4. Responsibilities of HR in Agile
Organization
HR must move from an era of “best practices”
to a new age of “best-for-us practices”.
Currently HR systems are designed to reduce
variability and to standardize behaviour, not to
promote flexibility and adaptive behaviour.”

alternatives.

11. 360 degree feedback
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 appraisal has four integral components:
1. Self appraisal
2. Superior’s appraisal
3. Subordinate’s appraisal
4. Peer appraisal.

13. Advantages of 360 degree
appraisal
 Offer a more comprehensive view towards the performance of
employees.
 Improve credibility of performance appraisal.
 Such colleague’s feedback will help strengthen self-development.
 Increases responsibilities of employees to their customers.
 The mix of ideas can give a more accurate assessment.
 People who undervalue themselves are often motivated by feedback
from others.
 If more staff takes part in the process of performance appraisal,
the organizational culture of the company will become more honest.

14. Challenges
 Funding in organization rollout at financial year ending. So giving
frequent performance appraisals is a big challenge.
 Solution – Monthly / quarterly budget allocation
 Bonus can be given interim basis instead of salary hike.
