Seeking Help to Create Our Company's First Appraisal Policy – Any Suggestions or Samples?

Dear All Friends,

I want to know how to proceed to design an effective appraisal policy. Currently, our company does not have an appraisal system in place, so I have been given the responsibility to create a new appraisal policy. Therefore, I kindly request all of you to assist me in designing the appraisal policy by providing your valuable suggestions and inputs on the concepts that should be taken into account.

If possible, could anyone please attach a sample format to aid me in designing the policy?

I would greatly appreciate your prompt replies.

Thank you,
Anu

Hello everyone,

I am yet to get your reply on the appraisal policy. Does that mean that nobody is there to help me out with this?

Please help!

Hi man,

People in rural areas face some different health issues than people who live in towns and cities. Getting health care can be a problem when you live in a remote area. You might not be able to get to a hospital quickly in an emergency. You also might not want to travel long distances to get routine checkups and screenings. Rural areas often have fewer doctors and dentists, and certain specialists might not be available at all.

Because it can be hard to get care, health problems in rural residents may be more serious by the time they are diagnosed. People in rural areas of the United States have higher rates of chronic disease than people in urban areas. They also have higher rates of certain types of cancer, from exposure to chemicals used in farming.

Thank you

Hi Anu,

To create an effective appraisal system, you require the following background:

1. Set KRA for each position, for this, you require Job Descriptions.
2. All supervisors should get buy-in from their respective subordinates for their specific KRA for the agreed period.
3. Once this is ready, you can set pointers for each KRA. It's better to have only between 3 to 4 KRA for each period. Pointers could be Quality of the output, Time, Errors, and Discipline, to name a few. You can decide on this.
4. Confirm the periodicity of the appraisal cycle.
5. Create a template.
6. Give sufficient time for the employee and the supervisor to complete, but not more than 10 days are required unless the supervisor has more than 50 direct reportees.
7. Consolidate the same with your recommendation.
8. Meanwhile, confirm that the employee has accepted the ratings given by the supervisor.
9. Recommend as per the company policy for incentives or promotions.

I hope this is sufficient. Do write back for any other help.

Thanks,

Dear Koshy,

Thank you for your reply, but it would be much more fruitful if you could attach some sample formats of appraisal forms/policy.

Waiting for the same.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Shubha & Koshy,

I am also trying to improve the appraisal form in my company, which is a small IT company. All the information provided by you guys helps me. I also want to know if anyone can help me on how the percentage will be determined for each filled form.

Thanks,
