Continuous performance evaluation is an important process to remove unwanted and unnecessary processes and policies along with bridging the gap between the expected and the real performance scenario. It is a continuous process of coaching and feedback resulting in overall organizational growth. This process takes the performance appraisal and the organizational development to a whole new level. Though companies have started the using Performance Management applications, using the tool alone will not solve the problem. This minimizes the scope of manual errors and saves a lot of time otherwise wasted in pointless paperwork and follow-ups. This is a positive development. The feedbacks can now be “instant” and more effective than the manual process. But is that all? Would just changing the system change everything? The answer is no. Along with the right process and the software to back the process, it is very important that the managers and the management follow the right approach towards the change.

Get To Know the right approach towards change

2. Though companies use various Performance Management
tools, using a tool alone will not help if the process is
not effective.
Along with the right process and the software
to back the process, it is very important that
the managers and the management follow
the right approach towards the change.
WHAT IS THE
RIGHT APPROACH?

3. 01ANALYZE THE RIGHT
KIND OF PROCESS
An organization must have a system which
includes and assesses its core competencies and
the skills in the appraisal process.
This will help aligning employees towards goals and
reviewing on regular intervals for effectiveness.

4. 02KEEP THE PROCESS
TRANSPARENT
The evaluation process must be
openly communicated to all the
employees and allow feedback
during the initial phase so as to
make everyone at ease with the
process.

5. 03MANAGERS ACT AS COACHES:
REVIEWERS ACTING AS COACHES
Managers must be encouraged to act as
coaches to enable employee development and
increased work efficiency.
With the presence of a good manager, the
entire morale of the team will go up, going that
extra mile, without even telling when required.

6. 04TRAIN THE
REVIEWERS AND
REVIEWEES
The Reviewers must be trained to
plan, delegate, set goals, and to
confront performance related issues
in an unbiased and neutral way.
The Reviewees, on the other hand,
must be taught what to expect out
of such continuous process and how
the goal-setting will be managed
and monitored.

7. 05SET SHORT-TERM GOALS
Setting short-term goals and monitoring the
progress continuously gives a detailed knowledge
of the performance of the employee and the
process involved in achieving such goals.

8. 06REGULAR FEEDBACK
SESSION
Managers, peers can provide
instant feedback through email or any
other communication tool. If the
feedback is regular and beneficial, it
soon becomes a regular process.

9. 07CUSTOMIZED EMPLOYEE
DEVELOPMENT PLANS
Sit down with employees, hear out and
develop action plans for them. This will
help to boost the morale of employees
and reduce high turnover.

10. 08ALIGNING GOALS
Aligning employees goals to
organizational objectives helps the
employee understand role within
the company and increases
ownership and motivation.

11. 09S E P A R A T E T H E
C O M P E N S A T I O N A N D
P E R F O R M A N C E R E V I E W S
Performance reviews should not be linked with
compensation reviews otherwise employees will only
focus on their salary increments and promotions thus
defeating the purpose of conducting reviews.

12. 10DOCUMENTING
FEEDBACK TO
REMOVE BIAS
Recording feedback help
remove any memory bias
or remember extreme events.
The recorded data can then be
used to better appraise the
employees and provide them
with a better work environment.
