Selection Of Star Performer

Hi,
I am a HR professional. I have to prepare a Questionnaire/Form for selecting a Star Performer in our Organization.
How is this generally done? Do the Department Head grade their subordinates. If yes what is the format followed and if we intend to select somebody among the seniors i.e. among General Managers. Please provide some inputs immediately as I have to submit the same in two days.
Regards

Hi Raga,
First of all set an objective as to how many person / categories you would like to recognise. e.g.
Star Achiever in Sales category - Global
Star Achiever - Productwise
Picking up "Clean Orders"
Valued Contributor in Service category (i.e. Support function)
Attendance & Punctuality
Valued Contributor (in terms of savings to the company)
and the list can go on....
After talking to the Management and department heads, this can be worked out and suitable name/(s) can be attributed for each award. If it is announced well before with criteria/time frame for achievement - for selection as a policy decision and well circulated, there will be a conducive atmosphere for the race. Timely inputs as to who is where in achievement will also help.
Similarly, also workout on the design of the certificate or the shield or workout on the monetary reward. Think over and over and you will get new ideas and others too can contribute.
Great going and wish you all the very best.
