    PREFACE

    The MBA programme is well structured and integrated course of business studies.

    The main objective of practical training at MBA level is to develop skill in student by

    supplement to the theoretical study of business management in general. Industrial training

    helps to gain real life knowledge about the industrial environment and business practices.

    The MBA programme provides student with a fundamental knowledge of business and

    organizational functions and activities as well as an exposure to strategic thinking of

    management.

    In every professional course, training is an important factor. Professors give us

    theoretical knowledge of various subjects in the college but we are practically exposed of

    such subjects when we get the training in the organization. It is only the training through

    which I come to know that what an industry is and how it works. I can learn about

    various departmental operations being performed in the industry, which would, in return,

    help me in the future when I will enter the practical field.

    Training is an integral part of MBA and each and every student has to undergo the

    training for 6 to 8 weeks in a company and then prepare a project report on the same after

    the completion of training.

    During this whole training I got lot of experience and came to know about the

    management practices in real that how it differs from those of theoretical knowledge andthe practically in the real life.

    In todays globalize world, where cutthroat competition is prevailing in the market,

    theoretical knowledge is not sufficient. Beside this one need to have practical

    knowledge, which would help an individual in his/her carrier activities and it is true that

    Experience is the best teacher.

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    In the business world of today the focus of HR has shifted to the business of theorganization rather than focusing on the organization of business. The intention of the

    new HR thinking is to achieve an alignment among structure, strategy & culture of the

    organization. Hence HR, nowadays is treated as a component of the enterprise value

    proposition, in both vision and mission achievement.

    A good Performance Management System empowers every employee in the

    organization, to align their performance with the set corporate goals and lets them

    identify their avenues of opportunity & also helps them in plugging the gaps in their

    performance. 360 Degree Appraisal is a rather new technique of performance appraisal

    wherein the performance of an employee is adjudicated not just by his/her immediate

    manager but also by other concerned parties with whom the particular employee comes in

    contact with. That could be his internal customers like his subordinates, peers or external

    customers like the customers of the organization, suppliers or other interested

    stakeholders.

    Nowadays, the trend of performance appraisal is towards greater transparency,

    accountability and increased participation, while evaluating an individual's effectiveness

    in an organization. 360 degree appraisal answers this issue effectively.

    360 degree feedback is arguably the best procedure through which a person can

    obtain information about how others perceive his/her performance & effectiveness. 360

    degree feedback can therefore be a powerful tool in informing an employee about

    personal development, planning and individual training needs analysis. However, these

    benefits can only be gained if 360 feedbacks is properly introduced, managed &

    implemented in a positive manner.

    This project discusses the effectiveness of the 360 degree appraisal procedure

    and the essential features that must be included to make this method of appraisal truly

    successful. For this project, a sample of 13 employees was selected from the HR

    department of the company. For each employee, the appraisers were asked to rate the

    appraise on the basis of leadership skills, communication, team work, decision making

    skills, risk taking, strategic orientation, managing change, delegation, conflicts and stress

    management. Based on this rating, further analysis has been done. Recommendation has

    been provided to enhance the overall performance of these 13 employees.

    Findings:

    The high and the low performers on the basis of all the attributes wereIdentified

    The study shows certain attributes like leadership skills, communication, teamwork decision making skills, risk taking, strategic orientation, managing change,delegation skills, conflicts and stress management and where training is specially

    required.

    INTRODUCTION

    1.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY

    Performance appraisal is a management tool which is helpful in motivating and

    effectively utilizing human resources. Assessment of human potential is difficult, no

    matter how well designed and appropriates the performance planning and appraisal

    system is. Performance appraisal has different objectives for management and for the

    employees. Therefore an employee would desire that the appraisal system should aim at:

    Their personal development,

    Their work satisfaction and

    Their involvement in the organization.

    From the organizations point of view it serves the following purposes:

    Providing information about human resources and their development.

    Measuring the efficiency with which human resources are being used andimproved.

    Providing compensation packages to employees and

    Maintaining organizational control.

    360 degree feedback is probably the most direct and useful information a

    person can obtain about how others perceive their effectiveness. 360 degree feedback can

  • 8/3/2019 360 Degree Appraisel

    8/57

    therefore be a powerful mechanism to inform personal development planning and

    individual training needs analysis. However, these benefits can only be gained if 360

    feedbacks is properly introduced and managed.

    1.2. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

    The project has been undertaken to better understand the subject Performance Appraisal.

    In particular the following have been the main objectives for undertaking this project:

    To understand what is 360 degree appraisal.

    360 degree appraisal system Vs Traditional performance appraisal methods.

