Hi all,

Greetings.

I have been working in the service industry for the past year. Recently, I completed my performance appraisal with our director and submitted a full list of my achievements during the year. I have streamlined basic HR/IR activities.

Now, my director is asking for my KRA/Plan for the next year (i.e., 2006-07). I need help from you in this regard.

As an HR professional, what do I need to write for my KRA for the upcoming year? Please guide me.

Regards,

I presume you report directly to the Director. Your KRA/Plan should be the result of a dialog between you and your manager. It starts with looking at the strategic objectives of the company to find out what is important to the company for the coming year. A more detailed picture for your department should be in your department’s operational plan/department plan. This is the next place to look. Over the previous year, your Director will have had conversations with you about what he/she sees as important in your role and your tasks. Take these into consideration as well. Lastly, make a time with your Director to discuss what he/she sees as important for your role for the coming year.

On the basis of all of this, you can then draft your KRA/Plan. I don’t know whether you have a strategic or operational role, so I can’t guide you on what your KRAs could look like. But think about the key aspects of your role – record keeping, policy writing, counseling, planning, etc. Does your company have examples of KRAs that you can refer to, and does it have a KRA/Plan template? This will help you in structuring and formatting your KRA/Plan.

  • Often, the role and scope of HR in service industries could be

    varied. At this stage , I have no knowledge of your real role.

    What I am suggesting is a general one .

    Key Result Areas

    “Key Result Areas” or KRAs refer to general areas of outcomes or outputs for which the department's role is responsible.

    Identifying KRAs helps individuals: · Clarify their roles · Align their roles to the organisation’s business or strategic plan · Focus on results rather than activities · Communicate their role’s purposes to others · Set goals and objectives · Prioritize their activities, and therefore improve their time/work management · Make value-added decisions

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CORE KRAs of HR DEPARTMENT

    -RECRUITMENT/ SELECTION

    -WORKFORCE PLANNING/

    -DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT

    -PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT



    -REWARD MANAGEMENT

    -WORKPLACE MANAGEMENT

    -INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

    -SAFETY AND HEALTH WORKPLACE



    -BUILDING CAPABILITIES AND ORGANIZATION LEARNING

    -EFFECTIVE HR MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS , SUPPORT AND MONITORING

    ============================================-=======

    KRAs [ KEY RESULT AREAS are managed by

    -KPAs [ KEY PERFORMANCE AREAS]

    -KPIs [KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS]

    KEY PERFORMANCE AREAS

    These are the areas within the HR DEPARTMENT, where an

    individual or group, is logically responsible / accountable

    for the results.

    To manage each KRA/ KPAs, a set of KPI are set .

    KRA and hence KPI is attributed to the department which

    can have effect on the business results and is

    self measured where applicable.

    THE IMPORTANCE AND WEIGHTAGE OF THESE ELEMENTS

    KRAs/KPAs/ KPIs ARE GUIDED BY THE



    *VISION STATEMENT

    *MISSION STATEMENT

    *CORPORATE OBJECTIVES

    *CORPORATE STRATEGY

    *CORPORATE BUSINESS UNITS/ DEPARTMENTAL PLANS/STRATEGY.

    FOR THE BUDGET PERIOD, WHICH IS USUALLY 12 MONTHS.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SO FROM YOUR POINT, CHECK WITH YOUR BOSS

    THE ABOVE LISTED 5 CORPORATE STATEMENTS,

    WHICH WILL HELP YOU TO DEVELOP YOUR KRAs

    for the next 12 months.

    =============================================

    ================================================== ====

    The evaluation of HR DEPARTMENT can have four levels of

    perspective.

    1. Strategic Perspective — the results of strategic initiatives managed by the HR group. The strategic perspective focuses on the measurement of the effectiveness of major strategy-linked people goals. For instance, the business strategy called for major organizational change programs as the business faced major restructuring and multiple mergers and acquisitions. In this context, the organization’s change management capability will be a key factor in the success or failure of its execution. Therefore, measuring the ability of the business to manage change effectively is the core measure of the effectiveness of HR and will be a key strategic contribution to the future success of the business.

    EXAMPLES

    -change management capability of the organization

    -organization compensation and benefit package with respect market rate.

    -organization culture survey

    -HR BUDGET / ACTUAL

    -HR COSTS BENCHMARK EXTERNALLY

    -HR annual resource plan.

