Dear Friends,
Please give your valuable time to my query & Guide me!
My Management asked to draft KRA & KPIs for all existing departments.
As Job Descriptions are mandatory for KRAs but all JDs need to be updated as per changing roles & responsibilities.
With JDs, first of all:
1. Goals of the organization,
2. department's KRAs and then
3. Individual KRA & KPI should be formulated.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
And for the formulation of the same, I need to understand all department workflow through discussions with each department head.
Here I do have a few queries, please guide me for clarification: -
1. Is it possible to develop KRAs without department's KRA?
2. What is Key Performance Area and how is it different from KRA & KPI?
3. The sequence of developing PMS is setting KRA, KPI, and then Goals and then Deadlines.
What is the role of Goals here and how to set goals.
One more problem I am facing is that line managers as well as top management are not interested in giving time to discuss the same. They just give me work to do but don't cooperate.
And whatever JDs have been formulated by me are not up to the mark as per my understanding because of the lack of information provided to me by department heads. As I analyzed, all employees are doing a lot of work than written in the JDs. So if I draft KRAs based on JDs, these would be inaccurate.
Please guide me? How to handle the issue...........

Hi...I saw ur post .....I think below content wil be helpful for u...
“Key Result Areas” or KRAs refer to general areas of outcomes or outputs for which the department's role is responsible. A typical role targets three to five KRA.
-------------------------------------------------
Value of KRAs.
Identifying KRAs helps individuals: ·
- Clarify their roles
-· Align their roles to the organisation’s business or strategic plan
-· Focus on results rather than activities
-· Communicate their role’s purposes to others
-· Set goals and objectives
-· Prioritize their activities,
-and therefore improve their time/work management
-· Make value-added decisions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description of KRAs
Key result areas (KRAs) capture about 80% of the department's work role. The remainder of the role is usually devoted to areas of shared responsibility (e.g., helping team members, participating in activities for the good of the organisation).

Swati,
This is a problem in every organization. You will have to learn how to get work done from these kinds of individuals. If you have read about management in terms of Indian values, you have to use sham, dam, dand, bhed as required.
Furthermore, if department heads are not cooperating, ask your management to resolve the issue. Regarding KRAs and KPIs, I have sent you a live example. If there are any issues, please discuss those.
Thank you.

Dear Swati,
Mr. Ravi Shankar has given good examples. Let me put my points as well regarding your queries; this will help a bit:
You have put 3 points with JD, but JD comes at a later stage.
1. As mentioned above, first comes vision, then
2. mission
3. goals
4. objectives (more specific)
After having the organization's objectives, targets, strategy, then comes the department's goals, objectives, or strategy. Though the origin of departments happens as per structural analysis over a period of time (let's not go there as of now).
Now, as you rightly said, since roles are changing and expanding, JD needs to be changed. But JD is the outcome of job evaluation, and there are certain methods to evaluate jobs, which even many outside consultants do for the organization. Or one can do it by having a committee within the organization. A growing organization may need to do this exercise every 2-3 years.
I am a bit skeptical about differences between KFA/KRA/KPI/KFA though Ravishankar has given some insight. These are related to JD but also with the department's objectives of a particular year.
As far as setting up objectives is concerned, it also depends upon the organization's way of setting the objectives as well as the managing style of managers. Also, you alone cannot decide or set objectives/KFA/KRA/KPI for others. Being in HR, we can be facilitators and process the activity and get it done on time with complete parity in the system. It's more a matter between subordinate and supervisor, and they are the ones who have to do it. For example, is it possible to decide a Marketing executive's KRA by you who is working under the National sales manager? I think no. You can do it based on your capacity, but it's neither accurately feasible nor a correct process.
I don't know the appraisal cycle of your organization, as KPIs may get changed also. And how much weightage to be given to which activity should be explained and decided between supervisor and subordinate.
Please let your management know it's a joint and deliberate exercise; you alone will get under huge pressure if doing it alone, and the whole year will end with a lot of confusions...even this depends upon the size of your organization.
Please keep discussing this and inform us of the progress...as it's a learning for me also.

