INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Sugar industry is a very important industry to the Indian National economy, Because of its multiple contributions in the shape of employment and provision of raw materials to other industries. India is the second largest producer of sugarcane, next to Brazil the later produces primarily raw sugar while India pro duces almost exclusively white crystal sugar. In India apart from sugar other traditional sugarcane sweeteners KhandaSari Sugar is also produced for the rural markets.
Taking all sweeteners Khandasari Sugar in India is the worlds largest producer of sugar followed by the Brazil in the second place. There are 493 sugar mills operating in India with in aggregate installed capacity of 16.2 million tones of these 152 are in the private sector, 21 in the co -operative and 70 in the public sector.
The Sugar Industry has been totally regulated and controlled for the past 50 years, sugar is declared an essential commodity under the essential commodity act 195 and a plethora of legislations and control orders regulate almost every aspect of Industry, with the objective of increasing production and also making available sugar at affordable price to the consumer controls included licensing, administrated price of sugarcane, reservation of cane areas, control over the price sugar and restriction of sale/movemen t of the byproduct molasses were controlled for a long time.
Under the sugar cane control order statutory minimum price for cane every year of the commission on Agricultures cost Industry. The crushing season varies depending on the location.
Every organization has its own goals. These goals are affected by some of the problems in the organization. One of the problems that affect the achievement of goal is poor performance & lower productivity of the employees. That means whenever there is a problem of performance & productivity among workmen that will affect the organizational goals.
So this survey analysis of factors influencing performance and productivity of workmen was carried out with an intension to find out the potential problems that are connected with the workmen in an organization.
This survey will be an indication to the management about the problems relating to the workmen performance and hence the management can plan and take right action at the right time.
1. To study the factors influencing workmen performance and productivity. 2. To know the working conditions those are prevailing in the company. 3. To examine the relationship between the management and workmen. 4. To analyze the welfare facilit ies existing in the company. 5. To know the employees perception on welfare facilities provided by the company.
The relevant information necessary for the study is collected from two sources namely.
1. Primary Data :It consists of information disclosed by the personnel development heads of various authorities of the respective departments of Jeypore Sugar Company Limited.
2. Secondary Data :-
The secondary was collected from office records and other files by the Organization and various magazines, books and through internet.
1. Time factors are one of the major limitations of the study. The time period of the Study is 2 months only. So in the organization, the coverage of entire population has not been done. 2. The workmen have feared that if they reveal their true feelings, it may disclose to Management and the management may take some actions against them. 3. Some of them are unwilling to answer and this has become one of the limitations for this survey. 4. The cost factor is also one more limitation of the study 5. Since the sample size is 25% of the total employees, the results may not be accurate.

Table presents area under Sugar Cane, production and number of operating factories during the period 1994-95 to 2003-04. The table reveals that there has been an overall increase in all the above parameters of sugar industry during this period. While there has been as increase to 3618 four thousand hectors during 200 1- 02 from a level of 1641 thousand hectares during 1994 -95 in respect of area under Sugar Cane representing an increase of about 125 percent, I case of number of operating factories, it was of about 300 percent increase. Production of Sugar Cane registered a growth rate of about 400 percent while the total sugar product recorded about twelve -fold increase during the above period. With the reduction in the area under sugar cane during 2001 02, the production of sugar cane and there by the production of sugar was on the
decrease compared to previous years. However during 2008 -09, it improved reaching the production level of 12,500 thousand tones.
India low grade white sugar is increasing finding markets in countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Yemen &Iraq traders said India has a window of opportunity over coming months to promote its exports, as sugar from top produces brazil, will not come into the market until March, April said Prakash Naiknavaale, Managing Director of the Maharastra Co -operative sugar factories federation for the next few months. India could later to th e needs of countries such as Indonesia Malaysia, so Maliya, Iran, Iraq, Bangladesh&
Srilanka were added. Sugar mills in Maharashtra have recently finalized a deal with private traders to export 7000 tones of white sugar, most of which will go to Yemen and Indonesia, since December the state has struck d eals to ships some 330000 tones sugar 2002- 2003. Maharashtra has also requested that the federal government should introduce a subsidiary of US 20 a tone to sugar factories in the firm of ocean fright. India is expected to produce around 17.5 million tones of sugar this year, but produced 18.5 million tones last year. Stocks stood at over 10 million tones at the start of the sugar season in October.
