PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ( PMS) Performance management system (PMS) is the heart of any " people management " process in organization. Organizations exist to perform. If people do not perform organizations don't survive. If people perform at their peak level organization can compete and create waves. Performance management is the process of creating a work environment or setting in which people are enabled to perform to the best of their abilities. Performance management is a whole work system that begins when a job is defined as needed. It ends when an employee leaves the organization. Most organizations focus on an annual evaluation process for employees and call that Performance Management. However, annual evaluations are often subjective and can lack specific measurements and supportive data to help the employee truly improve their behavior.
OBJECTIVES OF PMS A performance management system includes the following actions. •
Develop clear job descriptions.
•
Select appropriate people with an appropriate selection process.
•
Negotiate requirements and accomplishment-based performance standards, outcomes, and measures.
•
Provide effective orientation, education, and training.
•
Provide on-going coaching and feedback.
•
Conduct quarterly performance development discussions
•
Design effective compensation and recognition systems that reward people for their contributions
•
Provide promotional/career development opportunities for staff
•
Assist with exit interviews to understand WHY valued employees leave the organization
KEY BENEFITS OF PMS •
PM focuses on results, rather than behaviors and activities
•
Aligns organizational activities and processes to the goals of the organization
• • •
Cultivates a system-wide, long-term view of the organization A clear understanding of job expectations feedback about performance
•
Advice and steps for improving performance
•
Rewards for good performance
SETTING UP A PMS The goal of a performance management system is to help boost employee performance and, ultimately, the productivity of the business. For it to be effective, a performance management system should incorporate the following critical elements: Updated job description Job descriptions should clearly describe the employee's current duties and performance expectations. Position descriptions should be specific, clearly defining the job function, required skills, deadlines and goals, and should delineate expectations for the employee's relations with peers and customers Guidelines for Improvement Institute basic policies to cope with employee weaknesses and poor performance. Decide if we will provide training or mentoring for employees exhibiting subpar performance. Set guidelines that outline how long it should it take an employee to improve and what steps will be taken if the employee fails to show improvement Employee Input Solicit and evaluate staff suggestions for the performance management program. Incorporate employee input into the program or system as needed Compensation and Rewards When the employees perform well they should be compensated. Rewards keep morale high, generate loyalty and foster additional improvement. But closely linking pay hikes and promotions to performance appraisals is a contested issue. Regardless of how and when you choose to compensate your employees, an above-average appraisal deserves acknowledgment. Make sure they should be consistently reward employees for their hard work.
PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL Performance appraisal which is also known as employee appraisal is one of the major part of performance management system to reach organizational goals and appraise employees.It is a method by which the job performance of an employee is evaluated (generally in terms of quality, quantity, cost and time). Performance appraisal is a part of career developments
Generally, the aims of a scheme are: •
Give
feedback on performance to employees. •
Identify employee training needs.
•
Document criteria used to allocate organizational rewards.
•
Form a basis for personnel decisions: salary increases, promotions, disciplinary actions, etc.
•
Provide the opportunity for organizational diagnosis and development.
•
Facilitate communication between employee and administrator.
•
Validate selection techniques and human resource policies to meet federal Equal Employment Opportunity requirements.
DEVELOPING A GOOD APPRAISAL SYSTEM End of the year appraisals are always a matter of heartburn and disgruntlement among employees. It is only very rarely that all employees find the appraisal system fair and reflective of their real performance. For managements too, conducting such appraisals is a matter of trepidation. This is more so for companies that are still to develop a strong
performance evaluation system. But appraisals have to be done and they are critical for rewarding and retaining talent. They are also important for attracting talent as good performance evaluation systems help to build the employer brand.. Here are some suggestions for creating and implementing a fair, accurate, and discerning employee review system: •
Document everything
•
Set clear goals
•
Make the process user-friendly
•
Allow for flexibility
•
Make it participatory
•
Set achievable goals
•
Adjust your business plan
VARIOUS KINDS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEMS Personality based performance appraisal system: Here the appraiser is supposed to rate the personality traits of the person being appraised. This is not in much in organisations as it very subjective and judgmental. It could also be biased and prejudiced.
