Dear Gk,

The info on KRA & KPI & KPA

''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. 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). 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. =Now I will use HR department as a case study for our purpose. THE CORE KRAs of HR DEPARTMENT ARE

-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

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

EVALUATION OF HR DEPARTMENT

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

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

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF KRAs, KPAs and KPIs FOR HR DEPT.,

CORPORATE OBJECTIVE / STRATEGY

-improve the company competitive positioning and productivity

by 10%.

HR DEPARTMENT'S OBJECTIVE

-Achieve high productivity level in all activities [ say by 10%]

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%

KRA 2

-WORKPLACE MANAGEMENT

KPA 1-labour turnover

KPI ---reduce the labor turnover by 20%

KPI ----benchmark total HR COSTS externally.

KRA 3

-SAFETY AND HEALTH WORKPLACE

KPA 1 ---workplace accidents

KPI ----reduce workplace accidents by 10%

KRA 4

-BUILDING CAPABILITIES AND ORGANIZATION LEARNING

KPA 1 ----TRAINING

KPI --- ALL WORKFORCE below middle management should

receive a minimum of 4 days of training.

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

THIS IS , ROUGHLY, HOW HR DEPARTMENTS

KRAs / KPAs / KPIs ARE SET , MONITORED AND

EVALUATED.

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

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%

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

FOR OTHER DEPARTMENTS, YOU SHOULD REVIEW

Typical key result areas at the corporate and some functional levels.

JUST LIKE HR DEPARTMENT'S KRAs AND KPIs,

A COMPANY CAN DEVELOP KRA AND KPI

FOR OTHER FUNCTIONAL DEPARTMENTS.

SOME EXAMPLES

1. CORPORATION AS A WHOLE

-corporate objective / actual results

-sales growth %

-gross profit % of sales

-market share growth %

-return on assets

-return on investment

-corporate image index improvement

etc etc

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

2.MANUFACTURING

- Unit volume level

- unit cost target

-production efficiency improvement

-productivity improvement

-quality improvement index

-capacity utilization

etc etc

==================================== MARKETING

-market share %

-new product launches success

open-ended questionnaires

job observations

incumbent work logs

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

FOURTH STEP ---ANALYSIS OF THE JOB.

What Aspects of a Job Are Analyzed?

Job Analysis should collect information on the following areas:

Duties and Tasks The basic unit of a job is the performance of specific tasks and duties. Information to be collected about these items may include: frequency, duration, effort, skill, complexity, equipment, standards, etc.

Environment This may have a significant impact on the physical requirements to be able to perform a job. The work environment may include unpleasant conditions such as offensive odors and temperature extremes. There may also be definite risks to the incumbent such as noxious fumes, radioactive substances, hostile and aggressive people, and dangerous explosives.

Tools and Equipment Some duties and tasks are performed using specific equipment and tools. Equipment may include protective clothing. These items need to be specified in a Job Analysis.

Relationships Supervision given and received. Relationships with internal or external people.

Requirements The knowledges, skills, and abilities (KSA's) required to perform the job. While an incumbent may have higher KSA's than those required for the job, a Job Analysis typically only states the minimum requirements to perform the job.

What does or should the person do?

What knowledge, skill, and abilities does it take to perform this job?

What is the result of the person performing the job?

How does this job fit in with other jobs in the organization?

What is the job’s contribution toward the organization’s goals?

The process may seek to obtain information about the:

work

worker

context within which the job exists

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

FIFTH STEP - DEVELOPING JOB DESCRIPTORS

Worker Functions. The relationship of the worker to data, people, and things.

Work Fields. The techniques used to complete the tasks of the job. Over 100 such fields have been identified. This descriptor also includes the machines, tools, equipment, and work aids that are used in the job.

Materials, Products, Subject Matter, and/or Services. The outcomes of the job or the purpose of performing the job.

Worker Traits. The aptitudes, educational and vocational training, and personal traits required of the worker.

Physical Demands. Job requirements such as strength, observation, and talking. This descriptor also includes the physical environment of the work.

skills

abilities

knowledge

tasks

work activities

work context

experience levels required

job interests

work values/needs

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

SIXTH STEP -- DEVELOPING JOB DESCRIPTIONS/JOB SPECIFICATIONS

There are as many different formats for job descriptions as there are jobs, but there are some basic pieces of information that most job descriptions have. Include them in yours, if you feel they are appropriate.

