An effective implementation of 720 degree Performance Appraisal
–A Case study of Cadbury
Ms NehaRaghav
Research Scholar, FMS,MRIU

Supervisor,FMS,MRIU
Abstract
Moving beyond 360‐degree feedback, as part of its leadership development programme, Cadbury
introduced an additional round of feedback i.e.– “720-degree” which includes input from a leader’s
family and friends, as well as business colleagues including direct reports.It proved an integral part of
Cadbury’s transformational leadership programme, which also saw leaders getting involved in long-
term charity projects.
Lee Sears, director of leadership Consultancy Bridge, who helped design the programme, referred to
the 720-degree process as “the biggest catalyst in the whole process” for some participants. “A lot of
people have aspects of their leadership capability outside of work that they just don’t realize,” said
Sears.
“The 720-degree approach gives people a very different view of themselves as leaders and
individuals,” This allows leaders to not only gain a variety of views of their work roles but of their
lives outside work. This also synchronized with a key part of the leadership programme which
included participation in a long‐term charity project. By including outside views, leaders can
potentially gain a bigger picture of how they perform as both leaders and individuals, inside and
outside the organisation. Of course, although the feedback is anonymous, it soon became clear where
close family had provided the inputs.
The HRD report 2010 at Cadbury expected 155 of its international leaders to have gone through the
programme by the middle of year 2010 which was effectively realized in the later part of the year.
Key Words: human resource, performance, potential, Talent, employees, Training and Development
Introduction
Effective performance management has always been the crucial part of strategic management in
Cadbury.
Almost every organization in one way or another goes through a periodic ritual, formally or
informally, known as performance appraisal. The formal performance appraisal has been called a tool
of management, a control process, an activity and a critical element in human resources allocation.
Uses for performance appraisal have included equal employment opportunity considerations,
promotions, transfer and salary increases. Primarily performance appraisal has been considered an
overall system for controlling an organization. Performance appraisal has also been called an audit
function of an organization regarding the performance of individuals, groups and entire divisions.
Performance appraisal may be defined as a structured formal interaction between a subordinate and
supervisor, that usually takes the form of a periodic interview (annual or semi-annual), in which the
work performance of the subordinate is examined and discussed, with a view to identifying
weaknesses and strengths as well as opportunities for improvement and skills development.
Secondly, appraisal not merely means the assessment of performance but the identification of
individual potential and this is where the focus of Cadbury differs from other organizations. Cadbury,
over the years has been able to create an appraisal system that is integrated to the organizations
management development process. The approach towards appraisal is now more qualitative in nature.

Business need
Cadbury is the world's largest confectionery company, dating back to 1824 when John Cadbury
opened in Birmingham selling cocoa and chocolate. Employing over 45,000 valued people in
confectionery around the world, their working environment is often described as both challenging and
rewarding. Personal and professional aspirations are of the utmost importance.
In February 2007, an IT project was launched to deliver an intranet based online performance
management system for management and administrative colleagues in time for the July 2007 mid-year
review.
An online system was needed to provide global standardization and also to reduce paperwork and the
amount of time spent administering the annual review process
The challenge
The current performance management process differs greatly between countries and a key
requirement was to ensure all users adhered to one standardized global process. The global rollout
scope was to ensure 18,000 colleagues (including managers, senior managers and HR Business
Partners) in 60 countries and 24 languages could carry out the mid-year review on line. The IT
Training Team was asked to respond to a high level brief to provide appropriate learning to the user
base.
An e-Learning approach was taken as this was considered the best platform to deliver a variety of
training that would be universally available, standardized, on time and within budget!
MILESTONES IN THE HISTORY OF CADBURY:
1824 JOHN CADBURY OPENED BULL STREET SHOP

Literature Review
Learning organizational culture is an increasing trend in making more employee oriented organization.
Many organizations, particularly large organizations are aware of the need to encourage learning and
assume learning through work is a perfect fit (Billett, 2001).
Small organization, however do not take much advantage of organizational learning due to limited
organization scope and people diversity (Antonocopoulou, 2001).
Culture is a combination of internal organizational components like employee interactions,
organizational functions and performance, employer attitude, organizational decision making process
(Billett, 2001).
