Most of these articles elaborate the challenges on the annual cycles, bell curve, etc.&nbsp; We wanted to understand the solution these companies (companies from the articles mentioned above) have put together to abolish performance appraisals and still focus on rewarding performance and do \u201cobjective based\u201d salary revision.<\/p>\n<p>We have done an analysis, interacted with HR leaders like Mr Mali Mahalingam and come up with the following understanding:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Companies are moving away from annual performance appraisal sessions.<\/li>\n<li>They prefer to have periodic reviews (which is a good step) or sessions between managers and their team members to discuss about the performance, what is going well and what is to be improved. &nbsp;They focus on real-time, ongoing, constructive feedback sessions.<\/li>\n<li>Managers are allowed to rate (if the rating system exists) and use guidelines to come up with the rating in each session. They don\u2019t go with any forced ranking and allow the bell curve flow freely. &nbsp;It will still be subjective, but, it is perfectly fine. &nbsp;If it results in skewed curve, it is perfectly fine.<\/li>\n<li>Salary revisions -&gt; performance is one of the inputs while doing salary revisions. And, salary revisions are NOT ONLY based on performance. There are other factors which decide salary revisions. &nbsp;So, there exists two bell curves &#8211; one for performance, one for salary revisions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Now, let us delve into details.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Periodic Reviews (also called as Check-ins, feedback sessions, etc.)<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Organizations are moving towards periodic reviews between managers and their team members. &nbsp;They&nbsp;are mandating minimally one session every month between manager and their team member.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.synergita.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/communication_1_modified_PAINT.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2793\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.synergita.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/communication_1_modified_PAINT.jpg\" alt=\"communication_1_modified_PAINT\" width=\"574\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newtest.synergita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/communication_1_modified_PAINT.jpg 574w, https:\/\/newtest.synergita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/communication_1_modified_PAINT-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 574px) 100vw, 574px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Monthly reviews<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Quarterly reviews<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Anytime reviews (eg. End of assignment reviews, change of manager reviews)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Continuous Feedback<\/p>\n<p>These frequent conversations and reviews help in higher collaboration and trust between managers and their team members.&nbsp; Managers would be able to look into the performance&nbsp;and assist their&nbsp;team member wherever required. &nbsp;Fine tune the goals and their approach. &nbsp;They take their eyes \u201coff\u201d from rating.&nbsp; Managers become coaches.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Annual reviews<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Culminate short-term reviews into an annual review session. Manager does a formal one-on-one session to discuss 4 quarterly reviews and arrive at a final annual rating. When this happens, it will automatically lead to some form of curve. Companies may not like to use \u201crating\u201d as terminology. But, will rely on some mechanism to group people into few buckets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.synergita.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/performance-review4_modified.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-2794\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.synergita.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/performance-review4_modified.jpg\" alt=\"performance review4_modified\" width=\"510\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newtest.synergita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/performance-review4_modified.jpg 560w, https:\/\/newtest.synergita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/performance-review4_modified-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newtest.synergita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/performance-review4_modified-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Key difference from the traditional model is that the&nbsp;organizations let the curve flow naturally.&nbsp; Certain managers may rate everyone in his or her team as \u201cExcellent\u201d.&nbsp; In this case, the curve for this manager will be a straight line.&nbsp; As long as it is natural and manager really \u201crates\u201d all his\/her team members as \u201cexcellent\u201d, let it go as a straight line.&nbsp; And, don\u2019t force fit to be a bell curve.<\/p>\n<p>When managers do frequent conversations with their team members, annual cycle would become a non-issue- no&nbsp;surprise element on the rating for the team members. &nbsp;Stress-free appraisals.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Salary Revisions<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Salary revisions are important and there should be a mechanism for the revisions.&nbsp; Mechanism should be transparent and objective.&nbsp; Following components typically influence the salary revision %:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Performance<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Progression into the band\u2019s salary bracket<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Performance of the organization<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Performance of the business unit \/ project team<\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.synergita.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/review_modified_paint.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-2795\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.synergita.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/review_modified_paint.jpg\" alt=\"review_modified_paint\" width=\"535\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newtest.synergita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/review_modified_paint.jpg 894w, https:\/\/newtest.synergita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/review_modified_paint-300x275.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newtest.synergita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/review_modified_paint-768x704.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><\/a><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Performance:&nbsp;<\/strong>Naturally \u2013 anybody would expect that performance should be rewarded and should reflect in higher pay rise, higher responsibilities, etc. While higher level of performance would result in higher level responsibilities and wider acceptance within the organization, it may not necessarily reflect into higher salary revisions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Progression into the band\u2019s salary bracket: &nbsp;<\/strong>This does play a key role in % revisions.
