Planning is very important to our everyday life. It is found that that this important part of HR is mostly ignored

Human resource planning, or HRP, is the ongoing, continuous process of systematic planning to achieve
optimum use of an organization's most valuable asset — its” human resources”. The objective of human
resource planning is to ensure the best fit between employees and jobs while avoiding manpower shortages or
surpluses. The four key steps of the human resources planning process are analyzing present labor supply,
forecasting labor demand, balancing projected labor demand with supply and supporting organizational goals.

It also involves answering the following questions-

1. How many staff does the Organization have?

Performance management system:

Performance Management at Wipro is a continuous process and employees are observed throughout
the year for their performance.Wipro follows a formal approach three appraisal cycles which are
described below-.

Annual - This is a yearly appraisal cycle. It is carried out during the month of April and May. The critical
component measured in this appraisal is the performance of the employee during last year. This appraisal act
as an indicator for pay hikes.

Interim - This is an indicative appraisal, which is normally carried in the month of October and November.
This appraisal acts as a basis for annual appraisal. The appraisal ratings act as input during annual appraisal.
The main reason for having an interim appraisal is to appraise employee's performance half yearly as Wipro
being a tech services company, normal duration of employee under a particular project/manager/client is
shorter.

Confirmatory - This appraisal is carried out to appraise new joiners for the duration of 12 months from the
date of their joining. The main reason behind this kind of appraisal system is to remove unfairness to
employees who miss out annual appraisal cycle due to joining at a different date. Being a tech services
company Wipro is on a continuous hiring spree and confirmatory appraisal thus acts as a tool to identify
joiner's performance and giving him confirmation.

Wipro’s e-Performance Management solution not only helps the employees to establish the best practices in
Performance Management, like 360degree appraisal, MBO, etc, but also enables reduced Performance
Management cycle time without compromising the HR values, like Work Planning Conference, Work Plan
establishment, Development plans and Objective setting, Interim Review, Overall evaluation, detecting
Performance deficiencies, Tracking, Documentation and Archiving. Once the HR department reviews the
performance of the employees the Assistant (HR) updates the records for each employee’s score in the
database
PROMOTION
“Higher you go. Heavier you get”
A promotion is the advancement of an employee's rank or position in an organizational hierarchy system.
Promotion may be an employee's reward for good performance i.e. positive appraisal. Before a company
promotes an employee to a particular position it ensures that the person is able to handle the added
responsibilities by screening the employee with interviews and tests and giving them training or on-the-job
experience.