Competence based performance appraisal system: Here the job analysis is used and the employee is appraised for the skills he exhibits. For e.g. if his job entails dealing with the clients then he is judged foe his effectiveness in dealing with them. This enables both the organisation and the employee as to what deficiencies are to be overcome and can be useful in providing training to the employee to better his performance. Result based performance appraisal system: This system concentrates on the final results achieved by the employee irrespective of his personality or deficiencies. This is totally related to the job and concentrates on the end results that are more important to the organization. Thus Performance Appraisal is the process to establish the competency and the learning gap in addition to reward system. Performance increment would depend on the performance appraisal input for the department and the management for decision making. Human Resources would craft the notice and letter to communicate to the employees. This is also an important issue. Human Resources is the corporate communicator and is responsible for employees communication.
360 DEGREE PERFORMANCE APPRAISALS 360 degree feedback, also known as 'multi-rater feedback', is the most comprehensive appraisal where the feedback about the employees’ performance comes from all the sources that come in contact with the employee on his job. 360 degree respondents for an employee can be his/her peers, managers (i.e. superior), subordinates, team members, customers, suppliers/ vendors - anyone who comes into contact with the employee and can provide valuable insights and information or feedback regarding the “on-the-job” performance of the employee.
Why It's Important Measures a leader's skill in the 22 Core and Adaptive leadership competencies most critical for job performance. Leaders rate themselves and receive ratings from their peers, supervisor(s), subordinates and others (such as customers). This process increases self-awareness and drives skill development. Results are delivered in a report that highlights strengths, areas for improvement, and differences/similarities in views of behavior. Report includes e-learning featuring clips of Hollywood movies, television, and historical events plus a complete online Goal Tracking System to ensure lasting change. 360 degree appraisal has four integral components: 1. Self appraisal 2. Superior’s appraisal 3. Subordinate’s appraisal 4.peer appraisal.
Self appraisal gives a chance to the employee to look at his/her strengths and weaknesses, his achievements, and judge his own performance. Superior’s appraisal forms the traditional part of the 360 degree appraisal where the employees’ responsibilities and actual performance is rated by the superior. Subordinates appraisal gives a chance to judge the employee on the parameters like communication and motivating abilities, superior’s ability to delegate the work, leadership qualities etc. Also known as internal customers, the correct feedback given by peers can help to find employees’ abilities to work in a team, co-operation and sensitivity towards others.
Self assessment is an indispensable part of 360 degree appraisals and therefore 360 degree Performance appraisal have high employee involvement and also have the strongest impact on behavior and performance. It provides a "360-degree review" of the employees’ performance and is considered to be one of the most credible performance appraisal methods. 360 degree appraisal is also a powerful developmental tool because when conducted at regular intervals (say yearly) it helps to keep a track of the changes others’ perceptions about the employees. A 360 degree appraisal is generally found more suitable for the managers as it helps to assess their leadership and managing styles.
PAHARPUR 3P’S PMS SYSTEM Performance Philosophy Paharpur 3p strongly believes that people are valuable and critical for its success and the success of the organization depends on creating an environment in which the performance of people is valued. This would require the organization to be able to distinguish between performers & non-performers. Creating a “performance” culture would also mean that it would encourage, provide counsel and reasonable support for non performers to join the main stream of performers and demonstrate the performance levels required. The PMS system is a tool to enable building a Performance Culture within the Company.
The Key Drivers of the PMS The Mission, Vision and Values of the company set the contour for the way the company operates. The PMS system reinforces these beliefs.

RATING METHOD FOLLOWED AT PAHARPUR 3-P FOR PMS Graphic rating method Graphic rating scales are one of the most common methods of performance appraisal. Graphic rating scales require an evaluator to indicate on a scale the degree to which an employee demonstrates a particular trait, behavior, or performance result. Rating forms are composed of a number of scales, each relating to a certain job or performance-related dimension, such as job knowledge, responsibility, or quality of work. Each scale is a continuum of scale points, or anchors, which range from high to low, from good to poor, from most to least effective, and so forth. Rating scale : 1to 3 Where 1 being the least and 3 being the highest scale. This scaling rates have following characteristics • • •
Performance dimensions are clearly defined. Scales are behaviorally based so that a rater is able to support all ratings with objective, observable evidence Points, or anchors, on each scaled dimension are brief, unambiguous, and relevant to the dimension being rated
Advantages to company 1.Standardization of content permitting comparison of employees. 2. Ease of development use and relatively low development and usage cost. 3. Reasonably high rater and ratee acceptance BARS - Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales Behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) are rating scales whose scale points are defined by statements of effective and ineffective behaviors.
