New HR Manager Seeks Advice on Crafting an Effective Employee Performance Appraisal System

I am working with a reputed Custom House Agent, overseeing Import & Export-related matters. We have a total of 60 employees in our organization. I am the newly appointed HR Manager here and I am looking to evaluate the performance of all our employees.

I would appreciate your assistance in developing the perfect performance appraisal system.

Thank you.

Regards

Unfortunately, nothing is perfect! But yes, one needs a customized form. Please don't take 'any' form provided. It would make sense to understand the following:

1. Is your company ready for something 'hi-fi' and 'new'?
2. Do your colleagues find 'true value' in the changes you are proposing?
3. Can they 'support' your initiative / are they trained to understand how the changes are to be administered at their level?
4. Are the data for the various dimensions easy to obtain and verifiable?
5. Is the management serious about implementing what you would be proposing?
6. Are you convinced that it will make your organization a better place to work?

If your answer to all of the above is yes, you are on the right path... Else, you might risk yourself at citehr with their unique copy-paste technology!

Steps to Develop Effective KRAs

The first thing is to have well-thought-out KRAs with the employees (Key Result/Responsibility Areas) as it helps HR quantify the efforts of an employee. Here are the steps to follow:

- Prepare KRAs (as per designations)
- Share the same with employees
- Evaluate the performance based on KRAs
- Employee self-rating/superior rating
- Final appraisal

Hope this helps.
