==================
Employers of choice like the NorthCoast 99 winners generally have highly effective performance
management processes, as evidenced by the fact that their practices have led to 45% of
employees (on average) receiving improved performance ratings, per the 2012 NorthCoast 99
Winners Report. Their performance management practices typically share three common
characteristics.
1. Performance management is a cycle.
Performance management is not viewed as a one-time annual occurrence at winners. Instead it's
an on-going cycle of performance planning (setting goals and expectations); execution
(performing projects and tasks); supporting and developing (providing on-going coaching and
feedback as well as training and development); and evaluating (reviewing performance behaviors
and results against goals and standards; recognizing performance with rewards and promotions;
or redirecting performance) that occurs between managers and employees and with the support
of HR and leaders throughout the year.
Example: Clinical Research Management is committed to fostering a high performance culture
and strives to provide each employee with clear performance objectives, on-going coaching and
feedback, professional development, and recognition for outstanding work. During the
performance management cycle at Clinical Research Management, top performers are given the
opportunity to request additional assignments designed to grow their capabilities and skills in
addition to receiving an assessment of their skill set and career goals. Employees also engage in
a formal discussion with their managers to discuss career paths and advancement opportunities.
Professional development plans are typically put into place for top performers at this time.
2. Performance management is a strategic business process.
Performance management is viewed as a business process, and not just an administrative HR
process, that is critical and necessary for achieving high company performance. Goal-setting is a
crucial element of winners' performance management practices. Organizational goals are
"cascaded" down through the individual level and aligned with strategic business priorities.
Talent outcomes like promotions, pay for performance, succession planning, and leadership
development are linked to the performance management process.
Example: CBIZ defines performance management as a business process necessary for achieving
sustainable high performance. Leaders are expected to model effective performance management
behaviors and support the process. They are required to transition the perception of performance
from just an HR process to something that is critical to the organization and for achieving
business results. Leaders are held accountable for increasing the frequency and quality of
conversations about performance expectations, feedback, and developmental planning. In
addition, individual goals are aligned vertically and horizontally in the organization and leaders
must tie performance management outcomes to all talent consequences like promotions,
incentives, and succession planning.
3. Performance management is systematic and cultural.
Performance management does not simply include a performance evaluation and a performance
improvement plan. Instead, performance management is a system of integrated programs,
activities, and tools developed by winners that are consistently carried out at the organization.
Additionally, an emphasis on high performance is a norm and expected behavior in the company
culture. These programs and activities include...
 Assessments and appraisals
 Coaching and feedback
 Goal-setting
 Assignments and projects
 Meetings and discussions
 Check-points
 Training and development opportunities
 Career development planning
 Formal and informal mentoring
 Performance management training for supervisors and managers
 Technology/software platforms or systems
Example: The Cleveland Foundation’s performance management process includes a variety of
on-going activities. At the beginning of the process, each employee completes a self-assessment
and identifies the goals or objectives they would like to work toward in the following appraisal
period. The employee and their supervisor use the self-assessment to complete the performance
appraisal and work together to develop challenging and achievable objectives. During the
performance management process, developmental opportunities are also discussed and a plan for
fulfilling training needs either internally or externally is created. Employees and their supervisors
evaluate progress towards these objectives during bi-weekly meetings and at a midyear check-
point. Employees are encouraged to address any obstacles preventing them from achieving their
objectives at this time.
Many organizations don't achieve the results they want from performance management because
their processes are lacking in these three areas...performance management isn't a cycle; it's not
viewed as a business process that is aligned with strategy; high performance is not a cultural
norm; and the organization lacks a system of integrated performance management activities,
programs, and tools.
It's no wonder that most performance management processes do not produce, because based on
our research on the NorthCoast 99 winners, performance management is the "crux" behind
everything in their organization, including their business results.
==================
III. Performance appraisal methods
1.Ranking Method
The ranking system requires the rater to rank his
subordinates on overall performance. This consists in
simply putting a man in a rank order. Under this method,
the ranking of an employee in a work group is done
against that of another employee. The relative position of
each employee is tested in terms of his numerical rank. It
may also be done by ranking a person on his job
performance against another member of the competitive
group.
Advantages of Ranking Method
i. Employees are ranked according to their performance
levels.
ii. It is easier to rank the best and the worst employee.
Limitations of Ranking Method
i. The “whole man” is compared with another “whole man”
in this method. In practice, it is very difficult to compare
individuals possessing various individual traits.
ii. This method speaks only of the position where an
employee stands in his group. It does not test anything
about how much better or how much worse an employee
is when compared to another employee.
iii. When a large number of employees are working, ranking
of individuals become a difficult issue.
iv. There is no systematic procedure for ranking individuals
in the organization. The ranking system does not eliminate
the possibility of snap judgements.
2. Rating Scale
Rating scales consists of several numerical scales
representing job related performance criterions such as
dependability, initiative, output, attendance, attitude etc.
Each scales ranges from excellent to poor. The total
numerical scores are computed and final conclusions are
derived. Advantages – Adaptability, easy to use, low cost,
every type of job can be evaluated, large number of
employees covered, no formal training required.
Disadvantages – Rater’s biases
3. Checklist method
Under this method, checklist of statements of traits of
employee in the form of Yes or No based questions is
prepared. Here the rater only does the reporting or
checking and HR department does the actual evaluation.
Advantages – economy, ease of administration, limited
training required, standardization. Disadvantages – Raters
biases, use of improper weighs by HR, does not allow
rater to give relative ratings
4. Critical Incidents Method
The approach is focused on certain critical behaviors of
employee that makes all the difference in the
performance. Supervisors as and when they occur record
such incidents. Advantages – Evaluations are based on
actual job behaviors, ratings are supported by
descriptions, feedback is easy, reduces recency biases,
chances of subordinate improvement are high.
Disadvantages – Negative incidents can be prioritized,
forgetting incidents, overly close supervision; feedback
may be too much and may appear to be punishment.
5. Essay Method
In this method the rater writes down the employee
description in detail within a number of broad categories
like, overall impression of performance, promoteability
of employee, existing capabilities and qualifications of
performing jobs, strengths and weaknesses and training
needs of the employee. Advantage – It is extremely
useful in filing information gaps about the employees
that often occur in a better-structured checklist.
Disadvantages – It its highly dependent upon the writing
skills of rater and most of them are not good writers.
They may get confused success depends on the memory
power of raters.
6. Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales
statements of effective and ineffective behaviors
determine the points. They are said to be
behaviorally anchored. The rater is supposed to
say, which behavior describes the employee
performance. Advantages – helps overcome rating
errors. Disadvantages – Suffers from distortions
inherent in most rating techniques.