    -skills/ competency level

    etc

    2.Operational Perspective — the operational tasks at which HR must excel. This piece of the Balanced Scorecard provides answers to queries about the effectiveness and efficiency in running HR processes that are vital to the organization. Examples include measuring HR processes in terms of cost, quality and cycle time such as time to fill vacancies.

    EXAMPLES

    -time taken to fill vacancies

    -cost per recruitment promotions

    -absenteeism by job category

    -accident costs

    -accident safety ratings

    -training cost per employee

    -training hours per employee

    -average employee tenure in the company

    -lost time due to injuries

    -no. of recruiting advertising programs

    -no. of employees put through training.

    -turnover rate

    -attrition rate

    etc

    3.Financial Perspective — this perspective tries to answer questions relating to the financial measures that demonstrate how people and the HR function add value to the organization. This might include arriving at the value of the human assets and total people expenses for the company. HR

    EXAMPLES

    -compensation and benefits per employee

    -sales per employee

    -profit per employee

    -cost of injuries

    -HR expenses per employee

    -turnove cost

    -employee '' workers compensation costs''

    etc

    4.Customer Perspective — this focuses on the effectiveness of HR from the internal customer viewpoint. Are the customers of HR satisfied with their service; are service level agreements met; do the customers think they can get better service elsewhere? Conducting an HR customer survey might typically arrive at this.

    EXAMPLES

    -employee perception of the HRM

    -employee perception of the company , as an employer

    -customer/market perception of the company, as an employer.

    etc

    ================================================== ======

    RUBINA,

    HERE IS SOME USEFUL MATERIAL.

    REGARDS

    LEO LINGHAM

    “Key Result Areas” or KRAs refer to general areas of outcomes or outputs for which the department's role is responsible. A typical role targets three to five KRA.

    -------------------------------------------------

    Value of KRAs.

    Identifying KRAs helps individuals: ·

    - Clarify their roles

    -· Align their roles to the organisation’s business or strategic plan

    -· Focus on results rather than activities

    -· Communicate their role’s purposes to others

    -· Set goals and objectives

    -· Prioritize their activities,

    -and therefore improve their time/work management

    -· Make value-added decisions

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Description of KRAs

    Key result areas (KRAs) capture about 80% of the department's work role. The remainder of the role is usually devoted to areas of shared responsibility (e.g., helping team members, participating in activities for the good of the organisation).

    ================================================== ===============

    BEFORE YOU DEVELOP ''KRAs'', you must review the current the corporate

    *VISION STATEMENT

    *MISSION STATEMENT

    THEN YOU MUST REVIEW

    The senior management team's , based on the vision/ mission

    *CORPORATE OBJECTIVES

    *CORPORATE STRATEGY

    THEN YOU MUST REVIEW THE RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENT'S

    OBJECTIVES / STRATEGIES which are based on the established

    *CORPORATE OBJECTIVES

    *CORPORATE STRATEGY

    which in turn is converted into

    DEPARTMENTAL PLANS/STRATEGY

    ================================================== ====

    BASED ON THE

    the DEPARTMENTAL OBJECTIVES /STRATEGY.

    the job descriptions are written/re written/reviewed or revised

    as the situation may be.

    BEFORE YOU DEVELOP INDIVIDUAL'S KRAs

    YOU MUST WRITE DOWN THE JOB DESCRIPTIONS.

    Obstacles in formulating KRAs & KPIs for the firm

    Please give your valuable suggestions

    My Management asked to draft KRA & KPIs for all existing deptts.

    As Job Descriptions are mandatory for KRAs but all JDs need to be updated as per changing role & responsibility,

    With JDs, first of all
    1.Goals of the organization,
    2.deptt's KRAs and then
    3.Individual KRA & KPI should be formulated.

    Please correct me if I am wrong.

    And for formulation of the same I need to undersatand all deptt work flow through discussion with each deptt head.

    Here I do have few queries please guide me for clarification:-

    1. Is it possible to develop KRAs without deptts KRA ?
    2. What is Key performance Area and how it is different from KRA & KPI?
    3. The sequence of developing PMS is setting KRA,KPI and than Goals and than Deadlines.
    What is the role of Goals here and how to set goals.

    One more problem I am facing that line managers as well as top management is not interested to give time to discuss the same.

    They just give me work to do but don’t cooperate.

    And whatever JDs has been formulated by me are not upto the mark as per my understanding because of the lack of information provided to me by deptt. head.
    As I analyzed that all employees doing lot of work than written in the jds.
    So if I draft kRAs on the basis of JDs these would be inaccurat
