Why the Annual Appraisal Model is Broken
Traditional once-a-year appraisals suffer from recency bias, where employees are rated primarily on work done in the preceding 6 weeks rather than their total annual contribution. Fast-moving companies need continuous alignment and clear performance expectations.
OKRs vs. KPIs: Getting the Balance Right
- KPIs (Key Performance Indicators): Measure baseline health and ongoing operations (e.g., maintain 99.9% uptime, achieve ₹50L monthly recurring revenue).
- OKRs (Objectives & Key Results): Ambitious, quarterly stretch goals that push the team toward breakthrough innovations.
Implementing 360-Degree Feedback
TrueHRIS PMS allows organizations to configure self-evaluations, peer reviews, and manager ratings into one seamless appraisal workflow, eliminating bias and fostering professional growth.
