12. Need for Changing to a new system To objectively provide for performance planning, target setting and measurement. To promote performance feedback to all executives, with the objective of improving their performance. Have Individual Target Alignment with organizational MOU. Make PMS as a business tool for appraisers to manage performance of their team. Link the reward system to Performance as suggested in the Pay Commission Report. Bring about efficiency in administration of the Performance Management System (e-PMS).

13. The pay revision circular has directed that all the CPSEs should develop a robust and transparent Performance Management System. CPSEs would adopt “Bell Curve Approach” in grading the officers so that not more than 10% to 15% executives are Outstanding/Excellent. Similarly, 10% of executives should be graded as “Below Par”. The Sixth pay Commission report also suggested adoption of Balance Scored Card to determine the eligibility of PRP for each Executive.

14. PMS in other PSUs  To have a better understanding of industry practice in PMS, we visited NTPC, NHPC, IOCL and BHEL to see and understand their system and also held detailed discussion regarding designing, implementing and running a forward looking PMS.  It was concluded from all the above meetings that all these organizations today have KRA system. IOCL and BHEL have e-enabled their Performance Management System. KRA’s have to be set after mutual discussion between Appraiser and apraisee.  All the oragnisations have conducted extensive work shop and training for making KRA directory and making the new PMS acceptable in the organizations.
