If the only time an employee hears of how he or she is performing is once per year,
there are bound to be some surprises in there. Many managers use the existence of
a performance management system as an excuse to delay giving feedback until the
formal review period—but this is a recipe for disaster. The formal review period
should be just that: a formal summary of status. There should be no surprises at
that time if employees are given feedback at appropriate times throughout the year.
In other words, this should not be the first time an employee hears how he or she is
tracking against goals and expectations.
Page 21 of 26
4. ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
Page 22 of 26
employee does not get discourage and also employees do not leave the
organization especially for Le Mendoza Pharmaceutical Company.
Feedback must be goal-related. Since the goal of performance management
system is to achieve the organizational goal we need to coach the employee
before and after evaluating their performance. Provide the resources required
for them to get to the management expectations.
Feedback must be two-way. Workplace dissatisfaction is associated with
supervisors’ unwillingness to listen to their workers
Performance management system should be job-related so for an effective
performance management results it is recommended to confer with the
employee job description. Bring into line the organizations goals with the
jobs objective so that every employees work lead to the organizational goal.
Communicate management expectations to the employee so that a
widespread understanding must exist between management and the
employee regarding the job expectations, the nature of job to be
accomplished and the standards by means of which the work is evaluated.
Assess the employee’s performance on the basis of various methods. Like:
By self appraisal in which the employee is asked by his supervisor to weigh
up his/her own work. By peer appraisal by which staff of equal rank within
the organization are asked by their supervisor to evaluate the employee.
Team Appraisal: In this type of appraisal employees who work as part of a
team are asked by their supervisors to assess the teams work. 360-Degree or
Full Circle Appraisal: the employees work is reviewed by congregation
input from representatives of all the groups the employee intermingle with
such as supervisor, peers, subordinates and clients. Management-by-
Objectives: The employee’s achievements of work objectives that are set in
association with his/her supervisor are evaluated. Through using these
appraisal methods we have more clear evaluation of employees for their
Page 23 of 26
work done by them. Through these the employee is required to understand
why the subordinate or peer have come to conclusions so he is able to
correct any problems. Performance management system should be more
frequently conducted on the new employees than those of the older
employees.
6. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Feedback can be constructive and supportive of an individual. It needs to
focus on the behavior of a person and not the person. No judgment of the
person, just facts. No generalization, just specifics, and in a tone that is
gentle and empathetic. Encouraging the person to reflect on the feedback
elicits commitment.
Focus on the recipients, listen first, gather your data to make decision and
don’t take it personal
Make it opportune. Try not to stand by over 48 hours after an occurrence to
address it.
Feedback is a two-route road for the both administrators and workers. Permit
your representatives to speak with their administrators also.
Focus on the current objectives. Giving vague "character based" feedback
isn't useful or essential.
Try to adjust among positive and negative input. In the event that you can't
discover any positive input, it very well might be an ideal opportunity to
think about a Performance Improvement Plan.
Keep it reliable. Your representatives need feedback more than two times
per year. Month to month or even every other week feedback is better.