Job Scope . This section should contain a brief summary of the information found in more detail elsewhere in the description. A summary shouldn't be more than a few sentences long and should explain the main purposes and functions of the job.

Detailed duties and responsibilities. This is a more detailed description of the duties involved and separates the essential functions of the job from the incidental job functions for purposes of the PMS.

Accountabilities. A list of outcomes, the position is responsible for.

Skills required to perform the job. This can include compensable factors such as education, experience, and abilities.

Importance of job duties and tasks. Ranking the duties from most important to least important is a good way to convey this information since the task that consumes the most time is not necessarily the most important task. You can rank on a scale of one to 10, for example.

When and how often the tasks are performed. You might want to mention that certain tasks are only done once a month, quarter, year etc.

Job environment. Job environments can impact significantly on workers' motivation and job satisfaction. For example, it's a good idea to include in job descriptions factors like the fact that the work is done off-premises, or mention the existence of hazards, noises, physical proximity of other employees, and opportunities to communicate with other employees. Including these factors in the job description helps job applicants better understand the requirements of the job and helps you select the best candidate for the position.

Working Relationship. should include 1] direct reporting 2] dotted line communication 3]others.

Competencies.

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

THINGS TO REMEMBER WHILE DEVELOPING ''PMS''

Possible Outcomes from Effective Performance Management [PMS]

�� Clarifying job responsibilities and expectations.

�� Enhancing individual and group productivity.

�� Developing employee capabilities to their fullest extent through effective feedback

and coaching.

�� Driving behavior to align with the organization’s core values, goals and strategy.

�� Providing a basis for making operational human capital decisions (e.g., pay).

�� Improving communication between employees and managers.

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

Guidelines for Establishing Effective Performance Goals

�� Goals must clearly define the end results to be accomplished.

�� To the extent possible, goals should have a direct and obvious link to organizational

success factors or goals.

�� Goals should be difficult, but achievable, to motivate performance.

�� Goals should be set in no more than three areas—attempting to achieve too many

different goals at once will impede success.

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

Guidelines for Providing Feedback Effectively

�� Provide immediate positive and developmental feedback in a private location.

�� Ask for the employee’s view about what could have been done differently.

�� Be specific about what behaviors were effective or ineffective.

�� Focus on what the person did or did not do, not personal characteristics.

�� Collaboratively plan steps to address development needs.

�� Offer help in addressing development needs and providing resources.

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

Guidelines for Writing Employee Accomplishments

�� Include the situation or circumstances faced by the employee.

�� Describe what specific actions the employee took to achieve results.

�� Describe the impact of the accomplishment on the work unit or organization.

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

Advantages of Performance Standards

�� Communicate key performance factors and expectations.

�� Show distinctions in effectiveness levels that help supervisors explain why an

employee was evaluated in a particular way.

�� Provide a job-relevant basis for evaluating employees, increasing fairness.

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

Cornerstones of Successful Implementation

�� Ensure alignment with other HR systems. �� Pilot test.

�� Get organizational members on board. �� Train employees and managers.

�� Communicate. �� Evaluate and improve.

�� Automate.

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

Performance Management Training Topics

�� Philosophy and uses of the system.

�� Description of the rating process.

�� Roles and responsibilities of employees and managers.

�� How to plan performance, set expectations and set goals.

�� How to provide accurate evaluations, minimizing rating errors and rating inflation.

�� The importance of ongoing, constructive, specific behavioral feedback.

�� How to seek feedback effectively from others.

�� How to react to and act on feedback in a constructive manner.

�� How to give feedback in a manner that minimizes defensiveness and maintains selfesteem.

�� How to identify and address development needs.

�� How to use the automated system and related software.

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

Guidelines for Addressing Legal Requirements

�� Employees must be evaluated on factors that are relevant to their jobs.

�� Employees must be informed about what is expected of them and the standards

against which they will be evaluated at the beginning of the rating cycle.

�� There must be a standard, well-documented procedure for how the performance

management process will be conducted, with defined roles and responsibilities for

employees and managers.

