Dear friend,

There is nothing like "KRA Methodology". You need to institute a "Performance Management System" (PMS). Instituting PMS is a far more serious business. I have given a reply to a similar post. Click the following link to refer to the reply:

Though the heading of the post is for IT companies, the above reply is applicable to all types of industries. In the provided link, you will find several other related links.

Go through all the links patiently. It will improve your awareness of the subject.

Sample KPI and KRA Manual: - You may click here to refer to it. It includes some of the KPIs applicable to the real estate industry as well.

Videos on PMS: - To clarify on PMS, I have uploaded the following videos:

Dear All,

I have recently joined a trading company (Company size is 170) where I am responsible for designing the entire HR policies, rules, and regulations, etc. Since the company is in the trading sector, a significant portion of the staff (approximately 40%) is illiterate, i.e., they can't fill out the self-appraisal forms. Additionally, we can't rely on their superiors for accurate feedback.

The management has tasked me with creating the simplest Performance Management System (PMS) policy for employees. Could anyone please suggest how I should proceed with this? Also, please guide me on which method I should use for Performance Appraisal (PA). I need to maintain a uniform policy for the entire staff.

Thank you.

Dear Rakshak,

Setting targets for each department is not an easy task. It requires a study of systems and processes of each department. After studying, one needs to identify the costs and ratios associated with each department. Once these are identified, they need to be assigned to each HOD.

Please note that "industry experience" is no guarantee for developing expertise in measurement. I have seen the "Subject Matter Experts" of the specific industry having long experience but unable to devise the measures. Therefore, you need to hire someone who is a "measurement expert".

For further queries, feel free to contact me.

Dear Mr. Rohit Sabale,

It will not be ready-made. It is tailor-made according to the size of your company, business needs, and departmental objectives.

Option 1 - There are many posts by experts on how to design KRAs or KPIs and their important aspects. Please read them and prepare accordingly.

Option 2 - Hire a Consultant who can consult or train in preparing KRAs/KPIs.

Process for designing a KRA/KPI template.

First of all, you need to have your strategies for the financial year in place, such as budgets, targets, and achievements that you desire to accomplish your goals for the business success that year.

Secondly, you need to derive the line of managers from the supervisors upward as to who is reporting to whom, i.e., supervisors to line managers, line managers to managers, managers to departmental heads, and departmental head to the directors and so forth.

Therefore, the KRAs or KPIs of the Director get cascaded down the line for the goals that all need to achieve from the bottom. In other words, the KRA or KPI of the Supervisor is that of the Line Manager, and that of the Line Manager is the Managers, and so on. This would create a sync that all of us work towards a common goal. That is, if the bottom line does not perform, the top line would stagger. Therefore, all need to come to a common consensus before putting your KRAs and KPIs in place. This process is called Goal Setting, which happens at the beginning of the year and is based on your budgets, targets, and other initiatives that you put in place according to your Balanced Scorecard.

Next, once you put this in place, you come to a common agreement and sign off the papers at the beginning of the year and present them to your HR. Like this, all the KRAs and KPIs go to the custody of the HR right from the bottom-most person to the Top Management, including the Director. Normally, the Director is assessed by his CEO, etc.

Now, each category of the KRA is broken down into subparts for that particular department for all their activities, and you provide a particular weightage for the same to arrive at 100%. An example is as follows:

1. Driving Customer Satisfaction: 30%
2. Achieving Financial Results: 20%
3. Achieving Employee Satisfaction: 20%
4. Achieving Departmental Initiatives (Productivity): 20%
5. Overall Assessment by the Reporting Manager: 10%

The above is only a gist and a sample of where you need to focus on the four major factors of any business: Customer, Employee, Financial, and Departmental Initiatives, besides your direct reporting manager's assessment of you (in the form of an appraisal).

Each initiative is now given a weightage score based on a template as follows:

1. Supersedes above Targets - 5
2. Above Target - Marks - 4
3. On Target - Marks - 3
4. Below Target - Marks - 2
5. Significantly below Target - 1

Now, put this on an Excel sheet and give your scores based on the achievements, which are normally done at the end of the year once you have all results in place, such as P&L Account, Customer Satisfaction Results, Productivity Results, and Employee Engagement Results, and so forth.

You may get the overall result, and the incentives can be derived accordingly based on the individual's achievements. Normally, there is also a mid-year review that happens in some organizations to assess how the performance is in the middle of the year so as to make course corrections if necessary. Deriving the results must be as per the documented final reports of the organization at the end of the year, normally signed off by the CEO or Top Management so that there is no bias, as the reporting manager has only 10% in providing his assessment of his reportee, which again would be based on certain soft skills or leadership qualities.

I trust this gives a simple guideline to derive your templates.

Dear Jerry Anthony,

This post is on the MS Excel Workbook that you have shared. I have gone through the contents of the first worksheet and found glaring anomalies. These are as below:

a) Column B has the heading "KRA/KPI". This is incorrect as the heading implies that KRA and KPI are the same, which is not the case.

b) Some of the performance standards are not measurable at all, yet they are being passed off as measurable.

c) The formula to calculate "Result" should be [(target/actual)*weight]*100. In the first example, since the target was equal to actual, the calculation error was nullified. However, in the second example, since the proper formula was not used, the score is coming to 30% instead of 60%. This would be a gross injustice to the employee.

Do you use this worksheet in your company, or have you downloaded it from somewhere and uploaded it to this forum?