Obsolescence:
Most of the factories in the private sector were set up fie to six decades ago. Their machinery has by now dilapidated. The cost of production of such units is unduly high owing to less mechanical efficiency and more down time. It will require more money for modernization of such factories. The worst handicap cropping the Industry is the low level of productivity due to inadequate irrigation facilities and untimely supply of quality seed material.
Technology:
The level of technology in the Indian sugar industry is quite high and a number of developing countries have borrowed Indian sugar technologies. Unfortunately however many of Indian factories had been up in the early 30s and have become absolute, for these the need of the hour is modernization, rehabilitation and expanding also attention needs to be paid to cane development.
Over Production
Over production due to cyclical nature and seasonal conditions and cultivations of average of sugar cane. The fluctuation in the production of sugar cane is a major problem of the day.

Given transport facilities and access is necessarily dependent up on the availability of cane in the region. This concentration is substantiated from observation of the trend of size established in different regions of this country in relation to availability of cane, comparatively the size of the sugar mills in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Maharashtra where continuous availability of cane is assured is observed to be large. Grant of production to the Industry in 19321 also helped the units to increase their size. The average per day crushing capacity of the Industry increased tremendousl y from 481 tons per day in 1932 to 1365 tons, it has been found by the planning & Commission that the cane crushing capacity of sugar factories working in our country various from 220 tons to 3200 tons per day. In Uttar Pradesh and Bihar majority of the Su gar mills have a cane crushing capacity of 2500 tons of sugar cane per day. A factory with a crushing capacity of 2500 tons of sugar cane per day is considered to be an economical unit, under the present -day working conditions. The number of factories rose from 139 in 1950-51 to 423 in 2008-2009.

COMPANY PROFILE
COMPANY PROFILE
The Jeypore Sugar Co. Ltd., (VVS Sugars) Chagallu was setup in late 1950s by shifting of the existing sugar unit of Nagaram village in Guntur District. From the 1st session of the year 1960-61, this unit was commenced for commercial production. Initially the units capacity was 850 TCD in the year 1960-61 and later on its capacity was expanded from time to time. At present the companys installed capacity is at as about 7500 TCD, and went to U.K. for further studies and got Degree from the EDINBURG UNIVERSITY OF England. After returning from U.K., he appeared for I.C.S and got selection and Ex-Office secretary for the then Madras State Government. In the year 1945, He voluntarily resigned from the Government services and need taken over the administration of KCP & THE JEYPORE SUGAR CO. LIMITED., the sugar unit at VUYYRU, in Andhra Pradesh and Mining Industry at Rayagada in Orissa were established in 1934. Ferro Manganese was started in 1958 at Rayagada. . In the year 1961, the sugar industry at Chagallu was setup by shifting the then sugar factory at Nagaram Village of Guntur district. In the year 1948, K.I.C. Ltd., was started for manufacturing of Fertilizer, Soda gas and other chemicals, in the year 1952 K.C.P. central workshop was setup for the manufacturing sugar and cement Industry.
Production Profile:
The Jeypore Sugar Company limited was in corporate as a public limited company on 29 th July 1936 under the Indian companies act, 1913 and was the first company to be registered in the then newly formed province of Orissa The company started a sugar unit at Rayagada, Karaput District, Orissa with a initial capacity of 150 TCD and subsequently expanded to 450 TCD. The company diversified into various other activities like manufacture of industrial alcohol, Indian made foreign liquor and ferromanganese. In the course of expansion of the company, a separate sugar unit was established at Nagaram in Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh in 1958. Due to non-availability of sugarcane the unit was shifted to Chagallu, West Godavari District. In Andhra Pradesh in 1961 with an installed capacity of 750 TCD and having licensed capacity of 1250 TCD.
The present licensed and installed capacities of various units are given below. Production capacity of Sugar and its production:

2. Distillery at Rayagada:
The company states this unit in 1948. At present, the unit gets its raw material viz., molasses from the company sugar unit at Chagallu. The company terminates the molasses and district and some to make rectified spirit and extra and neutra l alcohol after second distillation. We are contemplating manufacture of IMPL in this unit during the year 3. Electro metallurgical division: The production in this unit was very major due to heavy cost of inputs and low demand for ferromanganese intern valley and for exports. The production of the unit was adopted effective from January 1995. No production in this unit during the year in view of unfavorable market conditions .
project was financed by term loans availed from ICICI and Sugar development fund from internal accuracy of the company. We expected to crush about 13 lakhs tones of cane during 2002-2003 season, anticipating the increase in crushing, the capacity increased from 7500 TCD to 8500TCD but due to served drought conditions and scanty rainfall, the yields went down and we crushed only 9,86,500 MT upto 31st March, 2003 the recovery is also dropped drastically.