�� Managers and employees should be trained on the performance management

process and relevant skills required to implement the process effectively (e.g., training

for managers on how to provide feedback to employees).

�� Managers should keep records to document examples of effective and, especially,

ineffective employee performance to substantiate their evaluations.

�� Managers should be held accountable for discussing performance issues with

employees and providing them with feedback in a timely manner during the rating

cycle.

�� Performance evaluations should be reviewed by a higher-level manager or panel.

�� The organization should provide a process whereby employees can formally comment

on and appeal their performance evaluations.

�� If performance evaluations are used for decision-making, the evaluation should

be consistent with the decision. For example, individuals who receive higher pay

raises/bonuses should have higher performance ratings than those who receive

lower raises/bonuses.

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

TO DEVELOP A ''PMS'' STRATEGY THE CEO/SENIOR MANAGEMENT

SHOULD LAY THE GUIDELINES

-IS THE COMPANY STRIVING FOR ''EXCELLENCE''

OR

-IS THE COMPANY STRIVING FOR ''COMPETITIVE POSITIONING''

ETC ETC

Here are the 10 steps for developing an effective performance

management strategy.

The 10 Key Steps in developing an effective performance management strategy:

1. Define what’s driving the need for a performance management solution. Like

the financial institution mentioned above, is the goal of the program to put in place a

succession plan? Is it turning around a poorly performing institution ?

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

2. Determine your strategy for moving forward. For example, when Boeing realized

that it was losing ground to chief rival Airbus, the Chicago-based company looked at

the way its employees were organized. It saw that beating Airbus meant Boeing

would have to tap its extended enterprise—strategic partners outside the company, in

the same way that Airbus did. Boeing’s self-examination led to its strategy.

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

3. Align your business units with your strategy. In banking, mergers and acquisitions

happen at a frenetic pace. If your company has many business units, and some of

these are the result of newly acquired entities, then alignment becomes critical.

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

4. Agree on what kind of people you have in the company and what kind of

people you need. Don’t take it for granted that you know your employees’ skill sets.

A discussion with five different managers about an employee will lead to five different

opinions about his or her capabilities.

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

5. Evaluate employees on consistent criteria. If the rules by which you measure

success change, then you’ll never establish a baseline for employee performance.

And if you don’t have that, you can’t measure progress.

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

6. Close the loop and give workers a sense of how they fit into the company’s

strategy, or don’t. Create an open line of communication about the performance

management framework you’ve built. If you have a company intranet, use its home

page to discuss progress and strategy. If your workforce doesn’t have access to

computers, consider a direct-mail campaign that highlights progress. Schedule time

with your direct reports to explain to them how their individual contributions are

affecting a goal of, say, increased sales or improved customer service.

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

7. Give employees an opportunity for career growth. Once you’ve crafted your

strategy, aligned your business units and begun communicating goals to workers,

think about the opportunities this creates. As workers get excited about knowing the

company’s overall strategy and their part in it, they’ll want to know what they can do

to advance themselves professionally. Chart a path for workers to use to assume the

roles and responsibilities of the people they work for. Build their confidence with

developmental opportunities.

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

8. Link workers’ skills to the job roles. Look at not only the level of skill your

employees and managers possess but also the type of skills they have. For instance,

you may have a very competent accountant in your company who also possesses

fine writing skills. With an understanding of both finance and writing, she might make

an excellent addition to an investor relations department.

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

9. Encourage people to behave in a way that will carry the company’s goals

forward. Training will teach people the skills they need, but it won’t change behavior.

That happens when leaders within an organization show that they believe in a

performance management framework and they live it themselves.

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

10. Identify gaps and monitor these over time. Identify ways to coach and mentor.

And create a sense of accountability across your employees. Change unsettles many

people, but you can mitigate that uneasiness by putting in place a strategy that

demands that managers become engaged in the development of their charges. Make

your managers mentors, not disciplinarians. When performance gaps arise, see this

as a chance to build a stronger team, and not chastise someone for a shortcoming.

