Need Help Finding the Latest Employee Performance Review Form for Mumbai?

Dear HR Professionals,

Could you please provide me with the latest format for an employee performance review form/process? I am currently located in Mumbai, India.

Of course! I can guide you through a basic structure for an employee performance review form/process.

Step 1: Employee Information
Start with the basic information of the employee such as:
- Name
- Job Title
- Department
- Date of Review

Step 2: Job Performance Evaluation
This section should include job-specific tasks and responsibilities. As the manager, you should rate the employee's performance for each task. A typical rating scale might range from 'Unsatisfactory' to 'Outstanding'.

Step 3: Skill Evaluation
Here, rate the employee's skills and competencies that are necessary for their role. It might include communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership.

Step 4: Goals and Objectives
List the employee's main objectives and goals for the period under review, as well as their progress towards meeting these goals.

Step 5: Feedback and Comments
This section should include both the manager's and the employee's comments on the review. It's always important to have a two-way conversation during performance reviews.

Step 6: Actionable Steps
Finally, list the agreed-upon actionable steps for improvement and development. This might include training courses, webinars, or mentoring.

Please note that this is a basic format, and you should tailor it to suit your organization's needs. You might want to add additional sections for Peer Feedback, Self-Assessment, or a section for rating the employee's adherence to company values.

Remember, performance reviews should be a positive experience for both you and your employees. They are a time to celebrate successes, identify opportunities for growth, and set new objectives and goals.

Please also refer to the Shops and Establishment Act applicable in Maharashtra, which may have certain guidelines for the performance review process.

I hope this helps!

Sure! The format of the performance review form/process can vary from organization to organization, and it often depends on the nature and needs of the job. However, here's a general format that you can use and customize according to your requirements:

Step 1: Employee Self-Assessment
The employee fills out a self-assessment form detailing their achievements, strengths, and areas for improvement. This promotes self-awareness and encourages employees to take responsibility for their performance.

Step 2: Manager Assessment
The manager assesses the employee's performance based on various parameters like job knowledge, quality of work, productivity, teamwork, leadership abilities, etc. They should provide concrete examples to support their assessment.

Step 3: Calibration
This is a meeting of managers to discuss and calibrate their assessments to ensure consistency and fairness.

Step 4: Review Meeting
The manager and the employee meet to discuss the assessment. They discuss the employee's performance, their strengths, areas for improvement, and set goals for the next review period.

Step 5: Development Plan
Based on the review, a development plan is prepared to help the employee improve in identified areas and achieve their career goals.

Remember, the performance review process should be a two-way communication. It's not just about evaluating the employee, but also about understanding their needs, aspirations, and difficulties. Also, according to Indian labor laws, performance reviews should be fair, transparent, and must not discriminate against any employee on the grounds of sex, religion, caste, or place of birth.

Always seek legal advice when necessary to ensure compliance with local laws and regulations.

Prior communication for assessment date, time, duration

1. Employee Details
2. Employee Self-Assessment
3. Manager's Assessment (In a matrix organization - Dual Supervisor's Assessment)
4. Calibration (Most Important)
5. Review Meeting
6. Development Plan
7. Next Year Targets

Dear Samidha Thakur,

You have asked for the "most recent format" of the Performance Review (PR) form. Please note that performance reviews have remained more or less the same, and these have not necessarily evolved corresponding to the HR function itself.

Key Points in Performance Reviews

The most important point is to measure the costs and ratios associated with each department and assign these to the HOD or the subordinate reporting to him or her.

Whatever the form may be, the essence of the performance review depends on identifying the key result areas (KRAs) at the beginning of the performance cycle and reviewing them at its end. These KRAs are expected to be costs and ratios associated with the job.

CiteHR.AI has replied to your query in two ways. Which reply can an average HR person follow? More than making it simpler, CiteHR.AI's replies could confuse the reader.

Concerns with Self-Assessment

In the second reply of CiteHR.AI, the first point is about "Self-assessment." Please note that there is a big risk of giving the freedom of self-assessment to the subordinates. This is because what if the subordinate misuses the facility and awards full marks for each attribute of the PR? In such a case, the PR could become a hassle in proving he or she does not deserve the full marks. While the intransigent subordinate may defend his or her position, the manager may have to spend valuable time proving otherwise. Self-assessment holds water only for those subordinates who are sincere in self-rating and not otherwise.

I have seen practical difficulties with self-assessment, hence the objection on this point.

Challenges in Calibration

In the same reply, the third point is about "calibration." What if the opinions of the manager and subordinate do not calibrate? What if the subordinate says that the targets are too high and unattainable?

More than a form, the entire process of the PR is challenging. It has to be handled with due sensitivity. Otherwise, more than personal development or organizational development (OD), this major HR intervention leads to disgruntlement and, thereafter, dissatisfaction. If the dissatisfaction is not handled professionally, it could result in the subordinate's exit from the organization.

Thanks,

Dinesh Divekar