The company presently owns 147.55 acres of freehold to Chagallu, were the existing sugar unit is located. The extent of are covered by buildings in 71.56 acres. The company, at present has to sugar Go downs for storing 7 lakhs bags of sugar.

PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
EMPLOYEE APPRAISAL:-
After the employee has been selected, placed and inducted, he/she must be appraised next. Performance appraisal is the act of increasing knowledge and skill of a employee for doing a certain job. Individual should develop and progress simultaneously for their survival and attainment of mutual goals. Performance appraisal is the organized procedure by which people acquire knowledge or skill for a definite purpose. No company has a choice of whether to rate appraisal or not, but the only choice is the method of performance. At present performance appraisal of employees is necessary because many jobs have assumed a highly technological character and under automation we require highly skilled operatives.
The performance can be defined as DEFINITIONS:It is the systematic evaluation of the individual with respect to his or her performance on the job and his or her potential for development.
Performance appraisal is a method of evaluating the behavior of employees in the work spot including both quantitative and qualitative aspects of job performance.
A process in which employees strengths and weakness are identified to improve the performance on the present and future jobs.
Objectives of P.A
Appraise performance
Performance interview
PURPOSE:-
A better performance appraisal system should also focus on the individual and his development, so as to make him achieve the desired performance. The development focus of appraisal in rather new and have come as a result of research in behavioral sciences. I suggests that while results are important the organizations should also examine and prepare their human resources to achieve the results.
Performance appraisal has direct linkage with such personnel systems as selection, training mobility etc., appraisal and selection have a lot to do with the criteria or job expectation. Well-developed job descriptions can be extremely useful in not only selecting people but also evaluating them on the same criteria.
OBJECTIVES OF APPRAISAL
To understand the nature of appraisal it might be useful to look at its objectives. Almost all organizations practice performance appraisal in one or the other to achieve or more objectives. These objectives may vary from organization to organization and also in the same organization from time to time.
He concluded on the following two objectives of appraisal. 1. Performance appraisal was considered a development technique in the hands of managers aimed at calling attention to a subordinates behavior flaws in order to improve his administrative ability. 2. Performance appraisal was viewed as a necessary vehicle for assessing management potential.
There certain stages while evaluating the performance of an individual mostly they consider factors relating to the job and their behavior in the organization. The following stages in the process of performance appraisal system.
STEP 1: CREATING AND SETTING UP PERFORMANCE STANDARDS: This should be done for every employee at each level in every department, accordance with the organizational goals. These standards should be clear and objective, capable of being understood and measured.
STEP 2: MUTUALLY SET IDENTIFIABLE AND MEASUREABLE GOALS: Setting mutually the identifiable and measurable goals communicate with the employees to discuss with them how best the goals can be set in an identifiable measurable manner. Seek information about their expectations regarding the performance standards.
STEP 3: MEASURING PRESENT LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE: The present level of performance is assumed by collecting information relating to it from managers and personal observation by oral or written reports.
STEP
4:
COMPARING
AND
APPRAISING
THE
PRESENT
LEVEL
OF
PERFORMANCE: The focus here is to note the deviations in the actual performance from the set standards.
STEP 5: DISCUSSING THE APPRAISAL WITH THE EMPLOYEES: To ensure that the appraisal is transparent and free from bias or subjectivity, discuss with the concerned employees. The employees may raise his/her objections in case the appraisal is far from reality. Free exchange of such information reduces not only the scope for subjectivity errors in the process of appraisal but also may strengthen the morale and self-esteem of the employees. When the appraisal is positively or negatively particularly, were the appraisal is negative, the employee is to be handled with a lot of care so that he does not get disillusioned.
STEP 6: IDENTIFY AND INITIATE THE CORRECTIVE ACTION: Identify ad initiate the corrective action where necessary suitable corrective action may be identified and initiated immediately. At times, this may yield only temporary results. Immediate corrective action is often described as putting out fire Most often, this may not be the solution. It is necessary to identify the source of deviation and try to adjust the difference permanently. This calls for corrective action for permanent results. Though it may be difficult or time consuming to go to the source of deviation, it saves time and resources tomorrow when the problem may get bigger. BASIS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL: What should be rated? Six criterias are there for assessing performance i.e.
y y y y y y
Quality Quantity Timeliness Cost effectiveness Need for supervision Interpersonal impact
WHO WILL APPRAISE ? The performance supervisor is the right person to evaluate the performance of the employee. It is because the supervisor monitors the progress of the employee on a day-to-day basis.
