Story of KRA and KPI - 04

In the realm of corporate offices in our country, the traditional performance evaluation process is typically conducted on an annual basis. However, the case of Mr. Karim sheds light on the potential pitfalls of this approach.

Mr. Karim, a diligent employee within a corporate setting, enjoyed a commendable reputation for most of the year. From January through November, his performance garnered praise from his colleagues and superiors alike, fostering a positive and productive work environment. Unfortunately, a disagreement with his boss in December tarnished his otherwise stellar record, leading to a drastic downturn in his year-end evaluation.

The repercussions were severe: Mr. Karim's prospects for career advancement, including increments and promotions, were dashed. Despite his earlier contributions, he received little recognition for his efforts, plunging him into a state of disillusionment and diminishing his enthusiasm for work. Moreover, the shockwaves of Mr. Karim's incident reverberated throughout the office, dampening the productivity of his colleagues.

Yet, Mr. Karim's story serves as a catalyst for change. By envisioning an alternate scenario where performance evaluations are conducted quarterly instead of annually, we can mitigate such adverse outcomes. Under this revised framework, Mr. Karim's exemplary performance in the first three quarters would have buoyed his overall assessment, even if the fourth quarter yielded less favorable results. Consequently, he would have remained eligible for increments or promotions, and the office's working environment would have remained undisturbed.

Drawing inspiration from Mr. Karim's experience, we have implemented Quarterly Assessments within our Automated KPI based Performance Management System Software Solution. This innovative approach ensures that employees' performances are evaluated every quarter, with the final assessment derived from an average of all quarterly results. We anticipate that this solution will not only foster a culture of continuous improvement but also mitigate the risk of abrupt downturns in employee morale and productivity, benefiting individuals like Mr. Karim and organizations at large.

Stay tuned as we delve deeper into the transformative potential of KRA and KPI implementation in our evolving narrative.