I have provided consulting services to establish a comprehensive Performance Management System (PMS). I am writing this post based on my experience in providing consulting services to several companies.

KRA stands for Key Responsibility Areas. These are defined as the specific areas in a job profile an employee is expected to work on. It is a fixed outline for each job position that acts as a scope for the employee. It is a description of the job profile designed by the organization. A description of some of the most important duties of the employee's role and how it serves the organization's strategic goals/objectives.

KRA stands for Key Result Area, and KPI stands for Key Performance Indicator. Both of these metrics are important measures for efficiency in an organization. KPI denotes a quantifiable metric for a defined objective/set goal.

Sure, I can provide you with some guidance on designing KRA (Key Result Area) methodology for your organization. Here are some steps to follow:

Define the department goals: The first step is to define the goals of each department. This will help in identifying the key result areas for each department.

Identify the key result areas: Once the goals of each department are defined, identify the key result areas that are critical for achieving those goals. Key result areas could be related to productivity, efficiency, customer satisfaction, quality, etc.

Develop performance indicators: Develop performance indicators for each key result area. Performance indicators should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.

Set targets: Set targets for each performance indicator. The targets should be challenging yet achievable.

Monitor progress: Monitor the progress of each department against the targets set for each performance indicator. This will help in identifying areas that need improvement.

Provide feedback: Provide regular feedback to each department on their performance. This will help in motivating them to achieve the targets set for each key result area.

Review and revise: Review the KRA methodology periodically and revise it if necessary. This will help in keeping it relevant and effective.

When designing the KRA methodology, it's important to involve the department heads and employees in the process. This will ensure that the KRAs are relevant, achievable, and aligned with the organization's goals.

Good luck!

Designing a KRA methodology for a startup organization involves several key steps. Start by understanding the organization's goals and then identify the key result areas (KRAs) for each department. These KRAs should be specific, measurable, and relevant to the department's responsibilities. Set SMART objectives that align with the KRAs and involve department heads and employees in the process to ensure their input and commitment.

Connect individual job roles to the departmental KRAs, making sure each employee's KRA contributes to the department's objectives. Establish performance metrics or key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure progress. Regularly review and update the KRAs to adapt to changing business needs, providing feedback and support to employees.

Ensure a cascading effect of KRAs, starting from top management down to individual employees. Communicate the KRAs and objectives clearly to all employees, emphasizing how their work contributes to the organization's success. Monitor and evaluate progress towards KRAs through performance reviews and appraisals.

A robust KRA methodology aligns departmental objectives with the organization's goals, enhances performance, and drives success. Stay flexible and adaptable to accommodate changes in the business environment. By following these steps, you can effectively design KRAs for each department in your startup organization.

Hi Franidhar,

Designing Key Result Areas (KRAs) for a small-sized construction firm involves identifying specific areas that are critical for the company's success. Here's a step-by-step guide along with additional recommendations for improving the performance management system and implementing training initiatives:

Framing KRAs for a Small Construction Firm:
Understand Business Goals:
Align KRAs with the overall business objectives of the construction firm.
Identify key performance indicators that directly contribute to the success of the company.
Collaborate with Stakeholders:
Involve key stakeholders, including project managers, team leads, and department heads, in the KRA identification process.
Ensure that KRAs are relevant to each department's responsibilities.
Prioritize Key Areas:
Focus on critical functions such as project delivery, safety, quality control, client satisfaction, and financial management.
Prioritize KRAs based on their impact on overall company performance.
Quantifiable Metrics:
Establish clear, quantifiable metrics for each KRA to facilitate objective measurement.
Examples may include project completion time, safety incident rates, client feedback scores, and profit margins.
Regular Review and Adjustment:
Regularly review and update KRAs to ensure they remain relevant and aligned with the evolving needs of the business.
Be flexible to adjust KRAs based on project-specific requirements.

Improving Performance Management System:
Implement Regular Performance Reviews:
Conduct regular performance reviews to assess individual and team achievements against KRAs.
Use these reviews as opportunities for feedback, goal setting, and skill development.
Provide Continuous Feedback:
Establish a culture of continuous feedback between employees and managers.
Encourage open communication about goals, challenges, and opportunities for improvement.
Recognition and Rewards:
Implement a recognition and rewards system to acknowledge outstanding performance.
Tie rewards to achievement of specific KRAs and overall business objectives.
Technology Integration:
Utilize performance management software to streamline the evaluation process and maintain a digital record of employee performance.
Leverage analytics for insights into performance trends and areas for improvement.

Training Initiatives:
Skills Gap Analysis:
Conduct a thorough skills gap analysis to identify areas where employees need additional training.
Tailor training programs to address specific skill deficiencies.
Offer Diverse Training Methods:
Provide a mix of on-the-job training, workshops, online courses, and mentorship programs.
Cater to different learning styles and preferences.
Leadership Development Programs:
Develop leadership training programs to nurture talent within the organization.
Focus on building both technical and soft skills for future leaders.
Cross-Functional Training:
Encourage cross-functional training to enhance collaboration and versatility among employees.
Foster a culture of knowledge-sharing and teamwork.
Monitor Training Effectiveness:
Regularly assess the effectiveness of training programs through feedback and performance metrics.
Adjust training initiatives based on the evolving needs of the workforce.
Invest in Employee Well-being:
Consider including programs that support employee well-being, such as stress management workshops or health and wellness initiatives. Successful implementation requires commitment from top management, effective communication, and a continuous improvement mindset. Regularly assess and adjust these initiatives based on feedback and changing business dynamics.
