Hi Fatch
Goals are set for the purpose of achieving the Key Results, after identifying the possible Key Result Areas.
It is the responsibility of the HR to identify the Key Result Areas and align organisational goals with the same so that individual performance goals are arrived at
Ask for any help to take this further...

MRS. FATCH,

I have listed below

-what is a goal in an organization / how it is set.

-what is an objective in an organization/ how it is set

and how it is derived from the goal.

-what are KRAs/KPAs/KPIs in an organization/ how it is set

and how it is derived from the goal/ OBJECTIVES.

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

GOAL

-for an organization, is a desired state of affairs based on

the current situation and the forecasted conditions/ assumptions.

EXAMPLE-- BE THE NUMBER ONE COMPANY IN TERMS OF

MARKET SHARE IN THE INDUSTRY.

COCA COLA wants to be number one cola company in the

world.

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

OBJECTIVE

-for an organization, is the most desired outcome based on

the current situation and the forecasted conditions / assumptions.

EXAMPLE-- BE THE NUMBER ONE COMPANY, with 51% , IN TERMS OF

MARKET SHARE IN THE INDUSTRY.

COCA COLA wants to be number one cola company in the

world, with 51%.

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

WHAT ARE

''KRA'' AND ''KPA'' AND ''KPI''

Key Result Areas

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

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

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).

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

KRAs [ KEY RESULT AREAS are managed by

-KPAs [ KEY PERFORMANCE AREAS]

AND -KPIs [KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS]

KEY PERFORMANCE AREAS

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 COMPANY'S



*VISION STATEMENT

*MISSION STATEMENT

*CORPORATE OBJECTIVES

*CORPORATE STRATEGY

*CORPORATE BUSINESS UNITS/ DEPARTMENTAL PLANS/STRATEGY.

FOR THE BUDGET PERIOD, WHICH IS USUALLY 12 MONTHS.

HIREN,

I HAVE COLLECTED INFORMATION FROM MY FILES.

SOME OF THESE INFORMATION IS ALREADY ON CITEHR.

Key Result Areas [ KRAs ]

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

KEY PERFORMANCE AREAS

These are the areas within the business , where an

individual or group, is logically responsible / accountable

for the results.

KRAs [ KEY RESULT AREAS are managed by

-KPAs [ KEY PERFORMANCE AREAS]

-KPIs [KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS]

To manage each KRA, KPIs are set .

KRA and hence KPI is attributed to the person who

can have effect on the business results and is

self measured where applicable.

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

Key Result Areas [ KRAs ]

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

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

Key result areas (KRAs) capture about 80% of a 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).

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

I am going to use HR DEPARTMENT as an example.

CORE KRAs for HR

-RECRUITMENT/ SELECTION

-WORKFORCE PLANNING/ DIVERSITY

-PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENTA

-REWARD MANAGEMENT

-WORKPLACE MANAGEMENT AND RELATIONS

-SAFETY AND HEALTH WORKPLACE

-BUILDING CAPABILITIES AND ORGANIZATION LEARNING

-EFFECTIVE HR MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS , SUPPORT AND MONITORING

THE IMPORTANCE AND WEIGHTAGE OF THESE ELEMENTS IS

-GUIDED BY THE

*VISION STATEMENT

*MISSION STATEMENT

*CORPORATE OBJECTIVES

*CORPORATE STRATEGY

*CORPORATE BUSINESS UNITS/ DEPARTMENTAL PLANS/STRATEGY.

AND COULD CHANGE YEAR BY YEAR AS PER THE BOARD DIRECTIVES.

THIS WOULD BE REFLECTED IN THE

-KPAs --KEY PERFORMANCE AREAS

-KPIs -- KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

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

KRAs, KPAs and KPI [shown in brackets ] for HR.

KRA 1 -RECRUITMENT/ SELECTION

KPA 1- RECRUITMENT [KPI= average time taken per employee 2 months]

KPA 2 -SELECTION [ KPI = average cost per new employee RS 10,000]

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

KRA 2 - WORKFORCE PLANNING/ DIVERSITY

KPA 1 - ANSENTEEISM [ KPI = absent rate at 5%]

KPA 2- TURNOVER [ KPI = turnover rate at 7%]

KPA 3- DIVERSITY [ KPI = 3 FEMALES TO BE INDUCTED INTO MANAGEMENT CADRE]

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

KRA 3- PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

KPA 1 - PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS [KPI = all staff to be appraised at least once annually]

KPA 2 -SUCCESSION PLANNING [ KPI = 8 POTENTAL staff to be identified and talent managed]

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

KRA 4 - REWARD MANAGEMENT

KPA 1- MARKET ORIENTED SALARY STRUCTURING [ KPI = total compensation to sales 12%]

KPA 2 -BENEFITS PLANNING [ KPI = 6% of total salary bill]

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

KRA 5 - WORKPLACE MANAGEMENT AND RELATIONS

KPA 1 -JOB EVALUATIONS [ KPI = 600 lower staff , below grade 4 to be evaluated]

KPA 2 - EMPLOYEE COMMUNICATIONS [ KPI = 4 newsletter on intranet,one per quarter ]

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

KRA 6 - SAFETY AND HEALTH WORKPLACE

KPA 1 - SAFETY [ KPI = accident safety ratings, benchmark with industry]

KPA 2 - HEALTH [KPI = actual health expenditure vs budget ]

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

KRA 7 - BUILDING CAPABILITIES AND ORGANIZATION LEARNING

KPA 1 - TRAINING [ KPI = average training hours per employee annually= 24 hours]

KPA 2 - MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT [ KPI =average MD cost per employee annually= 16000 RS]

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

KRA 8 - EFFECTIVE HR MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS , SUPPORT AND MONITORING

KPA 1- HRIS [ KPI = finalize the software . RS 1.2 million capital budget]

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

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE FOR INDIVIDUALS.

AGAIN I AM USING HR DEPARTMENT.

FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH HR DEPARTMENT,

-you should take the job description of the individual

-determine the KRAs for the year

-identify the KPAs for the year [ which could change yearly]

-determine the KPI for each KPA, which depends on the company annual

objectives.

HERE IS THE EXAMPLE for a recruitment officer

KRA 1

-RECRUITMENT/ SELECTION

KPA 1 --RECRUITMENT

KPI ----reduce average time taken to fill vacancies by 15%

KPI ----reduce average cost per recruit by 10%

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

HR Key Performance Indicators

Frequently used HR Key Performance Indicators include:

FTE = full time employees [only]

Revenue per Employee (FTE)

Assets per FTE

Training Hours per FTE

Training Costs per FTE

HR Department Cost per FTE

FTEs per HR Department FTE

Acceptance Rate

Average Cost per Hire

Absence Rate

Turnover Rate

Resignation Rate

Human Investment Ratio

Thanks a million, Leo. You have given both the macro and micro picture very well. It will take some time to digest but from first impression it seems that Training and Development is missing. Is "Building capabilities and Organization learning" a substitute for Training and Development?

Gone through the discussions given above . interesting I still have a few questions but. can anybody clarify ?
-what is the sequence KPA , KRA Goal . what are the steps involved . where do you start from
- which one of the above terms should be SMART.
-KPI - is performance indicator of which of the above term
-which of the above terms you need to measure & therefore identify measures .
if HR function can be broadly divided into following three sub-functions - talent acquisition ,talent management , talent development , an each sub function can be further divided into multiple sub function , how take one of the sub function , let us talent Acquisition & put in the sequence.