    Uses of 360-degree feedback.

    Advantages of 360 degree appraisal.

    1.2(1).CONCEPT OF 360 DEGREE FEEDBACKS

    360 degree feedback is known as 'multi-rater feedback', is the most

    comprehensive appraisal where the feedback about the employees' performance comes

    from all the sources that come in contact with the employee on his job.

    360 degree respondents for an employee can be his/her peers, managers (i.e.

    superior), subordinates, team members, customers, suppliers/ vendors - anyone who

    comes into contact with the employee and can provide valuable insights and information

    or feedback regarding the "on-the-job" performance of the employee.

    360 degree appraisal has four integral components:

    1. Self appraisal

    2. Superior's appraisal

    3. Subordinate's appraisal

    4. Peer appraisal.

    Self appraisal gives a chance to the employee to look at his/her strengths and

    weaknesses, his achievements, and judge his own performance. Superior's appraisal

    forms the traditional part of the 360 degree appraisal where the employees'

    responsibilities and actual performance is rated by the superior.

    Subordinates appraisal gives a chance to judge the employee on the parameters

    like communication and motivating abilities, superior's ability to delegate the work,

    leadership qualities etc. Also known as internal customers, the correct feedback given by

    peers can help to find employees' abilities to work in a team, co-operation and sensitivity

    towards others.

  • 8/3/2019 360 Degree Appraisel

    10/57

    10

    Self assessment is an indispensable part of 360 degree appraisals and therefore

    360 degree Performance appraisal have high employee involvement and also have the

    strongest impact on behavior and performance. It provides a "360-degree review" of the

    employees' performance and is considered to be one of the most credible performance

    appraisal methods.

    360 degree appraisal is also a powerful developmental tool because when

    conducted at regular intervals (say yearly) it helps to keep a track of the changes others'

    perceptions about the employees. A 360 degree appraisal is generally found more suitable

    for the managers as it helps to assess their leadership and managing styles. This technique

    is being effectively used across the globe for performance appraisals. Some of the

    organizations following it are Wipro, Infosys, and Reliance Industries etc.

    PEER-TO-PEER EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

    Peer-to-peer employee performance evaluations require employees at the samelevel to review each other. The thinking behind peer-to-peer employee performance

    evaluations is that nobody knows a workers ability better than his or her co-workers.

    While this can be an effective review format for some groups of workers (for example, a

    team of doctors working on a research project together, where specific content

    knowledge is required), it can also cause controversy because of the way it affects future

    group dynamics. When evaluating the use of these types of employee performance

    evaluations, consider the maturity level of the employees involved and the long-term

    effects that could result from the source of negative reviews getting back to the team

    members

    SELF-ASSESSMENTPERFORMANCEREVIEWS

    Self-Assessment performance reviews are effective when combined with any of

    the other three types of performance reviews. With this type of review, employees areasked to rate themselves, often using the same form that a manager will use to review

    them. Self-assessment performance reviews help make the employees an active part of

    the process and provide a vehicle for them to reflect on their own performance prior to

    the formal review.

    Studies have shown that employees are usually harder on themselves in self-

    assessment performance reviews, than their managers and generally give themselves

    lower ratings. Having employees do self assessment performance reviews prior to a

    managers review can set a positive tone for the meeting, as the manager will often have

    better things to say than the employee has said about him or herself.

    DOWN TO TOP EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

    Down-Top employee performance evaluations tend to be one of the most

    common and most effective method, because they involve the assessment of an employee

    by its subordinate. Down to top employee performance evaluations are most useful when

    given by an employees immediate subordinate someone who works with that

    employee everyday and knows his or her strengths and weaknesses. The Down-Top

    employee performance evaluation becomes less effective when given by a Human

    Resources manager who has only second-hand knowledge of an employees

    performance.

    TopDOWN EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

    Top-down employee performance evaluations tend to be the most common and

    most effective, because they involve the assessment of an employee by a direct manager.

    Top-down employee performance evaluations are most useful when given by an

    employees immediate supervisor someone who works with that employee everyday

    and knows his or her strengths and weaknesses. The top-down employee performance

    evaluation becomes less effective when given by a Human Resources manager who has

    only second-hand knowledge of an employees performance.

    One offshoot of top-down employee performance evaluations are matrix

    employee performance evaluations, where multiple managers rate the same employee.