These combinations defines the policies for a organization to solve normal problem as well the any
unknown problems using new knowledge and scenarios are shared between multiple level employees;
thus provides employee to address challenging and difficult situations (Antonocopoulou, 2001).
Well trained employees play the first role in building of organizational learning culture (Parker, 2000).
Thus, in today's business, much concentration should be given to company's human capital strategy
along with economic strategy and this has to as regularly as economic strategies are implemented to
future performance (Antonocopoulou, 2001).
Strategic Human Resource Development (SHRD) may put much focus on learning styles with four
different approaches:
Experiment - Doing
This learning approach gives a detailed outline of a clear picture of the job to be done within the given
time. Examination is taken to check the learning accuracy and always provides feedback with
questions answered. This learning process is a go-on process to run until the learning objectives are
fulfilled (Antonocopoulou, 2001).
Observing - Participating
In this learning process, employee needs an overview of the process, and then follows a superior doing
the job and then go with it own self with a superior monitoring. Sometimes the trainee may learn for
the mistakes that senior people does, take lesson from the mistakes, avoid repeated mistakes. Instant
feedback is given during learning process (Becker and Gerhart, 1996).

Inquiring - Consulting
The trainees will learn through inquiring and consulting mode to have all the information of the new
ideas (why, how, when, where etc) (Wall and Wood, 2005). After understand the context of the task,
employee will apply the new knowledge into their work and expect details feedback (Booth, 1991).
Analyzing - Patterning
For an employee to learn in this way, a precise and details how-to-do guidelines must be presented in
an organized and logical manner. These guidelines would be used in step by step process from start to
end that is coherent to all (Eraut, 2004).
To work towards creating the learning culture through HRD strategies, following points might
be considered:
Skill Gap Analysis
Skill gap analysis used organization HRM which assess the current skills of an individual, team or
even an organization. Identifying skill gaps will help organization to design learning program which
have significant impact on skill level and performance. Another major impact of skill gap analysis is,
when the skill gap is address and monitored properly and an on-going learning culture is on the way,
employee might be more engaged and motivated towards the goal which might fulfill the achievement
of skill gap, as a result makes the whole job easier and eventually benefits the company (Gherardi,
2000); (Malcolm, Hodkinson, and Colley, 2003).
Catalyst for Change
Introduction of new management skill, leadership style, monitoring and coaching the employees
during any organizational change can channel the learning process inside HRD policies. It also might
provide expert motivation, consulting skills as well as on-site learning. In addition, the change will let
employee committed to action and to be self dependant in terms of productivity (Fuller and Unwin,
2004); (Huselid, 1995).
Competitive Advantage
Integrated learning process and continuous implementation will let managers keep making profits and
sustain the company position over the competitors. Learning culture through coordinated system
change, with mechanisms available for individual and organizations to access and culture to develop
long term organizational capacity is already a part of Strategic Human Resource Management. To stay
competitive, creation, acquisition and integration of skill aimed for the development of human capital
and capabilities might be included that influence organizational better performance (Crant, 2000);
(Tight, 2000).
Creation of a Learning Environment
Learning environment usually plays its role to apply the knowledge instantly in different teams on
different purpose and view the outcomes. Learning environment arrangement can have impacts on
employee learning, learning outcome and finally on Learning environment performance. The HRD
policies in organization let employee learn as they go through everyday work by providing both
informal and formal conversation, discussion etc. (Eisenhardt and Martin, 2000); (Wall and Wood,
2005).
Performance management involves training, team cooperation, dialogue, management style, attitude,
shared vision, employee involvement, multi-capacity, incentives and rewards. It is used to maximize
the employee performance in an organization (Neely and Bourne, 2000); (Williams, 2003).
Performance Management System (PMS) provides performance reports on time and relevance to the
organization helps to take swift decision. It also helps business to focus on achieving results to internal
and external stakeholders (Blalock, 1999); (Bassioni, Price, and Hassan, 2004).
Disadvantage of PMS are often are not designed to be well-informed about the nature and link of the
processes Performance management system may not be consistent always. Today PMS may not be
useful tomorrow. It has to update and change regularly (Papalexandris et al, 2005; (Meyer and Rowen,
1991); (Lawler, 2003).