SUBORDINATES: The subordinates access the performance of the manager and this is not very common in our country, at least.
MANAGER BY HIMSELF OR HERSELF This is called self-appraisal. The manager is encouraged to access his own performed and forward this report to the management for necessary action.
USERS OF SERVICES: Most of the times, the customers of the services are the real judges of the performance the department. The personnel in the service department can be assumed based on the customer satisfaction surveys.
CONSULTANTS More often, an outside consultant is engaged for appraising the performance of the employee at different levels. This s method is preferred to overcome the problem of bias or subjectively in the process of appraisal. The success of performance appraisal richly depends on how best it carried out in an unbiased manner performance appraisal is a tool to diagnose the deficiencies of the
employees skill and knowledge, and also to determine their training and development needs.
METHODS OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL To make and effective evaluation of the performance of appraise, the appraiser should select a particular technique. Several methods and techniques of appraisal are available for measuring the performance of and employee. There are differed for various reasons. They are broadly categorized in two categories. Traditional methods Modern methods
TRADITIONAL METHODS The traditional method lay emphasis on the training on the individuals personality & responsibility, creativity, integrity leadership potential, intelligence, judgment, organization ability, etc The various traditional methods ate 1. Straight ranking method 2. Man to man comparison method 3. Grading 4. Graphic rating scales 5. Forced choices description method 6. Forced distribution method 7. Checklist 8. Freeform essay method 9. Critical incidents 10. Group appraisal 11. Field review method 12. Paired comparison method
MODERN METHODS: Modern methods place more emphasis on the evaluation of work result- job achievements than on personality traits. Result oriented appraisals tend to be more objective and worthwhile, especially for counseling and development purposes. The modern methods are 1. Assessment centers 2. Appraisal by result or management by objective 3. Human assets accounting method 4. Behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) 5. 360-Degree performance appraisal
360-DEGREE PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL This is one on the latest and widely used method of performance subordinated do the appraisal. Hence this is a method where each and every person with whom the employee may interact during his work does the appraisal of one person. This is an effective method among all since this is method in which there is a possibility of hundred percent discussions with people disregarding with their cadres and also possible for receiving more ideas from all. They may include the security guard, the receptionist, the sweepers evade boys and of course his superior, subordinates and peers. CHALLENGES OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
y y
Create a culture of excellence that inspires every employee to improve and lend himself or herself to be assessed. Align organizational objectives to individual aspirations.
y y y y y y
Clear growth paths for talented individuals Provide new challenges to rejuvenate careers that have reached plateau stage. Forge a partnership with people for maintaining their careers. Empower employees to make decisions without the fear of falling. Embed teamwork in all operational processes. Debureaucratise the organization structure for ease of flow of information.
Appraising Teams:
Set tangible targets each KRA. In corporate stretch elements for each target. Fix the minimum acceptable target.
Determine intangible parameters which indicate pockets of individual excellence with the team
Identify individuals who have excelled discount subjective factors by including assessors from outside the team to identity outstanding individuals
After developing a concrete performance appraisal system, its effective implementation and evaluation is proceeded with along with the rater, rate should also aware of the structure and content of the performance appraisal system the framework of evaluation process. Hence the rates should fully inform about these aspects because these information provided by them will not fully serve purpose without having knowledge about unbiased and objective evaluation is done and the conclusion is derived.
Performance Appraisal is a NINE-STEP process 1. Establish performance standards. 2. Communicate standards\expectations to employee. 3. Measure actual performance by following the instructions. 4. Adjust the actual performance with that of others and previous.. 5. Compare the adjusted performance with standards and find out deviations, if any. 6. Compare the actual performance to employee concerned. 7. Communicate the actual performance to employee concerned. 8. Suggest changes in ob analysis and standards, if any. 9. Follow-up performance appraisal report.
BENEFITS OF APPRAISAL
It offers a rare change for a supervisor and subordinate to have time out for a one on one discussion of important work issues that might not otherwise be addressed.
Almost universally where performance appraisal is conducted properly both supervisors and subordinates have reported the experience as beneficial and positive.
Appraisal offers a valuable opportunity to focus on work activities and goals, to identify and correct existing problems, and to encourage better future performance. Thus the performance of the whole organization is enhanced.
For many employees, an official appraisal interview may be the only time they get to have exclusive, uninterrupted access to their supervisor.