    This is a good choice when the employee works for multiple managers, or engages in

    various fixed-time length projects

    1.2(2) 360 DEGREE APPRAISAL SYSTEM

    VS

    TRADITIONAL APPRAISAL METHOD

    "360" refers to the 360 degrees in a circle, with an individual figuratively in the

    centre of the circle. Feedback is provided by subordinates, peers, and supervisors. It also

    includes a self-assessment and in some cases, feedback from external sources such as

    customers and suppliers or other interested stakeholders. It may be contrasted with

    "upward feedback," where managers are given feedback by their direct reports whereas in

    a "Traditional performance appraisal," employees are most often reviewed only by

    their managers.

    "360 degree feedback" requires a culture of trust and cooperation in order to make it

    work effectively. In fact it is this very trust & culture that's making 360 degree feedback a

    resounding success in the corporate world. Whereas in a "Traditional performance

    Appraisal", the results are thought to be more dependable because the feedback is only

    provided by their managers who are primarily responsible to provide feedback and

    information to employees about their performance, though it runs a huge risk of being

    manipulative, too autocratic & biased in nature. A manager may use the feedback process

    to satisfy his personal grudge against his subordinate, which is highly unlikely in a 360

    degree feedback process because of the number of people giving feedback.

    "360 degree feedback" process though runs the risk of being wrong because there

    are too many untrained people giving feedback & these feedbacks are supposed to be

    taken into account for further action but if a proper process is followed & the people

    giving a feedback are properly trained there is no reason why the results can't be used to

    improve productivity whereas in a "Traditional performance appraisal" the managers

    are only responsible in giving feedback who although are trained to give proper feedback,

    but their intent is always under the scanner.

  • 8/3/2019 360 Degree Appraisel

    14/57

    14

    In a "360 degree feedback" process there are some legal complexities, in the event

    an employee alleges that his or her employment was terminated due to the results of the

    feedback. The company cannot possibly defend against those actions, even if they know

    where the feedback in question originated. This is because the company also has an

    obligation to protect promises of anonymity from feedback providers whereas a

    "Traditional performance appraisal" process doesn't run that risk, because the

    feedback is provided by the manager & there is no promise to protect anonymity.

    1.2(3) USES OF 360 DEGREE FEEDBACKS

    360 degree feedback is used for a number of purposes. Followings are some of the

    purposes of the 360 Degree feedback system:

    It can be used solely to support learning and development.

    It can be used to support a number of HR processes such as appraisal, resourcingand succession planning.

    It can be used to support pay decision.

    It can cover assessment of performance as well as potential for development.

    It can look after the needs of both the individual and the organization.

    16

    1.2(5) ADVANTAGES OF 360 DEGREE FEEDBACKS

    Individuals get a broader perspective of how they are perceived by others thanpreviously possible.

    Increased awareness of and relevance of competencies. Increased awareness by senior management that they too have development

    needs.

    More reliable feedback to senior managers about their performance. Encouraging more open feedback - new insights. Identifying key development areas for the individual, a department and the

    organization as a whole.

    Opens up feedback and gives people a more rounded view of performance thanthey had previously.

    Employees get to know the perception about them from others point of view; thishelps them know more about themselves.

    It is supporting a climate of continuous improvement.

    1.2(6) DISADVANTAGES OF 360 DEGREE FEEDBACKS

    People sometime hesitate to give honest feedback. Sometime people put themselves under stress in receiving or giving feedback. Lack of action following the feedback can make the process useless. Too much bureaucracy hampers the process of the feedback system.

    These can be minimized if not avoided completely by careful design,

    communication, training and follow-up.

    1.2(7) PRACTICAL ISSUES FACED WHILE CARRYING OUT

    THE SURVEY

    The activity of carrying out a brief 360 degree feedback exerciser proved to be a great

    learning experience in understanding the practical difficulties that may be faced while

    carrying out 360 degree feedback. Though the study was done only on 13 employees, but

    in future if it is implemented then the organization and its people first will have to

    understand themselves the true benefit of a 360 degree appraisal system.

    The following are the main lessons learned:

    UNAWARENESS OF PEOPLE: Need for educating the staff before carryingout 360 degree appraisal. It may sound surprising but still there are a number of

    people who do not know anything about 360 degree feedback. The first and

    foremost lesson that has been learned that it is of utmost importance that before

    carrying out any kind of new activity in an organization, the staff first must be

    made aware about it.

    INHIBITIONS ABOUT GIVING FEEDBACK: Making people understand theimportance of an honest feedback. It was found that people have a lot of

    inhibitions about giving any kind of feedback. Hence for carrying out 360 degree

    appraisal, the employees must first be educated about the importance of giving an

    honest feedback. They must also be trained about how and what to observe and

    evaluate in an employee.