Several Performance Management System (PMS) are in use today like Balance Scorecard,
Performance Prism etc (Kaplan and Norton, 2000); (Meyer and Rowen, 1991).

Performance Management System is designed to clarify the purpose of assisting individual employee
performance management and program-related training and development programs (Kaplan and
Norton, 2000). Consistent with the main objective, performance management should be seen as a fully
integrated system of personnel management. Personnel management, including work and business
design, job descriptions, selection process, performance requirements of the induction, proof, training,
effective supervision, performance feedback and suggestions (Bontis et al, 1999); (Bassioni, Price, and
Hassan, 2004); (Halachmi, 2002).
Traditional PMS mostly focused on theoretical and experience based approaches while modern PMS
can be customized thoroughly based on organization needs. Modern business are not bound in one
culture, they are fitted with hundreds of culture and environment which doesn't really rely on
theoretical approaches but rather focus on business driven trends which can be updated and upgraded
regularly (Neely and Bourne, 2000); (Nilsson and Kalid, 2002); (Williams, 2003); (Lawler, 2003).
According to the case study given (of Cadbury), five framework analysis can explain how
Cadbury integrated the PMS systems over time and what were the outcomes:
Managing For Value
Managing Value let employee work for company's value. Three main A's has been initiated for
maintain the company profitable. Accountable - held individual responsible for the roles. Adaptable -
adjust as the business world changes and upgrade own skills and knowledge whenever available and
applicable. Aggressive - individual should be result and goal oriented and each goal must be achieved.
However, this framework was based on older basis business style which doesn't suit with today's
complex business needs (Kaplan and Norton, 2000); (Bassioni, Price, and Hassan, 2004); (Meyer and
Rowen, 1991).
Result Focused
Result focused has brought the idea that the Cadbury holds a strong financial goals thus employee
must be talented and strong too. Employees were sent to training that was linked with the goals
achieved from managing for value. They were given a idea and context of business environment where
Cadbury operates. This framework brought employee closer to invest inside the company. While own
money is invested, every employee tends to work harder for the best of the company. Yet, this result
focused approach was not enough when Cadbury went through acquisition of other companies (Bontis
et al, 1999); (Nilsson and Kalid, 2002).
Working Better Together
This framework has been established bearing in mind that Cadbury's global business. Cadbury found
that employees should work collaboratively rather than individually. After the acquisition, different
types of employee joined the company. There was a need to construct a framework where new comer
will work with experienced as a team or group for certain purpose. This framework unfortunately
didn't bring the expected outcomes due to failure of identify potential workforce and lack of
motivation. Employees had been assigned to the working environment where they weren't familiar
with (Blalock, 1999); (Meyer and Rowen, 1991).
Growing Our People
This strategy is a small training program for managers to teach them how to identify and manage
potential talent and ensure equal participation of every resource. Managers were set to motivate the
employee about the company succession and let them make decision in certain cases. What this policy
missed is deal with poor performed employee. The framework did mention to motivate every
employee but didn't clearly identify how to influence poor performed employee, whether they will be
left behind etc (Papalexandris et al, 2005); (Bassioni, Price, and Hassan, 2004).
Passion for People
Passion for people is said to be the best suited with Cadbury which looks at the mechanics of
managing performance. Before this policy is established, stakeholder has been given first priority
whereas deal with staff is given fifth priority. On certain point both conflicted. Thus Cadbury decided
to demolish the poor working performance for the sake of stakeholders which has been a bottleneck for
a long time. Cadbury decided to go for the people who work with Cadbury, but not for Cadbury.
Employees has been given freedom and choice to do what is right for the job and thus each job in

Cadbury now is a role of enthusiasm (Neely and Bourne, 2000); (Nilsson and Kalid, 2002); (Meyer
and Rowen, 1991); (Norreklit, 2000).
Performance Management System (PMS) must implement 6 common features widely considered
as the succession factors for such kind of system. They are:
Objective Setting - It appears that the main purpose of performance management systems, the focus
of its strategic objectives, is not it have been a lot of people think that management and staff to assist
in achieving other objectives of the system, namely, a comprehensive evaluation and the
corresponding performance development and improvement of staff (Bassioni, Price and Hassan, 2004).