An organizations goals can be achieved only when people put in their best efforts. How to ascertain whether an employee has shown his or her best performance on a given job? The answer is performance appraisal. Employee assessment is one of the fundamental jobs of HRM, but not an easy one though. Performance appraisal is an objective assessment of an individuals performance against well defined benchmarks. Performance Appraisal system has been established in the firm several years ago. The management, with the help of conducted several innovative experiments and introduced many improvements in their existing system. The company believes that the system of performance appraisal is a strong tool and if it is wrongly rated, the results may mar. it printed on the format, a flowchart with full details mentioning dates and months for execution. It first goes to appraise who writes down, if any, all his non-routine and excellent achievements in the self-appraisal column. Then the rater, his immediate boss, puts his remarks on this and rates the appraise by ticking outstanding, good, fair and unsatisfactory on the columns of quality of output, job knowledge, decision making, communication skills, quality of work, human relations, planning and organizing, creativity and initiative, development of subordinates or team members, leadership and motivational skill, reliability under pressure, time management, etc., The reviewer thoroughly reviews column by column and gives his own opinion. Before it is sent to top management, for filling up the form have also been given. Personal prejudices should not influence the ratings, they should be objective to help the appraise to improve his performance, etc. and this system has been in vogue and generally satisfies all
levels of executives and above. The management takes pride in this system, which results to retain the employees.
What is performance ?
Performance means outcome achieved or accomplishment at work. Performance mainly consists of two aspects. Behavior Outcome
EFFICACY =EFFICENCY+EFFECTIVENESS 1. Capacity or power to product a desired effect. 2. The ratio of the output to the input of any system. 3. Ability to achieve stated goals or objectives, judged in terms of both output and impact.
PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Performance strategies can be worked out once we are clear of our performance goals. Now we can plan hoe to achieve the desired performance goals.
PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS These strategies may defined what kind of resources, human or non-human, are required, what are the current resources, what are the gaps in the resources, how are we going to fill these resources gap and what is the time frame for the same, so that we have enough resources at the earliest to extract desired performance objectives. Further, we also need to assess, our current manpower/skills available, competencies available in the organization and their current proficiency levels, and to what extent their proficiency levels need to be improved to achieve performance goals. This gives us gaps.
PERFORMANCE ON: Planning: Once we identify requirements of performance, we can plan performance extraction in terms of the following Identify and understand if current job profiles, roles are consistent to extract desired performance. If there is any role conflict or need to realign or redefine certain job profiles or positions, do the rework and structure each job profile in each function that enables the job holder to give expected results as per KRAs. Further clarify transparently division of labor where employee has enough work loads. So that performance doesnt get stressed and stretched. High level of employee engagement is required. Manpower planning is also an important aspect at this stage. Conduct a thorough analysis of existing manpower structure, desired manpower.
Ensuring organization has the right infrastructure to deliver performance is also very essential. Ensure the company has enough resources like required technology, tools & equipments, facilities, infrastructures etc that facilitates performance without any disturbances.
Policy:
Right policy framework is also a key to understand companys performance philosophy, performance expectations and the manner in which performance has to be delivered. A detailed performance management policy needs to be defined which outlines companys performance framework, measurement and assessment methodologies, rewarding and awarding mechanisms, and performance improvement facilities etc.
PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEM IN THE JEYPORE SUGARS COMPANY LTD 1. OBJECTIVE AND PHILOSOPHY: Performed appraisal process in THE JEYPORE SUGARS COMPANY LTD is essential focused performance through employee development. Our endeavor is to build a sustainable performance culture. The immediate superior will appraise the sub-ordinate on his performance on the job. This also implies that the focus is on performance improvement, growth and employee alignment with organization strategy and values and not merely on rewards and differentiation.
PERFORMANCE APPRISAL PHILOSOPHY IN THE JEYPORE SUGARS COMPANY LTD Align employees with organizational strategy and values. Be perceived as transparent and fair in the process. Be oriented to people development and yet, permit the onus of development on the individual. Encourage teamwork and collaboration. Create a system of assessment by team rather than individuals. Differentiate among team members based on performance and potential.
a. Performance Planning\Goal Setting. b. Performance Coaching. c. Performance Reviews, yearly\Annual Review. d. Feedback and Consequence Management.