    APPROPRIATE APPRAISAL FORMS: The appraisal form that is to bedesigned for the purpose of gathering data must be designed with utmost care.

    The form should neither be too long nor too short. It must contain relevant

    questions.

    1.METHODOLOGY

    Following are the steps I followed while conducting the 360 Degree Feedback:

    Select Universe: As Iwas doing my project in the Personnel departmentof Coal India Limited, so 1 choose the Personnel department as my field

    of survey.

    Sample Selection: My sample was selected by the Deputy CPM(Vijay Swaroop). He chooses 13 members for the study of 360 Degree

    Feedback.

    Data Collection: Primary data was collected by means of Questionnaire.This data was collected from the employees of the company.

    Questionnaires were formed on the different attributes of managerial skills

    while secondary data were collected from different management books

    and journals.

    Construction of the 360 Degree Feedback form: This was the mostchallenging role. Questionnaires were made on different attributes like

    Leadership Skills, Communication, Team Work, Decision making,

    Delegation, Stress Management and conflict, etc. The rating of the

    questionnaires was selected as 1 to 5, which is considered to be the

    standard one for a 360 degree feedback.

    Make the employees aware: This is really a very hard task to do. I haveto seat with each of my sample and some other employees to make them

    understand what 360 Degree Feedback is, why it is used and what is the

    importance of giving a true and unbiased feedback. The employees were

    also informed about why this activity was being carried out.

    Distributing the Form: While giving the appraisal forms to theemployees, all the doubts regarding the questionnaire were clarified, and

    the data was gathered.

    Data Analysis: Filled in forms were collected and the task of analysisstart after that. To analyze the data statistical tool was used. The main

    motive behind this was to find out the areas where the employees had

    excelled as per the rater's perspective and the areas where they required

    training and development for further improvement. This would further

    help in deciding upon the needs and developing the career paths for them.

    It also threw light upon the skills where maximum employees lagged

    behind and skills where most of the employees had met with the desired

    levels. The data analysis also helped in making a comparative study

    among the selected employees on the basis of the different attributes.

    Feedback: The most important objective of 360 degree feedback is that itshould provide useful insights to the person with respect to his overall

    organizational effectiveness. The positive changes/ improvements seen

    after receiving 360 degree feedback, especially on leadership

    competencies, could certainly be used as an additional input in taking

    promotional decisions. Feedback was provided to each appraise by his

    superior, peer, subordinate and also by the person himself. The appraise

    ANALYSIS OF THE DATA

    The following graph shows a comparative study of the employees on different

    attributes which is represent by self score and other employee's score (including boss,

    subordinates and peers). To get a better understanding of the attributes, we will do a

    SWOT analysis. SWOT represents one's strength, weakness, opportunity and threat. So

    my purpose of doing SWOT is to understand each individual performance traits. After

    analyzing the data I have categorized each individual into four broad category - an

    individual highest score is his strength and lowest as the threat. The 2nd

    highest is the

    opportunity area and 2nd lowest being his weakness.

    This analysis will help the organization and the individual to improve on their

    key attributes & to step up the ladder by converting their threat to weakness, a weakness

    to an opportunity area, an opportunity into strength and maintain their strength.

    On the basis of the data the SWOT analysis of each of the employees is stated below:-

    1. B. Swaroop:

    Strength: Managing change (4.3) Weakness: Decision Making and Risk (3.4) Opportunity: Leadership Skills (3.9) Threat: Conflict and Stress Management (2.6)

    2. B. N. Das:

    Strength: Conflict & Stress Management (4.6) Weakness: Decision Making & Risk taking (2.2) Opportunity: Leadership Skills (3.8) Threat: Team Work (1.9)

    Here we study detail on all the attributes on the basis of the score given by theemployees (except self score). From the above bar graph we can see the details of all

    scorers in the different attributes. The table given below shows the highest and lowest

    scorers;-

    Attributes Highest Score Lowest Score

    T. Majumder got the highest score in most of the attributes and S. Basu followed by

    B. N. Das got the lowest score in most of the attributes. So individual Training and

    Development Programmes are specially required in those areas where there are the low

    scores. Areas like Team Work, Conflict & Stress Management and Trust should be taken

    care of on individual basis.

    It would not only help the employee but may also remove the inhibitions orgrudges that his subordinates may have towards the employee

    Subordinates: The subordinates should try to take up their small issues to theemployee and give them a chance to learn rather than abandoning the employee

    outright because of a preconceived notion that he is not an efficient team worker.

    As far as the personal attributes are concerned they can be given in-house trainingon skills like communication, leadership and delegation skills.