In the performance management system aims at one of the reasons is the apparent conflict of strategic
planning business development (Kaplan and Norton, 2000) (Neely and Bourne, 2000); (Bassioni,
Price, and Hassan, 2004); (Lawler, 2003).
Ongoing Review of Objectives - Performance management system should be designed in a way that
participants are well-informed about the objectives and link of the processes. PMS objectives should
be closely related to the boundary of the working environment and it must ensure objectives are
changed whenever company vision, mission and scope are changed (Papalexandris et al, 2005);
(Meyer and Rowen, 1991); (Williams, 2003); (Halachmi, 2002).
Development of Personal Improvement - Personal improvement closely related with employee
training about the PMS system is considered as the most important factors to determine the success of
PMS system in any organization (Smith, 2002). Training should include in-class lectures, question-
answer session, practical implementation and outcomes observation, possible complication scenarios
and solution. Training should be continuous, not only limited during implementation only; so that
supervisor can monitor the situation and when a new employee is recruited, (s)he will not be surprised
to be a part of unknown system all of a sudden (Halachmi, 2002); (Nilsson and Kalid, 2002).
Formal Appraisal with Feedback - PMS System must always receive assessment with feedback
provided from various stakeholders. Effective PMS system is not possible to implement without taking
into account human behavior (Blalock, 1999); (Meyer and Rowen, 1991); (Williams, 2003).
One common type of performance appraisal system is Trait Rating Evaluation System which
evaluates employees against qualities and work outline that are set. This type of evaluation in
influenced of employee ability to get along with others, logical capability, job skill, ability to trail the
tasks given, success rates etc (Edwards and Thomas, 2005). This method of PMS received criticism
from both employee and employer because it is designed based on subjective rather than objective.
Employers don't wish to be subjective when evaluate employee performance while employee consider
unfairness when achieving lower mark using the appraisal system (Bontis et al, 1999); (Neely and
Bourne, 2000); (Lawler, 2003).
Another widely used appraisal system is evaluating performance against the setting and accomplishing
objectives (Edwards and Thomas, 2005). Rather than confront the employees, the objectives are to be
checked whether they have been well explained or how employee performs against them over a certain
period of time. Yet, appraisal set by only objectives will fail if it is not staffing,, leadership and
contingency is not done properly (Kaplan and Norton, 2000); (Bassioni, Price, and Hassan, 2004).
Pay Review - Pay review gives the organization the opportunity to offer incentive or increment of
employee salary based on significant performance. To implement the PMS successfully, pay review
must be conducted over time (Meyer and Rowen, 1991). In most cases, employees don't feel interest to
work if the payment is not adjusted according to performance over time; but organization has to ensure
that whatever decision on payment review has made, individual must adhere to it. Pay review can be
made on the market value of the position, individual merit and contribution, compare the performance
with the objectives set and finally a discussion with HR department (Blalock, 1999); (Neely and
Bourne, 2000); (Lawler, 2003); (Norreklit, 2000).
Organizational Capability Review - To achieve high performance organization, its structures and
processes must be compatible with the key objectives and mission. PMS system should be integrated
to organizational design, taking every element in account - people, structures, processes, relationships,
systems and external entities which are related to those objectives (Meyer and Rowen, 1991). Of
course, if organizational capability is not reviewed continuously, regardless of implementing high-

scale PMS system wouldn't be effective; it because the organization cant go beyond the set limit unless
it widened the scope (Papalexandris et al, 2005); (Nilsson and Kalid, 2002); (Halachmi, 2002);
(Norreklit, 2000).
Making and implementation of performance management system takes efforts; often out of limit.
System that may seems to be right may become irrelevant tomorrow. An effective management control
system can only be designed when human behavior are taken care of, human control are well
understood in PMS system (Edwards and Thomas, 2005); (Williams, 2003).
