5 KRAs for Performance Appraisals
1. - A PUBLICATION OF GroSum-
AN INTRODUCTION TO
5 KRAs for
Performance
Appraisals
Key Responsibilities of a Performance Appraisal to make it more effective
3. Performance Appraisals are dying.
Employees & Managers don’t want to do anything anymore with the
annual review form.
What all this means is that there is a change happening or waiting to
happen.
And of course, a change, whether good or bad, is always evolved
from the needs of the times.
Fact says majority of Millennials
(66%) want informal feedback at
least weekly, if not monthly.
“ “
4. What will the future be?
Only 55% think that Employee Reviews are effective- Forbes
The future can be predicted to an extent, if not the whole.
For performance appraisals to continue to play a meaningful role in
employee development & recognition, there are certain key fundamentals
that need to be assured.
These are like the key responsibility areas of Performance Appraisals.
Yes, KRAs – that’s exactly what I am referring to.
If the Performance Review form is assigned certain well defined KRAs,
only then we can measure how effective its own performance has been.
Elementary, isn’t it?
And we haven’t done a great job of doing that till now. Have we?
5. KRAs of Performance Appraisals
Here, I am going to list the top 5 KRAs that Performance Appraisals
should always retain.
Pretty much like the hygiene factors.
Without these, the existence of performance reviews is futile.
We have identified these through our interactions with industry
practitioners over the last 12 years. Surprisingly, none talks about
managing the performance of performance reviews itself.
Anyways, without much ado, here are the top 5 KRAs.
“Hygiene Factors of performance appraisals”
7. 1. Personalized for each
employee.
The purpose of Performance Appraisal is to help the employee
improve.
This “help” that we refer to should typically include
•Feedback on job performance
•Identification of development needs – both functional & soft skills
•Recognition of outstanding efforts
•Alignment to individual career goals
Let’s stop here & again read back the bullet points above.
What is the common thread across the points?
Yes, it is all about the individual employee.
As it should always have been & be forever.
Key takeaway for Practitioners
Personalize, personalize, personalize the review process.
And even some more.
Stop not till the appraisal process is relevant to each & every employee.
Performance Appraisals have to be completely democratic.
9. 2. Focused on long term
employee career
aspirations too
There is a conflict of interest inherent to performance appraisals.
Organizations & Managers are focused on outcomes in the short term.
On the other hand, employees are typically more interested in where the road leads to in the
long term.
A big problem with performance appraisals is how it is mostly focused on immediate job
responsibilities & results, while being almost flippant on the long term outlook for the
employee’s career.
This is why employees are not great fans.
It’s not always clear to them how all that they are doing is related to their dreams.
Moreover, to add spice to the mix, these employees’ dreams are not permanent too. These
change with time.
Key takeaway for Practitioners
•Strive for balance
•Between short term results
•And long term career objectives of employees
A middle path that takes care of all stakeholders needs is important.
But it’s easy to start off – all it takes to get going is a conversation & a note taking. If Managers
can discuss the career objectives with individual employees on a regular basis, the employee
then feels being taken care of and much of the misgivings get mitigated.
So, start simple & evolve with feedback from the key stakeholders.
11. 3. Described by how
actual performance will
be measured/evaluated
It’s quite easy to set KRAs or goals.
It’s much more important to explain how performance will be actually measured on these.
For example, a driver of a car knows what he is primarily supposed to do.
But he also needs to know if his performance will be measured on speed, smooth ride or safety.
And importantly, this needs to be laid out upfront before he starts driving.
So, while employees are communicated their goals, they should also be made absolutely clear
on the key performance indicators & the methods used to measure.
Key takeaway for Practitioners
It is even easier to say & get away that actual measures for KRAs should be set.
But HOW is the question that should be answered with a lot of honesty and collaboration
between employees & management.
While for measurable KRAs like sales, on time delivery or defects, quantitative targets with the
measuring methods can be set. For example:
•Sales -> USD 5 Million new account booking
•On Time Delivery -> 99% of delivery instances with 5% threshold
•Defects -> 2% of Rejected Defects
However, most KRAs are subjective in nature – for example
•Employee Engagement, Personal Growth, Knowledge Management.
Rather than force set quantitative targets like 1 article per quarter that defeats the purpose of
the objective, these should be set against a set of desired outcomes & rated on an overall basis.
13. 4. Descriptive & objective
assessment
Employees hate to see themselves as a number.
A major irritation for all is the overwhelming need to quantify, rate & rank during performance
reviews.
On the other hand, Managers are not often equipped to quantify objectives or rate them
without bias.
All this leads to a numerical mayhem, frustration & guilt.
The real issue is that organizations believe the major outcome of performance reviews is to rank
employees, dole out increments and thus design their process accordingly.
In reality, the core objective of performance reviews is to help improve the employee. This often
gets missed out in implementation.
Key takeaway for Practitioners
If the performance appraisal process is personalized to each employee, then the focus should be
more on engaging discussions & constructive way forwards as critical outcomes of the process.
Yes, ratings of KRAs are important - especially on those that have quantifiable targets set.
But so also is the need for free flowing open discussions without worrying about the numerical
rating axe hanging overhead.
If this is built in as a core fundamental of the process, then the acceptance of Performance
Appraisal becomes an easier task.
15. 5. Weighted according to
priority as per employee’s
job responsibilities
There is no employee in the world with just a single KRA.
In today’s reality, each of us has multiple responsibilities & is expected to multi task.
Along with a clear communication on how KRAs will be evaluated, equally important is the need
to define the priority of one KRA over the other.
This helps employees know the mix of their job responsibilities & accordingly focus on their day
to day duties.
Yes, assigning weights to KRAs help.
So long as there is a uniform understanding of what constitutes 30% or say, 15%.
Key takeaway for Practitioners
Sometimes it helps for Managers & employees to assign KRAs on qualitative priorities like
Critical, High, Medium & Low.
For the purpose of rating & overall performance scores, an uniform weightage can be set for
each such priority & accordingly assigned.
However, the more important need is to educate employees & Managers on the need to
prioritize the KRAs aligned to organizational business objectives.
16. Well, that completes the
set of 5 key KRAs of
Performance Reviews.
I am sure you have already instituted these as part of your company’s
appraisal process on employee evaluation.
If not, now you know what is to be done & how !!!
Performance Management is here to stay forever. It’s up to us who are
practitioners to make this relevant & acceptable. Or else, we will be thrown
out & others will be here soon to ring in the change.
So, be the change & hoorah to a great review !!!
