Dear Shruthi,
Rather than concentrating solely on Performance Appraisal (PA), I recommend instituting a comprehensive Performance Management System (PMS) as PA is a part of PMS.
Setting up a Performance Management System (PMS) is a far more serious activity that needs to be handled with due sensitivity. Instituting PMS requires significant exposure across various industries, and if mishandled, it may do more harm than good.
To learn more about instituting PMS in the company, you can click here to refer to my past post: https://www.citehr.com/490150-job-description-link-kra-kpi-pms.html#post2140544.
There is often confusion surrounding the concepts of KPI and KRA. To dispel this confusion, I have uploaded a presentation on YouTube. You can view the video by clicking here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMEjMQzYVSs.
I have addressed queries on the subject repeatedly. If you wish to review my past responses, you can click on the following links:

Discuss with your management, and if they are interested, we can collaborate. Engaging my services will involve conducting a thorough study of each department and devising innovative measures that may not have been considered before.

Hi,
In most companies, performance appraisal is typically based on the boss's perception and budget allocation. Various mathematical and bell curve statistics are often used to ensure that rewards are allocated to please the boss.
My suggestion for a better appraisal design is as follows:
1. Establish a well-informed and measured Key Performance Measurement system for all employees.
2. Set targets based on the KPM and conduct regular reviews.
3. Evaluate performance based on the achievements in alignment with agreed KPMs.
In conclusion, appraisals should be conducted based on agreed Key Performance Measures (KPMs).

In a good appraisal format, apart from employees' details, the format should be devised by incorporating the following details:
1) KRAs/KPAs laid down for the current year under review.
2) KRAs/KPAs to be laid down for the next year.
3) Achievements made for the current year under review.
4) Shortfalls, if any.
5) Areas where the employee is required to give more focus.
6) Identification of training needs (TNI).
Thanks,

Hello Everyone,
I am an HR professional at a startup. My CEO has tasked me with planning for performance reviews. I am new to this process. My understanding is that we need to gather feedback from managers, peers, and conduct self-assessments.
I am unsure about how to allocate weights to these feedback sources and how to calculate the total score from them. Is there a guide that I can refer to for assistance?
Additionally, if we decide to implement a 360-degree feedback system, are there any free tools available that can provide graphical representations of the results?

In my company, we still have to process the quarterly performance reviews of the employees. Additionally, we need to review the last quarter's performance. Is it possible if nothing is currently in progress? I would appreciate your guidance on the same, including any available formats.

Dear Jidnyasa-Nashikkar,
Good to note that you wish to conduct the "Performance Review" (PR) of the employees. However, we need to be clear on the parameters on which the performance will be reviewed. You need to communicate those parameters at the beginning of the performance cycle. The PR cannot be done as an afterthought.
While designing the KRA, one must be absolutely clear as to what needs to be increased or decreased. Please note that the sentences used in the Job Description (JD) are different from the KRA and KPI. Please watch the video on YouTube which I uploaded about nine years ago.
In this thread, refer to the post Sl No 2. I have provided several links. Go through the links and apprise yourself of the process of establishing the PMS in your company.

Your help in providing the necessary template would be highly appreciated.
