organizations need to be above the bottom quartile on each of the 37 practices that drive the

Refers to the archetypes model, leadership driven has the biggest result of aspiration in PT. Bio
Farma. This archetype is recommended to be applied due to its domination rather than the other

PeoplePerformanceReview
As part of performance management system, this practice are strongly related to performance
contract practice. The deficiency in recent appraisal system can be enhanced by using the result
approach. The result approach focuses on managing the objective, measurable results of a job of
workgroup.
The subjectivity can be minimized from the measurement process, relying on objective,
quantifiable indicators of performance where the result are the closest indicator of ones
contributiontoorganizationaleffectiveness.
Throughthispractice,PT.BioFarmashouldhas:
1. Peopleperformanceassessmentprogram
2. Peopleperformancereview
3. Individualappraisal
ConsequenceManagement
Consequence management program is linking rewards and punishment to individual
performance. Consequence management practice is divided into positive consequence (rewards,
incentiveandrecognition)andnegativeconsequence(punishment).Anappropriateconsequenceis
whentheemployeesachievetheirperformancecontract,thecompanypraise,encourage,recognize
andrewardthem.Ontheotherhand,whentheyarenotdoingwhattheycommittedinperformance
contract, the company gives them negative consequence and engages them in a conversation to
understandwhyprogresshasnotbeenmade.
PT. Bio Farma has to ensure the rewards and punishments are given as the objective
consequencesofindividualperformance.Itistheessentialofconsequencemanagementpractice.
