Dear Manasi,
It is definitely a sensitive matter because the persons working in R&D are quite different from other department.So evaluation of them is should be systematic and logical.I will kike to give following tips.
1 Evaluate individual performance on project basis .How much task he has given & how much he is completed successfully .There may be possibility that he has not even completed single project .For that you should go to root of problem involving group leader.
2 If GR.Leader is biased then evaluate on other way through different gr.leader,colleagues .
3 Always keep in mind last performance of employee because sometime due to extraordinary project the task cannot be achieved .
4 Motivate DR. by giving credit through his senior time to time and also additonal incentives or foreign tour for training cum enjoyment.

Hi

Mansi

In a organisation there are different departments performing in different capacity,out of those different one of the most peculiar is R&D.

well wat i have learned from my experience is go for 360 degree methood or scouting.ppl in R&D dept require attention from company.

See wen we talk R&D ppl ,it is being unfair to judge there performance by there on going project as we all know at times there hard work presents itself in form of data they have gathered so far,bt there are chance that this might nt lead ny conclusion so 360 degree simple with gud explanation wld do.In scouting is generally used for senior,now these R&D ppl being some what peculiar in nature and require attention from company ,so scouting will make sensse to them.

as far as motivation is concerned

apply a combination of monetory and non monetory both.hey are nt like sales profile ppl that only monetory wold do.

like give them off,give them flexi hours to work,give them public recognition.

Whenever a project comes to an end take them completely away from there work.

There reporting manger need to take care of many things like give them lot sapce to work and express themselves.let them live the wat they like.like no sense in noticing there dressing sense.flexi hours

spare some gud hours with them take then for lunch,dinner watever is feasible.

i hope this will mak sum sense to u

Manasi,
U want to motivate R&D guys, who have done PHD,
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ,,,
Listen Research guys and that too who have done Phd have a keen interest in their work and love their work thats why they are in research.
They are scientists. much much more intelligent than HR, in all aspects.. ..
they dont need any type of motivation.....
Even some of them may not like you who might be telling them some motivation lessons....
I myself am working in R&D institution, and beleive me dont feel bad, you dont have any right to judge the performance of a Research guy with PHD unless you are more qualified than them
Respect their education.
