Seeking Advice on Effective Reference Check Questions and Performance Appraisal Guidance

Dear all,

I am working as an HR Executive at Mark One - Airtel. My major responsibilities include checking references and conducting performance appraisals. Could anyone please advise me on the questions I should ask and the information I should seek during reference checks? Additionally, I would appreciate guidance on conducting performance appraisals.

Thank you,
Somdatta

Dear Somdatta,

I am attaching the copy of the reference check that I usually conduct in my organization. I hope that would be helpful for you.

Hi!

During your reference check:

Please go through the company's website for inquiries and call those numbers for correct information regarding the department head and the related processes. Ask the department head about the employee's salary, experience, designation, and role. Inquire about their behavior, conduct, and character.

Regarding performance appraisals, conduct evaluations of your employees either through 360-degree feedback or a flat 180-degree approach. Ensure that the appraisal process is aligned with the company's policies and industry standards.

Have a nice day.