Once the business\functional score card is frozen, the superior and the employee should meet to clarify expectations from their key customers\departments and each other. This input should be converted into performance goal to be met during the review period. Conceptual approach To be a good one must believe that: 1. An individual has the capacity to grow: Every individual has an innate capability to grow and excel. The role of the developer is to create and enabling climate. 2. Human nature is essentially constructive and social: At heart, people are selfmotivated to develop themselves. 3. Self-respect is a basic human need: The superior under no circumstances should illtreat their subordinate as this may kill the spirit of the employee. 4. Perceptions determine experience and behavior. Employees exhibit the kind of behavior that you expect of them. Positive strokes or praise help reinforce a particular behavior.
A relationship based on empathy, warmth, respect and genuineness is necessary for the success of any coaching initiative.
Performance Review: The superior while reviewing the performance of the employee shall try to take feedback from as many sources as possible in order to arrive at a reasonably objective conclusion. It would be ideal if the superior regularly gets this input from the relevant departments to avoid any bias. The superior then analyses goal achievements data, self-development efforts and the feedback from customers, suppliers or plant managers. The superior may call the employee to present his\her performance during the review period and seek clarification wherever required. During the exploratory meeting, the superior must not give any performance feedback or the rating to the employee.
HALO EFFECT The halo effect is the tendency to rate someone high or low in all categories because he or she is high or low in one or two areas.
REGENCY BIAS Tendency to assess people based on most recent behavior and ignoring behavior that is older.
LENIENCY BIAS Tendency to rate higher than is warranted, usually by accompanied by some rationalization as to why this is appropriate.
STRICTNESS BIAS Tendency to rate lower than is warranted, usually by judgment as ti why this is inappropriate.
CENTRAL TENDENCY Central tendency is when one tends to put everyone in the middle of the road and all of our subordinates as component.
PERSONAL BIAS This occur when a rater gives a higher rating because the employee has qualities similar to him or her (or a lower rating because the employee has dissimilar qualities)
MANAGEMENT FEEDBACK AND CONSEQUENCE a) Superior gives feedback and review performance of their team at various times during the year. However the feedback and development plan at the end of the performance cycle is important, as it is a holistic review taking inputs from various departments.
At the same time, the development plan needs to be prepared in congruence with the selfdevelopment plans, technical and behavioral needs and career aspirations and spelt out by employee in the performance appraisal form to enable better performance. It is likely that some employees would be disappointed when they receive the final rating. It is the job of the superior to manage the aspiration of different levels of performance and keep them motivated. It is necessary that the superior discusses the rating in detail with the employee and explain the rationale. Performance appraisal also linked to the reward system of the organization. Merit pay increases and individual bonuses are a function of individual, business and organization performance.
KEY PLAYERS IN ROLE OF PERFORMANCE APPRISAL: Role of the employee: Employee are expected to clarify expectations from their key departments who may be their immediate superior, customers, peers and subordinates at beginning of the review period and use the same as an input for framing goals. Employees are also expected to proactively seek performance feedback from key departments. During the yearly review, the bonus is on the employees to seek clarification on the expectations and give an honest feedback to his superior. The employee is also required to give honest input at the end of the review period about the quality of the process, feedback and the improvement areas at job. The employee should proactively seek the execution of the development plan with both the superior and the concerned HR. Role of the Supervisor: Supervisor is expected to ensure that the goals are set and signed off as per organizational timeliness. In business Units or functions where goals change frequently based on changing upstream priorities, the supervisor must chart out a broad roadmap as goals for his team. In case the employee has project goals, the supervisor needs to involve the employees at the time of goal setting. The supervisor should give sufficient comfort to the employee so that he\she is able to respond with honest feedback. However, it must be made clear by the supervisor that the rating given non-negotiable and cannot be altered following the final discussion and closure unless It is prima facie evident that a gross injustice has been made. The supervisor may call the employee during the review period to understand what the employee had written and seek clarification wherever required.
The supervisor is accepted to follow with respective HR to implement the development plan.
Role of HR: HR has to support and educate the managers (supervisors and employees) in administrative and technical areas such as coaching and feedback.
HR will also help in implementing the development plan and analyze the closure section for monitoring quality of feedback.
Solving Raters problems Training of raters must help strengthen the factors that tend to improve accuracy of ratigs and weaken those that lower the accuracy of the performance measurement. Factors that help improve accuracy 1. The rater has observed and is familiar with behaviors to be appraised. 2. The rater has document behaviors to improve the recall. 3. The rater has a checklist to obtain and review job-related information. 4. The rate is aware of personal biases and is willing to take action to minimize their effect. 5. Higher levels of management are held accountable for reviewing all ratings. 6. Performance factors are properly defined.
