGRAMS

personal development--training/development--career counseling--mentoring

=================================================

CAREER PLANNING

Career Planning is a critical element / outcome of SUCCESSION PLANNING,

Performance appraisal and Potential assessment systems.

The process of career planning

Career planning is the key process in career management. It uses all the information provided by the organization's assessments of requirements, the assessments of performance and potential and the management succession plans, and translates it in the form of individual career development programs and general arrangements for management development, career counseling, mentoring and management training.

Career planning ‑ the competency band approach

It is possible to define career progression in terms of the competencies required by individuals to carry out work at progressive levels of responsibility or contribution. These levels can be described as competency bands.

Competencies would be defined as the attributes and behavioral characteristics needed to perform effectively at each discrete level in a job or career family. The number of levels would vary according to the range of competencies required in a particular job family. For each band, the experience and training needed to achieve the competency level would be defined.

These definitions would provide a career map incorporating 'aiming points' for individuals, who would be made aware of the competency levels they must reach in order to achieve progress in their careers. This would help them to plan their own development, although support and guidance should be provided by their managers, and HR specialists . The provision of additional experience and training could be arranged as appropriate, but it would be important to clarify what individual employees need to do for themselves if they want to progress within the organization.

The advantage of this approach is that people are provided with aiming points and an understanding of what they need to do to reach them. One of the major causes of frustration and job dissatisfaction is the absence of this information.

A competency band career development approach can be linked to

Aiming points

1. Competence band 1 definition

Basic training and experience

2. Competence band 2 definition

Continuation of medium training and experience

3.Competence band 3 definition

Continuation of advanced training and experience

Career planning is for core people as well as high‑flyers

The philosophy upon which career plans are based refers not only to advancing careers to meet organizational and individual requirements, but also the need to maximize the potential of the people in the organization in terms of productivity and satisfaction under conditions of change, when development does not necessarily mean promotion.

career planning is for individuals as well as the organization

Career planning procedures are always based on what the organization needs. But they have to recognize that organizational needs will not be satisfied if individual needs are neglected. Career planning has to be concerned with the management of diversity.

Career plans must therefore recognize that:

* members of the organization should receive recognition as individuals with unique needs, wants, and abilities;

* individuals are more motivated by an organization that responds to their aspirations and needs;

* individuals can grow, change and seek new directions if they are given the right opportunities, encouragement and guidance.

Career planning techniques

Career planning uses all the information generated by the succession plans, performance, and potential assessments and self‑assessments to develop programs and procedures which are designed to implement career management policies, achieve succession planning objectives and generally improve motivation, commitment and performance.

It's also a way to help key employees reach higher career aspirations so that they continue to add significant value to the company.
