Starting a Performance Management Project: How Should I Kick Off My Internship Task?

Hi, I'm Vishakh and I'm starting my project in performance management as part of my summer internship. I request suggestions on how to start the project and proceed with it. Could anyone please help me with this?

Thank you,
Vishakh

Hi Vishakh,

First, you should go through PMS as a subject just to acquire knowledge in the area. It's a broad field. As you are starting a project, you must undergo training within the company itself. Therefore, you will have to coordinate with the HR department to observe how they operate the Performance Appraisal System there. You will get to know the strengths and weaknesses of the system and can also suggest improvements if you notice any. Additionally, you will learn about TNIs, KRAs, Performance Planning, Succession Planning, and more in this domain.

I have also chosen this project in my company as I am pursuing an MBA in HR through distance learning. Let's stay connected so that we can support each other. I hope I have not wasted your time.

Thank you,
Sapna

Dear Vikash,

First, you need to specify which industry or company you are joining for your internship because you can apply one type of performance appraisal in every industry or company. You can refer to CB Gupta's "Human Resource Management" book for Performance Appraisal.

Hello Vishekh,

Before conducting performance measurement, it is necessary to understand the job description of each employee. Next, analyze the process flow within the organization - study how the processes operate. Then, establish parameters for each job. I believe that following this sequence will certainly be beneficial for you.

Best regards,
