Introduction
"Performance appraisal is the systematic, periodic and an impartial rating of an employee‟s
excellence in the matters pertaining to his present job and his potential for a better job."
The focus of the performance appraisal is providing feedback to the employee with the aim to
eliminate performance deficiencies as well as measuring and improving the actual
performance of the employee and also the future potential of the employee. A logical explanation
would be that it further leads to the performance related pay awards.

Traditional Methods
1. Essay evaluation method
5. Field interview
In this method, a senior member of the HR department or a training officer discusses and
interviews the supervisors to evaluate and rate their respective subordinates. A major drawback
of this method is that it is a very time consuming method. But this method helps to reduce the
superiors‟ personal bias.
This method describe a performance appraisal method where rater familiar with the jobs being
evaluated prepared a large list of descriptive statements about effective and ineffective behavior
on jobs
The Rating Scale is a form on which the manager simply checks off the employee‟s level of
performance. This is the oldest and most widely method used for performance appraisal.

8. Forced ranking (forced distribution)
Forced ranking is a method of performance appraisal to rank employee but in order of forced
distribution.
For example, the distribution requested with 10 or 20 percent in the top category, 70 or 80
percent in the middle, and 10 percent in the bottom.
Modern Methods
1. Management By Objectives (MBO) method
MBO is a process in which managers / employees set objectives for the employee, periodically
evaluate the performance, and reward according to the result.
MBO focuses attention on what must be accomplished (goals) rather than how it is to be
accomplished (methods)
3. Assessment centers
An assessment centre typically involves the use of methods like social/informal events, tests and
exercises, assignments being given to a group of employees to assess their competencies to take
higher responsibilities in the future. Generally, employees are given an assignment similar to the
job they would be expected to perform if promoted. The trained evaluators observe and evaluate
employees as they perform the assigned jobs and are evaluated on job related characteristics.
The major competencies that are judged in assessment centers are interpersonal skills,
intellectual capability, planning and organizing capabilities, motivation; career orientation etc.
assessment centers are also an effective way to determine the training and development needs
of the targeted employees.
This method used to describe a performance rating that focused on specific behaviors or sets as
indicators of effective or ineffective performance. It is a combination of the rating scale and
critical incident techniques of employee performance evaluation.

5. Human Resource Accounting Method
Human resources are valuable assets for every organization. Human resource accounting method
tries to find the relative worth of these assets in the terms of money. In this method the
Performance appraisal of the employees is judged in terms of cost and contribution of the
employees. The cost of employees include all the expenses incurred on them like their
compensation, recruitment and selection costs, induction and training costs etc whereas their
contribution includes the total value added (in monetary terms). The difference between the cost
and the contribution will be the performance of the employees. Ideally, the contribution of the
employees should be greater than the cost incurred on them.

When I look at where we have come, what gives me tremendous satisfaction is not so much the
success, but the fact that we achieved this success without compromising on the value we
defined for ourselves? Values combined with a powerful vision can turbo-charge a company to
scale new heights and make it succeed beyond one’s wildest expectations.”

The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you can measure how many “defects” you
have in a process, you can systematically figure out how to eliminate them and get as
close to “zero defects” as possible.
Six Sigma starts with the application of statistical methods for translating information
from customers into specifications for products or services being developed or produced.
Six Sigma is the business strategy and a philosophy of one working smarter not harder.
Wipro is the first Indian company to adopt Six Sigma. Today, Wipro has one of the most
mature Six Sigma programs in the industry ensuring that 91% of the projects are completed on
schedule, much above the industry average of 55%. As the pioneers of Six Sigma in India, Wipro

year, Manager (HR) prepares the list of eligible employees. Simultaneously, V P (HR) also asks
for recommendations from HODs. A comprehensive list is then prepared by Manager (HR) and
submitted to the EPPP which is announced by the Site President, for Executive and Manager
Family, and by the Group President (MSD), for Leader Family.

The length of service and talent are both interrelated with each other. It is based on the tradition
of respect for older people. It creates a sense of security among employees and avoids conflict
arising from promotion decision.
