Identification of Performance Dimensions
1. Dimension: An aspect of performance that determines effective jobperformance2. Identification of Performance Dimensions is the important first step in the
appraisal process. If a significant dimension is missed, employee moraleis likely to suffer.
3. If an irrelevant or trivial dimension is included, employees may perceivethe whole appraisal process as meaningless4. What is measured should be directly tied to what the business is trying to
achieve5. Performance dimensions are identified by Job Analysis
6. Organizations identify performance dimensions based on the StrategicObjectives of the organization

Measuring Tools1. Relative and Absolute Judgments: Measures of employee performance
can be classified on the basis of relative or absolute judgement. Relative Judgment: supervisors compare anemployees performance
to the performance of other employees doing the same job
Absolute Judgment: supervisors make judgments about anemployees performance based solely on performance standards
2. Trait Appraisal Instrument: An appraisal tool that asks a supervisor tomake judgments about worker characteristics that tend to be consistent andenduring.
3. Behavioral Appraisal Instrument: An appraisal tool that asks managers toassess a workersbehaviors
4. Outcome Appraisal Instruments: An appraisal tool that asks managers toasses the results achieved by workers.

Managing Performance
1. The effective management of humanperformance in organizations requires morethan formal reporting and annual ratings
2. A complete appraisal process includes informalday-to-day interactions between managers andworkers as well as formal face-to-faceinterviews
3. The ratings themselves are important, but evenmore critical is what managers do with them

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Shah M Saad Husain
The Appraisal Interview1. Upon completing the performance rating, the supervisor conducts an
interview with the employee to provide feedback2. When money is at stake, the manager is much more likely to take the
tasks of appraisal and feedback seriously.
3. The best management practice is to combine development, career planning and salary discussion into one performance review
4. Managers who have to justify a low salary increase will probably taketime to carefully support their performance assessment, with moredetailed feedback, making the appraisal session more valuable to theemployee
5. Inclusion of salary discussion can energize the performance discussion6. Feedback, goal setting, and making action plans can become a hollow
and meaningless exercise when salary implications are not included inthe session

Performance Improvement1. Supervisors who manage performance effectively generally share
four characteristics, they: Explore the causes of performance problems Direct attention to the cause of problems Develop an action plan and empower workers to reach a solution Direct communication of performance and provide effective
feedback
2. 3600 degree Feedback: The combination of peer, subordinate, andself-appraisal
3. With so many more employees reporting to one supervisor, it is justnot possible for the supervisor to gaugeeveryones work accurately
4. The old system where the supervisor alone reviews performance isout of sync withtodays emphasis on teamwork and participativemanagement
5. Feedback from one source is easy to discount, but a message frommany sources is hard to ignore

Key Steps in Implementing 360 o Appraisal
For a successful 360o appraisal program
1. Top management should communicate the goals of and need for 360o appraisal.
2. Employees and managers are involved in the development of theappraisal criteria and appraisal process.
3. Employees are trained in how to give and receive feedback
4. Employees are informed of the nature of the 360o appraisalinstrument and process
5. The 360o system undergoes pilot testing in one part of theorganization
6. Management continuously reinforces the goals of the 360oappraisal and is ready to change the process when necessary

2. A training program designed to increase workers efficiency is assessed by iteffects on productivity or costs.
3. The ROI of Training: calculating formula:
4. Plan ahead5. Determine what you will measure6. Design how the effectiveness of training will be assessed7. Convert nonmonetary measures to rupees terms.
