Key Result Areas [ KRAs ]
=======================================
KEY PERFORMANCE AREAS
These are the areas within the business , where an
individual or group, is logically responsible / accountable
for the results.
KRAs [ KEY RESULT AREAS are managed by
-KPAs [ KEY PERFORMANCE AREAS]
-KPIs [KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS]
To manage each KRA, KPIs are set .
KRA and hence KPI is attributed to the person who
can have effect on the business results and is
self measured where applicable.
=================================================
Key Result Areas [ KRAs ]
"Key Result Areas" or KRAs refer to general areas of outcomes or outputs for which a role is responsible. A typical role targets three to five KRAs.
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
Key result areas (KRAs) capture about 80% of a 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).

-WORKFORCE PLANNING/ DIVERSITY

HERE above I have shown the contents of HR, along with the
attached format [ excel format ].
In a very similar way, you can develop for other departments
like
-manufacturing
-marketing
-sales
-R&D
-finance
etc etc.
================================================
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE FOR INDIVIDUALS.
AGAIN I AM USING HR DEPARTMENT.
FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH HR DEPARTMENT,
-you should take the job description of the individual
-determine the KRAs for the year
-identify the KPAs for the year [ which could change yearly]
-determine the KPI for each KPA, which depends on the company annual
objectives.
HERE IS THE EXAMPLE for a recruitment officer
KRA 1
-RECRUITMENT/ SELECTION
KPA 1 --RECRUITMENT
KPI ----reduce average time taken to fill vacancies by 15%
KPI ----reduce average cost per recruit by 10%
================================================
FOR OTHER DEPARTMENTS, YOU SHOULD REVIEW
Typical key result areas at the corporate and some functional levels.
JUST LIKE HR DEPARTMENT'S KRAs AND KPIs,
A COMPANY CAN DEVELOP KRA AND KPI
FOR OTHER FUNCTIONAL DEPARTMENTS.
SOME EXAMPLES
1. CORPORATION AS A WHOLE
-corporate objective / actual results
-sales growth %
-gross profit % of sales
-market share growth %
-return on assets
-return on investment
-corporate image index improvement
etc etc
===================================
2.MANUFACTURING
