Need for “Parivartan”

ISPAT

Hewitt© 2003, All Rights Reserved 5


So what is “Parivartan”???

• It is the name of Ispat’s new Performance Management System

• It covers the executive cadre spanning grades E08 to E19

• Your appraisal for 2003-04 will be conducted as per Parivartan

PARIVARTAN stands for excellence, sharp growth through performance


and alignment to business goals. It reflects the spirit of ISPAT’s endeavours
towards aligning each individual’s performance to the strategic thrust of the
organisation.

Need for “PARIVARTAN”
“Parivartan” was needed to ensure the following

• Clear alignment of individual performance with Corporate, Division &


Department goals
• Objective measurement of performance against targets plus
assessment of skills and abilities
• Uniformity and consistency of the process across the organisation,
clearly aligning it with the corporate MIS
• Clear defined steps in the process with clearly articulated roles for each
player, minimising scope for subjectivity
• Ownership of PMS by line, HRD as a facilitator only
• Visible and transparent linkage with rewards and other HR systems
• Simplicity and ease of administration - assuming future technology
enablement

Identifying Key Result Areas

KRAs are directly linked to the Ispat’s business goals and to ensure
that alignment, Hewitt has used a tool called the “Balanced Scorecard”

Balanced Scorecard - a recap


•Framework for articulation of corporate strategy
•Development of strategic initiatives along 4 themes - Financial,
Customer, Internal Process and Learning & Growth
•Deriving the Division objectives and initiatives from the
corporate objectives and initiatives
•Cascading the Division objectives and goals into the
department objectives and initiatives
•Carrying on this process to identify the individual scorecard
that is aligned to the corporate goals
Hewitt© 2003, All Rights Reserved 12
What is a Balanced Scorecard

The Balanced Scorecard is a way of using financial and non-financial


measures to provide a well-rounded report on past performances as
well as an indication of future performance

Financial
Main Driver of Performance
How do we look
against the Secondary Influence
financial objectives

attract?

Learning &
Growth
How do we get

Hewitt© 2003, All Rights Reserved 13
Key benefit of using Balanced Scorecard is to align
performance to strategy

Measure business performance using a set of key result areas that are
based on business drivers and linked to the business strategy

Easy communication of strategy throughout the organisation

Assist in the close alignment and prioritisation of current and proposed


strategic initiatives

Assist in the definition of objectives and scope for key projects

Improved employee satisfaction through aligned reward and recognition


schemes and better two-way communication

Development through PARIVARTAN

A key element of Parivartan, focusing on building individual capability


using Competencies. Competencies are “Skills and abilities described
in behavioral terms that are coachable, observable, measurable, and
critical to organizational performance” for e.g., teamwork

– No marks assigned - used only for Development

– 11 Competencies have been identified and defined

– 4 Levels of Proficiency and behavioral indicators defined for each


Competency

Hewitt© 2003, All Rights Reserved 19


Recap
Measurement framework includes
• Key Result Areas - Derived from the Corporate Strategy and Goals
•Routine Responsibilities - Present in the Job Descriptor with targets that
are set internally or through initiatives like six Sigma

Development tools include


• Competencies with proficiency levels defined for each unique role in
Ispat
•To be used only for development activities

Key Features
• Targets defined for each performance indicator- this ensures objectivity
in the system
•Focus on behavioral competencies that are enablers for employees to
meet their performance targets

Hewitt© 2003, All Rights Reserved 20


Rating scale for Performance Evaluation

The rating scale used for the evaluation of performance on KRA’s is a five point scale and is
explained below:

1: Exceeds Expectations consistently - Consistently exceeded the expectations beyond a point


which deserves special mention
This is the highest rating and is given when the results put in by an individual is truly outstanding.

2: Exceeds Expectations occasionally - Exceeded most of the set expectations by a reasonable


margin
This rating is to be used when a majority of the the set expectations were exceeded and outcomes
and efforts were above average.

3: Meets Expectations consistently - Met all the set expectations as per target
This rating is the average rating, when an employee delivers what s/he is bound to deliver. Needs
to be given only when all the expectations were met.

4: Meets Expectations on most occasions - Met most of the set expectations


When an employee meets most, but misses some of the expectations, this rating is applicable.

5: Does not meet Expectations on most occasions - Failed to meet most of the expectations.
When a majority of the expectations are not met, this rating is applicable

Uniformity in targets
The Challenge
There are a number of different divisions in Ispat - how do we ensure that
the targets set for each of these different divisions have the same level of
difficulty in achieving them
This problem is evident when you consider the two broad set of activities
— Production divisions
— Support divisions

Criticality
This is critical because there is a component of the pay that is linked to the
achievement of targets.
It is imperative to ensure that meeting targets across all divisions of Ispat
means the same level of efforts have been put in by the incumbent

Solution
We ensure this by using a Stretch Tool

Hewitt© 2003, All Rights Reserved 32


So what is a Stretch Tool all about..

