NSGB Policy

Page 3: APA Guide

1. NSGB Policy Each NSGB employee will be subject to Annual Performance Appraisal (APA). Such reviews examine job performance, productivity and general conduct in order to produce an objective and accurate assessment of the employee's performance. Each employee is rated on factors from 5 to 1 (5: Exceptional to 1: Unacceptable) by his Department Head / Branch Manager. Based on the overall rating the annual increment and bonus are determined. The Appraisal Interviews, which will be conducted in the last quarter of each year, will provide an opportunity for the Branch Management to review their employee's performance, establish areas for improvement and set targets for the following year. APA Interview Purpose The Annual Performance Appraisal Interview is an assessment of the employees performance and is conducted over the preceding twelve months. The APA Form is used as a basis for determining each employee's annual salary increase and bonus, and is also referred to for an indication of the employee's potential. The Objectives of Annual Performance Appraisal are: 1. To provide tools to determine fair bonus and increments in terms of salary increases

within the NSGB Grade/Salary structure. 2. To discover those employees who are suitable for promotion and development. 3. To encourage all supervisors to take interest in the people they control, to point out

shortcomings which can be corrected and to acknowledge good performance. 4. To establish a standard of increment/bonus throughout the NSGB Network. Other Benefits of the APA interview process: 1. Provide feedback to employees and obtain their views. 2. Provide greater recognition to good performers, help poor performers to improve. 3. Improve the relationship between supervisors and subordinates by providing a channel of communication. 4. Identification of training needs. 5. Reinforce the importance of teamwork. 6. Each employee (together with his supervisor) sets goals/targets for the coming year.

Overall Rating : '4' - Above Target Employees falling in this category would be approximately 15 % of total staff strength. Overall Rating : '3' - On Target Employees falling in this category would usually account for approximately 80% of the total staff strength.

1. Step by Step Procedure 2. Factor Definition Booklet 3. APA Form

Page 7: APA Guide

1. Step by Step Procedure

Page 8: APA Guide

Step by Step Procedure (Refer to attached APA Form for Executive Grades)

1. Schedule October : A) You will receive a blank Annual Performance Appraisal (APA) form for each of your

staff. These forms will be labeled containing a brief summary of the staff's current status, Employment date, age etc.

B) Interviews with individual staff November: Return APA forms with Branch Managers recommendation and approval to H.O. Administration. 2. Arranging the Interview Allow half an hour for each interview. The Branch Administration or the Branch Manager's

Secretary will make the appointment and accordingly inform the staff through the "APA Interview Notification" with a copy to concerned Department Head.

3. The interview PROCESS Duration: Average duration would be half an hour, but interview should be kept brief for

majority of staff with "On Target" Performance. Spend more time on good/poor performers, with emphasis on their future development or improvement needs. Ensure that you are NOT interrupted during the interview.

3.1 The Appraiser

The appraisal for staff could be conducted by the Branch Manager, in the presence of the Department Head, when necessary.

3.2 Preparation

Make sure you have a clear picture of the duties and responsibilities assigned to the staff. Also keep the Staff's Personal File handy, for reference during the interview.

3.3 Beginning Give the Appraisee a warm welcome, making him/her feel at ease. Explain that the purpose of the Annual Performance appraisal is to review the performance

and assigning a rating on each factor, identifying strengths and weaknesses. 3.4 The Interview Rating Process:

When you rate the Appraisee, try to keep in mind a mental picture of what you consider to be "fully acceptable" for that job. Your marks should be a measure of the degree by which the person is higher, average or lower than the average for the job.

- Rate each person on the basis of his present job. - Give recognition for good performance, where it is due - Tactfully point out areas for improvement.

Page 9: APA Guide

3.5 Some Do's and Don'ts

Do Don't Listen! Listen attentively and politely. Do all the talking yourself. Be calm and patient. Argue. Discuss the Appraisee's work in relation to job duties.

Compare with someone else.

Keep the discussion "on track" and firmly guide it.

Lose control of discussion.

Discuss best methods of avoiding future mistakes.

Dwell on weaknesses.