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

SOME USEFUL ADDITIONAL RESOURCES

Performance management System

Performance management system is a principal tool in achieving corporate objectives in that it links those objectives with employee goals and achievements. It focuses on improving performance through matching outcomes against individual, departments and organisational objectives, and to the training and development needs of employees at all organisational levels. Managers using performance management system effectively are generally more concerned with performance planning and improvement and performance assessment.



Performance management system is an accepted management practice operating within organizations because it can be a valuable process for employees and employers alike. It provides for both recognition of high performance and early detection of performance that is not meeting expectations, allowing prompt remedial action to be taken.

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

Benefits of performance management system

At a macro level performance management assists organisations to match outcomes with COMPANY objectives. It provides a system for improving ORGANIZATION performance and outcomes, within the COMPANY’s OBJECTIVES and policy framework, while maintaining good industrial relations. It generates benefits throughout organisational functions and processes.

Performance management system recognises that people are the organisation’s most valuable resource, and that people are the key to an innovative, professional and service-oriented public service. Performance management emphasises the relationship between the management and development of people and an effective organisation, and provides a fair and equitable environment for improving performance.

A performance management system

-links achievements at all levels of the organisation with corporate, business and DEPARTMENTAL objectives.

It provides the framework for:

·clarifying expectations, roles, responsibilities and resources required to achieve goals;

·improving communication and understanding between managers and employees in terms of work requirements, expectations, performance criteria and achievements;

*linking individual, team or unit performance with quality assurance, continuous improvement and evaluation processes of the organisation;

·facilitating, encouraging and assessing performance;

·encouraging structured feedback from employees and supervisors on performance and career planning and from the community on organisational performance;

·introducing an outcomes focused culture and increasing motivation;

·collecting data and information needed for management decision making or external review (eg by auditors);

·increasing the organisation’s capability to meet future requirements and to improve outcomes for the community;

·identifying performance which requires improvement; and

· recognising and acknowledging performance.

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

Performance management SYSTEM reflects the value of people to organisational performance, including:

1. performance of individuals / departments

2. employee skill levels / gaps if any.



3. employee position in the development plans.

4. corporate values, goals and ethical standards are clearly reflected in the performance management system;

5. Clear identification of expectations and responsibilities of individuals

6.employee allocated responsibility for ensuring improvement and performance strategies at all levels of the organisation.

7.specific expectations and responsibilities of managers, supervisors, teams and individuals for their role in the process.

8. Linking the individual’s contribution to organisational objectives

9. training and development are linked to the achievement of optimal organisational and individual performance;

10. the system is regularly reviewed, with particular attention given to key elements (eg process of reviewing individual performance; provision of helpful feedback; updating of key accountabilities, criteria and indicators; and training and development plans);

11. accountability is assigned to senior managers to ensure that performance, outcomes and training and development activities (relating to individuals, teams or units) are appropriate .

12. employee workplans contain agreed, clear and measurable performance criteria which are modified as changes occur in organisation policies, priorities or environment;

13. the system enables assessment of the individual’s contribution to the achievement of corporate goals;

14. transparent links exist between performance assessment and performance reward;

15. the system is clearly linked to the organisation’s strategic management framework and is not treated as an isolated function;

etc etc .



PMS provides

-as a valuable input to skills inventories for manpower planning;

-helps to identify what to pay and what will serve as an equitable monetary package;

-helps to clarify who could be trained

-helps to determine who could be promoted

-provides the development planning

Development planning is the process of creating experiences for your employees that promote skills and knowledge related to the position, as well as to professional growth.

Development plans draw from the Performance Evaluation:

Performance goals or needs (deficiencies) to be addressed

The employee, with supervisor assistance, identifies ways to achieve those goals and/or address performance deficiencies in systematic ways

Address opportunities for professional growth

Agreement and/or commitment between employee and supervisor

Planned follow-up

Such a system includes several components:

individual employee work plans,

work profile

development plans,

an education/training program,

a performance management and pay history.

Interim Performance Review

Annual Performance Review

THIS IS WHY IS ''PMS'' IS SO VITAL FOR THE

DEVELOPMENT OF HR PLANNING /MANPOWER PLANNING BECAUSE

IT PROVIDES THE BASIS/ BASIC/ FUTURE REQUIREMENTS

OF HUMAN RESOURCES.
