PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL GUIDELINES 2014-2015) (Taken from PHFI Circular)
At this time of year, we ask the staff members & supervisors to begin the annual performance appraisal process. To assist this we are providing the information below to help you plan for and conduct performance appraisals for each of your direct reports.
Overview Managing staff performance is a critical supervisory responsibility to help employees achieve the
project / organizational goals and develop the skills and competencies to reach their career goals.
Supervisors are expected, through regular communication and assessment of performance, to share a
clear understanding of what their team members are expected to achieve in their jobs, and also mentor
them to meet those expectations. This needs to be achieved through a documented process for planning
performance, communicating about it, and assessing and rating job performance.
Employees are responsible for managing their own job performance; however, they may need
mentoring, assistance, and coaching from their supervisors. The employee should participate fully in
planning and assessing their job performance.
Time Frame For consistency across PHFI and alignment with the Annual Increment process, we urge you to
complete your performance feedback discussions and assessments and the signed forms along with the
excel sheet should reach Human Resources on or before 15th June 2015.
Process It is necessary that supervisors meet with their team members to review individual employee’s
work during the year under review. We recommend that supervisors utilize the following
five-step performance appraisal process:
1. Prepare data and feedback from your own observations over the past 12 months for
all employees.
2. As appropriate, ask employees to provide a self-assessment of their performance prior to
the appraisal discussion. Also ask the employees to attach their CV in the standard PHFI
format.
3. Have a full discussion with employees about their performance over the past 12 months to
provide both positive and developmental feedback with specific references to the employees’
accomplishments and contributions.
a. Recognize achievements and identify areas for growth, improvement, and/or development.
b. Review any changes to the job responsibilities made over the past 12 months.
c. Set new goals and objectives for the next 12 months.
d. Engage employees in conversation on ways to improve or enhance their performance.
e. Provide employees with the opportunity to seek guidance and support to improve
performance. Actively convey your support to help enhance motivation and success.
4. Finalize the appraisals after the discussions and in consideration of the employees’ input. The
employees and the supervisors should sign the appraisal form before sharing it with Human
Resources, who retain them in the individual’s file.
Please note that it is important to listen carefully to the employee’s views before recording your own, in the interests of fairness and to foster trust in the process.
If an employee’s job performance is not satisfactory and normal coaching, counseling and training have not brought performance to an acceptable level, please give clear feedback. Spell out exactly what the employee has to do to improve and what the consequences will be if he/she does not improve the performance. However keep the dialogue respectful, matured and professional.
Final Grade
While assigning the final grades to individuals, supervisors are requested to grade all employees
under their supervision in four performance categories, O B, C and D. Generally, staff should be
distributed, plus or minus 5%, by category, as follows:
Outstanding - Grade ‘O’ Very Good - Grade ‘A’ Satisfactory – Grade ‘B’ Need Improvement - Grade ‘C’
The supervisor should give clear explanation with specific examples for supporting the final grades for all the ‘O’ and ‘C’ cases. These will be reviewed by the Designated Committee.
Functional Competencies Description
The detailed descriptions of the functional competencies are given below. These will assist the supervisors rate the individual against each of these.
Applicable to Research Staff only
Research Competence and Impact (applicable to Research & PHP Staffs only): The components of
this criterion include research quality, productivity, and a well-developed research agenda. The
balance among these components is judged in individual cases through dialogue between the
researcher and the PHFI management committee as part of the performance evaluation process.
• Research Quality. The quality of the research conducted by PHFI scholars should be comparable to that conducted by scholars at leading universities or research organizations. Research quality is best demonstrated through publication in independently peer-reviewed PHFI publications, refereed journals, or independently peer-reviewed publications from publishers other than the PHFI Press. Other written material, published and unpublished, including PHFI Reports, also contributes to the evaluation of research quality. However, the core test of research quality is the judgment of relevant peer groups through independent review.
• Research Productivity. Staff members are expected to produce a body of work of sufficient volume to demonstrate their ability and commitment to scholarly activity. There is no single output measure for productivity, such as the number of published articles, though frequency of publication is a well-recognized and respected indicator of a researcher’s productivity. Productivity is judged on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the nature of the individual researcher’s agenda, projects, and audiences.
• Research Agenda. Each scholar’s research agenda should advance PHFI's mission. Staff members are expected to select topics that, ultimately, are relevant to contemporary public health problems. Successful researchers are able to develop a line of research that generates new knowledge, new methods, or that improves understanding of policy issues. Activities should be expected, ultimately, to have a significant impact on the ability of experts and policymakers to understand and solve important policy problems.
Fundraising. PHFI depends on outside funding for its continued viability, and staff members are expected to actively participate in fundraising activities. Research and technical staff, in general, are responsible for covering their salary. This responsibility increases with tenure at PHFI. Senior research and technical staff are expected to engage in fundraising activities to support others on the staff and themselves. Junior staff are expected to participate in fundraising activities, such as proposal writing, but need not necessarily initiate or lead them. Fundraising performance is judged by both the quality and quantity of proposals written, as well as working with the development staff in their fundraising efforts. This includes meeting with donors and prospects to discuss their research and technical areas.
48
Applicable to PHP Staff Only
PHP Competence and Impact: PHFI values the practice of public health and the
involvement of technical staff in producing changes in the public health system and
practice is a key measure of their contribution to PHFI’s mission. The components of this
criterion include productivity, technical input and impact on the problem or area of public
health that the staff member seeks to improve. As with research staff, staff members
working in areas of technical support or public health practice are expected to
demonstrate their impact on specific outcomes. Both quality and quantity of work or
accomplishments will be taken into consideration for increments and promotion
decisions. For example, a staff member who has been working on improving TB
program performance should provide specific indicators that show their involvement in
these changes. Invitations to join key government committees or serve in a policy
advisory role would be indicators of involvement and recognition. Specific project reports
that are cited can also be indicators of impact.
Applicable to Research and PHP Staff
Competence in Public Communication and Outreach. PHFI research and PHP staff are
expected to plan and integrate communications efforts to improve public health into
their work. This obligation is consistent with PHFI’s objective to enhance public
understanding of its research. It also helps to increase the organization’s visibility and
impact. Engagement through communication can encompass a range of activities,
including but not limited to: briefings for policymakers, stakeholders, and the media;
participation in conferences and workshops; written products such as articles; op-eds;
issue briefs; press releases. Researchers are expected to actively participate in
dissemination of research results and written products.
Project Management. Research and technical staff member must demonstrate the
ability to initiate and complete PHFI research projects (from proposal to final report and
other written products) successfully and to meet the terms of grants on time and within
budget. These can be externally funded projects or internal assignments. In addition, as
an individual's project management experience grows, PHFI expects that the staff
member will successfully manage projects of increasing size and complexity.
