Dear All,
Can any body please explain me the difference between work Profile and KRA.
here is my understanding.
Work profile is something which you do on a regular basis.
KRA is the list of Specific Targets or Tasks which has been assigned to the individual to accomplish in a given period of time (say quarterly)
Can somebody please clarify

Hi,
What you have mentioned is right. As far as my knowledge is concerned,
Work Profile is more related to the Job Description of an employee and KRA to specific projects or assignments and the out put of which will be considered for hikes/promotions and assesed during Performance Appraisal.
Work Profile/Job Description is fixed across designations but KRA's are customised or Tailor Made according to individuals and they are basically drawn from Job Description.
Thanks,
Divya.

WORK PROFILE AND KRAs
Key Result Areas
“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).