Discussion
Cadbury's is ranked 26th in FTSE and had a profit of 6% amounting £1115 million and had appointed
a HR manager in main board. But then the major weakness was to identify the potential employees and
promote and motivate them to perform better. This strength-weakness analysis is used in very first step
of resource based model against the competitors.
Next, Cadbury identified that the employees skill must be analyzed timely to motivate employees
through some goals so that they can perform better (known as capability analysis). Employee
motivation has been seen fruitful after the training session.
To be a competitive leader, Cadbury brought the employees closer to the company by offering them
share in 1974. Employees had invested their own money and for that reason each employee has a good
reason to be motivated towards a common goal - to perform better than yesterday.
By offering the part of the company business, 90% of employee said they liked the share investment
which has proven big returns for the company itself. This strategy fitted with the Cadbury's then
competitive step as no such company had offered this opportunity before.
And then, to formulate the strategy into realty and to be a market leader, Cadbury took aggressive step
toward acquisition of Trebor Bassett and Adams. This acquisition followed by a decentralized
command of the company split into five regions which demands that Cadbury can no longer stick on
old concept. As the business trends had changed, to be competitive and earn above-average returns
after big acquisitions, HR has to play its roles.
There came the Best-Fit model which derived from the business strategy. Cadbury's step forward to
best fit was hugely changed trough the acquisitions. The following are the valuation how 'best fit'
approaches fitted with Cadburys Human resource management.
Recruitment and selection process had been adapted with extreme care. Both businesses had been
given equal priority as both had two different cultures. Some employees had been shifted over the
businesses on demand. Communications has played its role and made things easier. The managements
of two different businesses had been asked what culture the company should adopt to be a market
leader. This communication let the employee had their flexibility on job rather than having job
imposed on them. Direct discussions with employees had been made and few standards of behaviors
had been set.
Cadbury identified that, rather than focusing on individual employee it could form a team for specific
goals for a certain time and replace them for some other purpose at a later time. This strategy did make
diversification among employees and known as Working Better Together in the case study. Cadbury
introduced extensive training program with more than 50 online tools for employee to let employee
work more collaboratively in a decentralized business structure. However, despite these steps, Cadbury
wasn't able to bring out the best of the workforce. A more growing approach - more likely a joint
problem solving approach was necessary.
As a result, Growing Our People had been initiated so let employee be involved in decision making
process with responsibility. Employees went through side by side with managers in assessment process
of company's various stages and gain their performance.
Performance appraisal was essential at this stage. Cadbury had to assess what were the outcomes of the
training, communication etc to determine the next possible steps towards the HRM (e.g. pay increase,
promotion). It has found that, poor performed employees were not given fair chances and
opportunities.

Since Cadbury placed its first priority to stakeholders and only fifth priority to built reputation with
staff, it took serious actions towards the poor performed employee; noted as Passion for People. Well
performed employees had been give pay rise while low performed employees had been disqualified.
AS a global business leader, it had no chance to retain poor performed employees.
Cadbury went through many changes in the give case study. Taking consideration of strategic human
resource management, Cadbury's approach to assess the changes could be based on the following:
Change in Employee Roles and Responsibility
Cadbury went through many changes on employee roles and positioning during the case study;
beginning with Andrew Gibson which didn't follow traditional HR guidelines.
Change in Strategies
5 different approaches throughout the case study had been flowed. Beginning with managing for value
(increase employee understanding), result focused (employee must reach the goal), working better
together (work as a team), growing our people (provide training and workshops) and passion for
people (retain the talents). It should be noted that the 5 approaches had been implemented in different
times. Except the working better together which failed to identify potential workforce in a cultural
mix, all other approaches was seen viable and brought positive impact to Cadbury.
Talent Management
Talent management is a common and natural home for HR particularly where it may also need to
become part of a broader culture change program. Talent management has been developed along with
the approach of Passion for People where well-performed employees had been offered promotion and
pay-out. In the mean time, it was found that poor performed employees had not been dealt with fairly.
Change in Culture
After acquisition of Trebor Bassett and Adams, it was necessary to change internal culture to let
employee mix with other culture and know each culture better. Culture tells how each business goes
through with its own resources. Often acquitted business needed to adapt with existing business but in
Cadbury, both new and old business had been told to build a new working culture to be a winning
business which is known as - working better together.
