Hi All,
Can any one share information on:
How do you move from an anniversary performance appraisal date to a company-wide annual performance appraisal date in a manner that employees see the value and readily accept it?
Also how do you calculate the pro-rated increases of those people who are converted from their old anniversary to the new annual review date?

Hi!
From an HR Practitioner's perspective, the "anniversary" cycle of appraisal is a very demanding job in as much as HRD will have a "year-round responsibility" to attend to. Imagine if your organization has a small HR dept. and have several hundreds of employees marking their anniversary each month? If this is your situation, then you will be constrained to assign one or 2 staff on a fulltime basis to administer it.
Moreover, good and sensible performance appraisals are supposed to be based on annual performance plans or targets. And, these plans/ targets are generally prepared on the normal annual (Jan-Dec) and/or financial/ fiscal calendar (Apr-Mar) of an organization. Hence, doing an appraisal in an anniversary that is off-tangent with the calendar/ fiscal year may not just be difficult, but also irrational.
On the question of "how do you convert" from anniversary to annual? Well, just make the announcement after top management has officially approved the shift/change.
On the computation, well, this is not an issue because companies implementing appraisal systems are supposed to have a performance-based adjustments. And, the amount of increase should be clearly defined by the policy attached to the appraisal tool. Those who performed well are expecting to get more than those who didn't.
Computing increments based on "tenure" or "time" based is not actually doing a performance-based methodology. These organizations are actually implementing a "seniority-plus-merit" based system ---- regardless of the system used.
Best regards!