• To ensure that the same level of difficulty is built into the targets defined for
Objective
each of the divisions, once a year at beginning of Q1

Definition of • Definition of ‘stretch’ on four parameters


Stretch
• Each parameter defined on a 3-point rating scale (Low, Medium, High)
• Rating needs to be defined for each target for the Division
• Standards on the 3-point rating scale to be set by the Top Management (Core
Team)

• Determine “Stretch” levels for each Corporate Target


Stretch
Computation • Arrive at Average Corporate Stretch Score
Process

Likewise, stretch scores will be calculated for all the corporate targets. It is to be
noted that stretch scores will be calculated by taking the target defined at “Level

Once all the corporate stretch scores are calculated, we will take an average of
the same. This average will then form the basis of equating stretch levels for all
the divisions.
Compute Average Corporate Stretch

Business Success Stretch Scores


Criteria
Revenue (Rs. Crores) 9
Market Share (%) 10
Cost Reduction 10
% Utilization 7
Average Stretch Score 9

This score of 9 will serve as the basis of calculation of each of the division’s
targets. The Core Committee will need to ensure that the average stretch score
calculated for the targets of a division is 9 or close to 9 [In the range of + - 1, i.e.,
8 to 10]

below:

division, the Core Committee will revisit the targets.

Monthly Reviews

Objective • To ensure that targets reflect market realities- as reflected in the “Monthly
Rolling Plan”

Applicability • Divisions where the targets are very flexible and their realization depends upon
market forces - like the various Production units
• The division heads of the respective divisions need to decide at the beginning of
the year whether monthly reviews are required for their divisions

Process

• Appraisee does self appraisal and determines how he/she is performing against the targets set for the
quarter
• Appraisee and Appraiser have a discussion around the targets and the Appraiser gives Feedback to
the Appraisee on his/ her performance
• If required, Appraisee and Appraiser revise targets for the quarter to reflect market realities [This is to
done only if necessitated by business realities]

Quarterly Appraisals [Q1, Q2,Q3 & Q4]

Objective • To assess performance of the Appraisee on KRAs, against the targets outlined
for the quarter - The industry characteristics (fast changing) are such that it is
imperative to capture quarterly performances

Process • Your Appraiser will rate your performance on the KRAs articulated at the
beginning of the year on the basis of the Action Plan or Steps Taken by you for
its accomplishment and the extent of achievement against outlined targets for
the period.

Appraisal Q1 Appraisal 1st Week of July


Schedule
Q2 Appraisal 1st Week of October

Q3 Appraisal 1st Week of January

Q4Appraisal 1st Week of April

Computation of Your Final Score for the quarter will be arrived by adding up the individual
“Final Score” ratings on each KRA and dividing it by the no of goals or KRAs . This will give
you your score on KRAs.

Final Score = (Average of Scores on each KRA for the quarter

* Scoring will be done based on the 5 point rating scale mentioned in the next section.

Final Appraisal

Objective • To assess overall performance of the Appraisee on KRAs and Routine


Responsibilities and to assess development against the Development Plan
charted at the beginning of the year

Time • End of Q4 [First Week of April]

Process

• The Appraisee undertakes a self-appraisal and gives a rating on all the KRAs for the quarter [Q4] and
Routine Responsibilities
• The Appraiser then does the assessment & rating.
• He/ she also reviews the actions taken towards achievement of the Appraisees’s development plan.
• The Reviewer then reviews the ratings. At any stage the appraiser and/or reviewer can call for a
discussion with the Appraisee.
• The overall rating has to be a consensus between Appraisee, appraiser & the reviewer.
• In case of a dispute, the reviewer’s rating will be treated as final and will feed into the Overall
performance score of the Appraisee.
• After ratings are finalized by the Reviewer, they are consolidated by HR and then, checked for “Rater
Bias”
Hewitt© 2003, All Rights Reserved 53
Final Appraisal

Computation of Your Overall Score for the year will be arrived by taking a weighted sum of
“Overall Score” ratings on routine responsibilities and average of ratings on KRAs for the 4
quarters.
Overall Score = ((Average of Final Scores on KRAs for the 4 Quarters) * KRA
Section Weightage) + ((Average of scores on Routine Responsibilities) *
Routine Responsibility Section Weightage)

Overall Performance Rating Annually [End of Q4]

• Final Score for Q1


• Final Score for Q2 Relative

* Scoring will be done based on the 5 point rating scale as discussed earlier
** Relative Weightages for KRAs and Routine Responsibilities are detailed in the following slide