Change in Training and Development
Employee training plays the most innovative role in employee development. Business changes every
day globally. New techniques and business policies are invented regularly. To let employees stay
ahead with the latest business development, Cadbury had implemented various training facility over
time. During the Result-focused it was seen 5 day training had been provided to understand the
business goals. It has to be changed after acquisition of another business which had been implemented
in Working Better Together to let the employee works together in a team despite of cultural
differences.
Change in Structures
Before the acquisitions, Cadbury had a centralized business structure located in UK. Every decision
was made in the head quarter and then made available to all sectors. After a large acquisitions and
global business expansion, centralized business was not worthy. UK officers were not able to feel the
cultural differentiation and its affect on Cadbury's business in USA. To grow the business further
Cadbury split the business to five different regions each having own standards and culture. And now,
with more than 50,000 work forces from hundreds of different cultures put Cadbury ahead as one of
the top confectionary around the globe.
The HR functions, more and more business press reports as a more strategic approach, which aims to
ensure the organization of a series of events, winning the people they need to meet the challenges of
the future skills as noted at the end of Cadbury case study. Respondents planned development of the
organization, ask them the organization is hoping to achieve it. The top three responses, including
succession planning, to attract, retain and develop the sustainability and future growth
Managers should take the following key measures to ensure that HR can best support an organization
going through change.
Get the right people: Proper care, but must be taken to employ the people themselves. This will be
useful to the organization to recruit young people and nurture them, and not substitute for other

organizations to employ. Even though the board has a member from HR department, to employ the
right people in Cadbury, HR strategies should be diversified and more decentralized.
Promises must be kept: Any commitment to employee must be dealt with proper care and attention.
Cadbury should bear in mind that, employee's are asset to the organization; thus any promise given to
then (e.g. promotion, pay, assessment, dividends) must be kept even if the expected profit outcome is
not achieved.
Healthy working environment: Rules of the organization must be flexible enough to provide them with
the freedom to fulfill their part of the mandate, they like, as long as the task of implementation.
Opportunities should be provided to employees to achieve their personal goals.
Talent identification: Of course talents are the precious asset any organization be proud of. During the
Cadbury case study it was seen that, after merge with Adams, Cadbury were unable to identify the
potential talent even though their intention was good. Talents can be anyone in any field. One good
way the HR policies in Cadbury can identify the talents is to reassign the employees in different
position and let them be a part of every decision making process, if possible. It is no so easy to identify
a talent unless they have given a chance.
Rewards and Appraisal: Employee should be provided with proper appraisal and pay assessment based
on performance. Low performed employee should be given extra care and opportunity to perform
better.
Continuous training: Employers must provide employees with continuous learning and closed areas of
work opportunities, through the management development programs and distance learning programs.
Adequate relax: Rest and Recreation (R&R) is a common aspect ever big organization adhere in today
business. Taking consideration of human psychology, rest and recreation can refresh employee mind
and soul and let them think clearly with ideas. Even companies worldwide spent thousands to let their
employee be fresh (e.g. annual trip, picnic, diner party etc) so that they can be more motivated and get
the message that the company appreciates their service and wished better service in coming days.
Cadbury could definitely adapt this process. In case study it was seen that only training was provided
for employee motivation. Cadbury shouldn't ignore that, if employees are not re-energized, they will
not feel interest on any such training and workshop.
Overall, HRD policies in Cadbury should be adhering to an on-going evaluation process. Well-
performed employees must be given awards to be more competitive and poor performed employees
should be given more spaces to work on with. Diversification is also important to ensure that gap of
cultures; race and religion do not make an issue and jeopardize the organization's common goal.
Conclusion
Conclusively, optimal employee commitment has been established at Cadbury along with an effective
feedback system. To let the HR strategies be more employee friendly, HR professionals are appointed
in every regional decision making board. Cadbury initiated sense the employee considerations in
different cultures.
Best fit model proved to bring success in Cadbury's HR strategies up to date. While other elements
have been considered over time as business grows, Cadbury is proven to be stable in human resource
managements with more than 50,000 workforces globally and one of the top confectionary company
around the world.
