New to HR? Seeking Advice on Conducting Performance Appraisals in an NGO Setting

Hello everyone,

I am a fresher who recently joined the HR department of an NGO. I have been assigned the task of conducting a performance appraisal of the organization. I have prepared the appraisal form and now I am seeking guidance on how to evaluate it.

Please advise me on how to conduct evaluations for both self-appraisal and appraisal from superiors.

Regards,
Sunitha

Hi Sunitha,

I hope you have prepared the format. The evaluation part for self-appraisal should be based on Customer Satisfaction Survey. You have to prepare a questionnaire based on quality, communication, delivery, etc., where your immediate customer (neighbor department) rates you on a 5-point rating scale. Similarly, your superiors will rate you based on Job knowledge, Job improvements made, Personality, etc.

So, you have to compare the results and recommendations and finally rate again on a 5-point rating scale. I hope this will be useful for you. For more queries, please post to me. Keep rocking!

Hello Chum,

Thanks for your reply, but my question is about the method to evaluate the appraisal form that I have prepared. The form is structured around dimensions such as work output, job knowledge, interpersonal relations, and a few open-ended questions on their achievements.

My appraisal form consists of questions that are rated on a five-point scale and also includes a few open-ended questions. Additionally, could you please provide insights on how to set Key Result Areas (KRAs)?

Regards,
Sunitha

Sunitha,

If you are looking for guidance on how to pilot your questionnaire to iron out deficiencies, please attach it to your message. However, if it is sensitive, then contact me via private message, and I will provide you with my email ID.

Have a nice day.

Hi Sunitha,

Let me clarify, are you going to evaluate the appraisal format? Are you going to create the appraisal format? Please provide me with your questionnaire, and I will assist you in the evaluation. My email is chum_boys@yahoo.com.

Key Result Areas (KRAs) detail the activities, their targets, and completion time. I will share the format for the same.

Sunitha, in your response, you mentioned preparing an appraisal form focused on dimensions like work output, job knowledge, interpersonal relations, and a few open-ended questions on achievements. Your appraisal form includes questions rated on a five-point scale and some open-ended questions. Additionally, please advise on how you establish KRAs.

Regards,
Sunitha
