KPIs, Work flow & 
evaluating performances
KPIs 
• Key Performance Indicators, also known as 
KPI or Key Success Indicators (KSI), help an 
organization define and measure progress 
toward organizational goals. 
• KPIs serve to reduce the complex nature of 
organizational performance to a small number 
of key indicators to make it more digestible for 
us.
Examples 
• When you go to your doctor he might measure 
blood pressure, cholesterol levels, heart rate and 
body mass index as key indicators of your health. 
• With KPIs we try to do the same in organization.
Must be Key To Organizational Success 
• Many things are measurable. 
• That does not make them key to the 
organization's success. 
• Note: 
• In selecting Key Performance Indicators, It is 
critical to limit them to those factors that are 
essential to the organization reaching its goals.
Number of KPIs 
• It is important to keep the number of Key 
Performance Indicators small. 
• It is to keep everyone’s attention focused on 
achieving the same KPIs.
Performance Management Tool 
• A Carrot 
• KPIs are used as performance Management 
tool. 
• KPIs gives everyone in the organization a clear 
picture of what is important, of what they need 
to make happen
KPI targets 
• Post the KPIs everywhere 
• In the lunch room 
• On the walls of every conference room 
• On Department’s web site 
• Show what the target for each KPI is and show the 
progress toward that target for each of them? 
• People will be motivated to reach those KPI 
targets.

WORK FLOW PROCESS 
A workflow process is a series of 
tasks or events, the order in 
which they must be performed.
Work Flow Management 
• It is a system of overseeing the process of 
passing information, documents and tasks from

A flow chart Tools 
• Circles, which signify the start or end of a process 
• Rectangles, show instructions and actions 
• Diamonds show decisions that must be made.

Need of Performance Management 
• In an organization that lacks an objective 
performance measurement system motivational

needs that will help them strengthen their job-related 
skills and competencies 
• Prioritizing and developing a plan of action to 
achieve the set targets 
• Develop tools to facilitate the employees plan 
their personal development goals.
Checking (Continuous Monitoring) 
• Checking means gap analysis. 
• It includes conducting ongoing reviews where 
employees’ performance is quantitatively measured 
against the set standards to see how well they are 
meeting the set goals. 
• Performance rating is done through the quantitative 
data before the time of actual performance appraisal. 
• For low performance, and immediate plan of action 
is taken. 
• A Process of regular feedback is facilitated
Acting (Performance Evaluation) 
• Acting includes evaluating job performance 
against the standards in the employee’s 
performance plan. 
• Assigning a rating to the employee based on 
work performed during the entire appraisal 
period.

“People have a tremendous capacity for 
outstanding achievement. There are 
also many extraordinary capacities that 
allow them to become high achievers.” 
Steve Brunkhors
ABILITY 
• Ability is the person's aptitude, as well as the 
training and resources supplied by the 
organization 
• Motivation is the product of desire and 
commitment
• 100% motivation and 75% ability 
• can often achieve above-average performance. 
• 100% motivation and 25% ability 
• won't be able to achieve the type of 
performance you expect, regardless of his or 
her level of motivation.
Diagnosing Poor Performance 
• First understand cause…………. 
• Then fix problem of poor performance!!!!!! 
• Does it come from lack of ability 
• Or low motivation?
How To Judge Low Ability? 
• Low ability may be associated with the 
following: 
• Over-difficult tasks. 
• Low individual aptitude, skill, and knowledge. 
• Evidence of strong effort, despite poor 
performance. 
• Lack of improvement over time.
People with low ability 
• May have been poorly matched with jobs in the 
first place. 
• They may have been promoted to a position 
that's too demanding for them. 
• Or may be they no longer have the support that 
previously helped them to perform well.
• Remember, the employee's performance is not 
intentionally poor – he or she simply lacked the 
skills for the position. 
• Your goal is to develop the employee, meet 
operational needs, and provide meaningful and 
rewarding work to everyone involved.
Exercise-3.2.2

• Need of performance monitoring-why? 
• How to monitor?-Tools.