Relative weights for KRA’s and routine responsibilities

Objective • Top management to have greater relative weight on achievement of KRA’s


vis-à-vis routine responsibilities (as compared to Middle Management and
Junior Management)
• Support or service functions to have greater relative weight on
achievement of routine responsibilities than KRA’s (as compared to non-
support/ production functions

Middle Management 40% 60%
Junior Management 30% 70%
Note: Classification of grades/ bands into Top, Middle & Junior Management will need to be
decided

Removing rater bias

Objective • To improve the consistency and soundness of the evaluation process


• Removing rater (appraiser) bias through introduction of a reviewer
• Applicable to final scores (arrived at in each quarter) and the overall
performance score (computed at the end of the fourth quarter)

Calculate the average of all the “overall ratings” given by an appraiser to


1
Methodology each employee. Call this A

Calculate the average of all “average overall ratings” (or average of all
2
“A”s) given by all Appraisers. Call this figure B.

3 Now check for variance for each Appraiser - (A-B)/ B * 100 = x%

4 If x% falls in the range -10% to 10%, there is no rater bias.

If it does not fall in this range, there is a possibility that rater bias may be
5
occurring, and hence this forms an outlier

For such outliers, the appraiser has to give justification for the rating given
6 and if the reviewer feels that the justification is not sound enough, he/she
may direct the appraiser to revisit the rating

Assessing Development Plans

Assessing Development Plans


 During the year-end appraisal, the Appraiser will rate the Appraisee on the
Competencies, based on the 5 point rating scale mentioned below.
Rating Competencies*
 These ratings will be used only for “Developmental purposes” and will not
form a part of the “Overall Score” and will thus not be linked to incentives or
increments.

 The Appraiser will also assess the achievement of the Development Plan of
Other Skills the Appraisee on Other Skills during the year, on the action plans charted
by the Appraisee. This however, will not result in any scoring of any sort

 Based on the “current performance levels” of the incumbent, the Appraiser,


Career Aspirations* in consultation with the Appraisee, will capture “Career Aspirations” for the
Appraisee, if any will provide his/ her assessment of the readiness/ potential
of the Appraisee based on the scale mentioned in the next slide.

* Scoring will be done based on the 5 point rating scales detailed in the next slide
Hewitt© 2003, All Rights Reserved 57
Rating Scales for Competencies and Career Development
For Competencies
A: Role Model- Encourages and influences others to display the skill.
B: Strength- Almost always demonstrates behavior/skill where appropriate
C: Capable- Often demonstrates the behavior/skill
D: Development Area- Sometimes demonstrates the behavior/skill where appropriate
E: Learner- Has not yet demonstrated the behavior/skill.

For Assessing Potential


The following five point rating scale will be used:
High - This individual can advance well above (one or two levels above) current position
Moderate - This individual shows potential for taking on greater responsibility or moving to next
management/technical level over a period of 6-12 months
Limited - This individual can continue to contribute significantly in his/her current
position, but may have limited upward growth opportunities. A lateral move may be an appropriate
growth opportunity for this individual
• Key Resource - This individual is a key resource in his/her current position. This vital
knowledge precludes movement at this time, but development opportunities should continue to be
identified
Too New - This individual has been in his/her current position less than six months and is too
new to evaluate

What Is Feedback?

Information about performance that reflects:

What you do and how you do it

How it compares to what is expected

Based on observable, specific, job-related actions or


behaviors:

Both positive and corrective

Requires open, face-to-face communication

Critical to attain or maintain desired performance

Hewitt© 2003, All Rights Reserved 63


Elements of Effective Feedback

• Describe the Behavior

• Explain the Impact of what was done well/not done well

• Discuss how is should be done Tomorrow

Hewitt© 2003, All Rights Reserved 64


Reinforcing Positive Behavior: Example

• Behavior
— “You went out of your way to get Anita to focus on the
technical problem…”
• Impact
— “…that helped us remove the production obstacle and
deliver on time...”
• Tomorrow
— “…keep showing that type of initiative. Working in teams
means using individual strength areas…”

Hewitt© 2003, All Rights Reserved 65


Giving Feedback for Improvement: Example
• Behavior
— “I’ve noticed you do most of the talking in our team meetings”
• Impact
— “You have years of experience and helpful perspective to bring to
the table and I think everyone on the team recognizes that…but
with each successive meeting, the others seem more and more
reluctant to speak up...the whole point of us getting together is to
benefit from multiple perspectives”
• Tomorrow
— “Try to focus more on listening in our next few meetings and let’s
see if that encourages broader participation”

Hewitt© 2003, All Rights Reserved 66


Tips on Collecting “Feedback”

Collect feedback at least once


— Prior to mid-period review or year-end review
— At other appropriate times depending upon project milestones, key
events, etc.

Focus feedback on:


— Performance expectations (standard job activities)
— Display of key behaviors

Keep it simple—ask 2-3 questions
