PMS is a measurement of delivered output expected from an individual or a group of individuals within a time frame under specific conditions.

Achieving desired business results and building sustainable growth depends on how employees are contributing towards larger business goals. For this, employees need to have clarity on the expectations from their roles, and how their contributions will be measured and rewarded. Effective Performance Management System (PMS) brings this clarity and drives employees to deliver their best performance and translate business strategy into results.

We recognize that PMS cannot be just an annual postmortem and it needs to be a dashboard which helps executives to direct their efforts towards achieving goals. It helps executives in differentiating high performers from low performers and takes decisions on rewards and promotions. It also identifies training & developmental needs of employees. Effective PMS promotes meritocracy and creates performance driven culture in the organization.

We assist organizations to design (re-design) and implement PMS system in line with the overall organization’s goal. Our consultants emphasizes on following four fundamental elements of performance management systems:

Objectivity: It should provide objective measurement of individual’s performance against targets set in the beginning of the year

Accountability: It should be uniform and consistent across the organization with clear linkages to other HR processes & systems such as Promotion, Training and Development and Succession Planning

Transparency: It should provide clarity to individual’s and cascade accountability right from top to the last level in the organization by way of assigning responsibilities to every individual

Implementation: It should be simple and easy to implement and practice

We believe that Effective performance management has two parts; one is appropriate design and second is proper implementation. PMS is not only a HR process but is a business process and it is very important that every employee irrespective of levels understands it and effectively practices it.

As an implementation strategy we conduct PMS workshops to help managers to -

Focus on the Performance Management process and the expected outcome rather than on the Appraisal
Set SMART goals for every employee
Motivate employees by sharing their strengths along with highlighting their shortcomings in a way which they can see as opportunity for improvement rather than failure.
Create an open communication culture.