Rahul

Also, could you provide me with an example of KRA, KPI, goal, and deadline for any department?
Thank you.

Hi Swati,
I tried to develop an Excel sheet as an example. Please check the attachment. It's an example of an HR executive handling recruitment and other tasks. The total should not exceed 100%. The idea is to first divide the objectives into major business results, such as Recruitment, Organizational structure, Attrition, Retention, Analysis, etc. Then, divide these into sub-objectives, put the measures of performance (i.e., how we will measure), and assign the weightage.
This process has to be done at the beginning of the appraisal cycle. During the performance review, ratings have to be given. However, these elements are not included in the attachment; it's only KRA-related.
Others, please share your views and attach if there are other good methods. Obviously, there are various methods to accomplish this.

Dear Swati,
KRA AND KPA
Key Result Areas
“Key Result Areas” or KRAs refer to general areas of outcomes or outputs for which a role is responsible. A typical role targets three to five KRA. KRAs are also known as key work outputs (KWOs).
Value
Identifying KRAs helps individuals: · Clarify their roles · Align their roles to the organisation’s business or strategic plan · Focus on results rather than activities · Communicate their role’s purposes to others · Set goals and objectives · Prioritize their activities, and therefore improve their time/work management · Make value-added decisions
Description
Key result areas (KRAs) capture about 80% of a work role. The remainder of the role is usually devoted to areas of shared responsibility (e.g., helping team members, participating in activities for the good of the organisation).
EXAMPLE
SALES [ KRAs]
-customer sales revenue
-customer servicing level
-merchandising
-accounts relationship
-key accounts / major accounts service
=======================================
KEY PERFORMANCE AREAS
These are the areas within the business unit, where an
individual or group, is logically responsible / accountable
for the results.
To manage each KRA, a set of KPI are set .
KRA and hence KPI is attributed to the person who
can have effect on the business results and is
self measured where applicable.
EXAMPLE
SALES
-sales target [ 15%] growth
CUSTOMER SERVICE
-raise service index by 6%
WAREHOUSING
-improve picking/ packing rate by 7%
You can have many KRAs/KPIs but 3/5 is workable
at best.
HOPE THIS IS USEFUL TO YOU.

Dear Swati,
I have been following the post you mailed. I guess you must have received more or less all information regarding the same. I am attaching the KRA sheet we used for our PMS system. This will give you insight into KRA, KPI, targets for each KRA, and ways to measure each KRA. KPA and KPI more or less mean the same.
Once you decide on the KRA for the department, only then will you be able to break it down at an individual level. And don't get disheartened. It took me 3 months only to derive KRA for a group of 40 people. It is said that people will first oppose you, then they will fight with you, then they will laugh at you, and then you win.
All the best.

KPI is the unit of measurement given to KRA’S, you can also say weightage given to KRA’S.that is the only difference.

Key process indicators or Key process areas represent the route or the process adopted to achieve the respective Key Result Area and are equally important as achieving the KRAs. One has to win a prize only after following the specified ethical/legal route or procedure.

Thank you for all of your sharing. I wonder if you can help me to clarify the link between KPI and Balanced Scorecards. Is it the same purpose? I am rather confused on this matter.
Do you have KPI examples for a Policy Administration position within the Insurance Industry? Please share some samples with me.
Thanks very much.

Key Performance Areas [KPA]
When the key results area is large, it is broken into manageable areas for managing/ evaluation.
these sub-sections of KRAs are called KPA
Example:
KRA = RECRUITMENT/ SELECTION
KPA 1= RECRUITMENT
KPA 2 = SELECTION
Key Performance Indicators [KPI]
To manage each KRA/ KPAs, a set of KPI are set.

Hello everyone, please shed some light on this topic. Are the KRAs the same for a department? Will the KRAs for the training department differ from those of the recruitment department? Will the KRAs for a GM be the same as those for an AGM within a department? How do KRAs differ from individual objectives?
