Individual Performance Measures (IPMs) Individual Performance Measures (IPMs) are the goals or objectives that the employee needs to achieve for a particular year. IPM’s are set the beginning of the financial year in Goal Setting Activity. Goal setting is the process of deciding what an employee has to accomplish at the end of the year it also helps in devising a plan to achieve the result desired by the organisation. At IIFL , any job can be segregated in any predefined 4 different parameters naming Customer, Process, Finance & Employee to aim at overall growth of an employee along with organisational development. On these parameters the performance of an employee is measured. (Minimum 4 & Max 8 IPMs can be mentioned) The Goals should be SMART. Setting of realistic goals through SMART techniques should be followed. SMART specifies Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant & Time-bound. At IIFL we emphasize in setting SMART Goals which results in motivating employees & building their self confidence. The weightage against each IPM is entered by the Employee in the system. It is the reflection of amount or importance of a particular IPM on the person’s performance. The sum of weightage of all IPMs in all parameters put together must be 100% Reward System - Rating Rating Scale: Ratings are the scores given to employee against each IPM on the basis of performance of the employee relative to other employees performing similar jobs at IIFL by IRA / Reviewer / HOD. Performance Ratings determines an employees overall performance during the time period. The Various Ratings at IIFL are : • Flyer (4): It indicates that exceptional performance is demonstrated , high accomplishments of task are made in areas besides current job role without much supervision. Is recognized as an expert in his or her job area. • Runner (3): Employee performs assigned responsibilities in a manner that consistently exceeds expectation, as demonstrated throughout the review period. Takes initiative to seek information or clarification of policies, procedures or objectives.

Has ethical work habits, follows established work schedule, completes projects and tasks and produces acceptable output of work • Learner (1): Employee performs assigned responsibilities in an unsatisfactory manner, has not responded to constructive feedback, or has not improved performance. "Performance" includes not only how well the employee carries out the specific tasks or responsibilities of the job, but also includes work habits or behaviors that impact customers, co-workers or the general work environment Giving Feedback In An Appraisal One of the most challenging part of the performance appraisal meeting is giving feedback to employees on their performance. Feedback will provide motivation to employee and leading in improved performance. Feedback can reinforce existing strengths, keep goal-directed behaviour on course, clarify the effects of behaviour, and increase the recipient’s ability to detect and remedy errors independently. Both appraisers and appraisees can use the tips below to learn to receive and give feedback more effectively Feedback is effective when the IRA ensures that it: Receiving Feedback Effectively by employee: • is descriptive rather than evaluative; • is focused on the employee’s behaviour rather than the employee as a person; • is specific and based on information rather than general and based on impressions; • provides information from their own experience; • reinforces positive new behaviour and what the subordinate has done well; • suggests rather than prescribes avenues for improvement; • is continual rather than sporadic; • is intended to help; • is checked with other sources for verification; • is well timed; and, • contributes to the rapport between the IRA and the employee and enhances their relationship. • Listen effectively to the feedback given. • Be aware of your non-verbal responses. • Be open & receptive to new ideas and different opinions. • Understand the feedback before responding to the it. • Ask questions for clarification. • Follow up on Feedback given, post implementing it IPM-PARS Process Flow PHASE -
