I am working in an IT Company as an HR Manager. We do not have a process of appraisal, and usually, salary increases are recommended by the HOD. Top management sits with the HOD, and appraisals are done. This time we want to have a systematic appraisal process. I have KRAs for each position in my company. What should be the next step for the Performance Appraisal process?

Dear friend,
What is your product or service?
It appears that you do not have a proper policy on Performance Appraisal (PA) well in place. When employees join the company, during induction itself, they should be told when their appraisal will take place. The salient features of the policy could be as below:
a) Appraisal may be done quarterly. An appraisal cycle of one year is too long. Nevertheless, a salary hike may be done on 1st April or 1st October.
b) Employees who join in between; when their first PA will take place can be decided in the policy.
c) The percentage of salary hike should be linked to the score of PA.
The most important thing is obtaining buy-in from top management on this policy. It should not remain just on paper.
Misconceptions on KPI and KRA
There is a lot of misconception on the concept of KPI and KRA. To remove this misconception, I have uploaded my presentation on YouTube. To refer to that video, you may click here: click here.
Beyond Individual Performance
The important point is PA concentrates only on individual performance. We need to go beyond and measure business performance. For this, you need to have a well-designed policy on the Performance Management System (PMS). There was a query in this forum on PMS. I have given a reply to this post. Click the following link to refer to the reply: https://www.citehr.com/511936-pms-company.html.

Hi All,
This is Mahendra from Hyderabad. Without any self-appraisal form, how can HR, managers, and the CEO decide the percentage of appraisal to give to employees without taking into consideration the employees' self-appraisal forms? I would like to know how to prepare such a document and need the format for the appraisal form. Can anyone help in preparing a new template for the appraisal form?
Regards,
Mahendra