Permit the Appraisal to "Save face"; emphasize strong points.

Emphasize past failures.

Show that you are prepared to make recommendations, without firm commitment.

Promise anything over your authority e.g. annual increment.

Be fair and honest in the assessment. Overmark or praise without justification.

Show what should be done to improve and establish job targets.

Let an Appraisee leave with doubts as to what should be done to improve.

3.6 Closing

• Give the Appraisee a chance to express his/her own views on any matters relating to his/her work or future development. • Inform the Appraisee of any improvement expected of him/her and assure him/her of your confidence in his/her ability and willingness to do better. • Summarize and agree on some plans for improvement

• Do not promise what you cannot deliver

• Finally thank him/her for his/her time.

4. The APA FORM: The APA form is divided into six sections, as follows:

4.1 Section I : LABEL This contains a brief summary of the staff's current status, grade, date of joining, age, etc… 4.2 Section II : FACTORS

The APA form is based on factors that you have to evaluate and give a rating from 5 to 1 to the employee. A detailed explanation of each factor follows. Use the "Comments" section following each statement to explain why the assigned rating is given and be as specific as possible. Comments must be included for all sections where the assigned rating is other than 'On Target' (3). Salary increases will not be processed unless all portions of the form are completed.

Page 10: APA Guide

4.3 RATING SCALE Scale Description Explanation

5 Exceptional When a staff member has consistenly exceeded expectations throughout the year and is has demonstrated abilities beyond requirements.

4 Above Target When a staff member has frequently exceeded expectations throughout the year and has fully demonstrated abilities to requirements.

3 On Target When a staff member fully met expectations throughout the year and has achieved an acceptable level of requirements.

2 Need Improvement When a staff member needs to improve their ability to perform expected requirements or more effort is needed to meet requirements as they have displayed limited contributions.

1 Unacceptable When a staff members has been below accepted limits and as such has not met the minimum requirements.

The "3" rating reflects the need for a mid-point category to describe the performance of most

executives, who are performing as expected in their job. For ratings other than "3" specific reasons have to be given. Each factor on the form should be considered in isolation. For example an employee may be

graded as 4 (Above Target) for Quality of work but his pace of work could be slow and he could be 2 (Need Improvement) for the Quantity of work.

It should be emphasised that a 2 or 1 (Need Improvement or Unacceptable) ratings are not necessarily a criticism but is solely a reflection on a person's performance or particular quality or characteristic during the past year which can be used to boost and guide the appraisee's to improve themselves. Each factor ratings should be discussed with the staff prior to completion of the form (Refer to the attached FACTOR DEFINITION BOOKLET)

4.4 Section III : GOAL SETTING This section measures the realisation of the past years Objectives and Targets. Give a rating

from 5 to 1.

Measurement and realisation of Objectives, targets and projects during the past year.

Page 11: APA Guide

4.5 Section IV: 1) OBJECTIVES FOR NEXT YEAR

The purpose of formulating work objectives is to clearly communicate expected performance and to build a system for judging the quality of each persons performance on a regular basis. So long as the objectives are clear, measurable and linked to a time frame, they will be very useful tools for all parties involved.

The Appraisees have to complete this section on their own, however, as their Appraiser you will have to guide them. In order for this section of the APA to be most beneficial, your staff will have to take some time to consider the quality and quantity of work they would like to produce in the coming year – whether that be new procedures, problems to be solved, skills that they would like to learn or improve upon. Following are some guidelines:

Aim High: Try to upgrade the task chosen by the staff. Inform him/her that next year he/she will be rated not only to measure his/her task realization but also the challenge and difficulty of the task. AREAS for Improvements: Look at the factors where the staff has scored 2 or 1 rating, these are areas where he/she needs to improve and can be made into goals for the next APA. Potential: You would be aware of your staff's potential. Suggest he/she should further develop these skills.

Once they have done this, they will need to list them clearly and concisely in order to be able to insure that their objectives for next year cover the following important points:

S PECIFIC M EASURABLE A CHIEVABLE R ELEVANT T IME-SCALE

On the template provided: A. OBJECTIVE: Write in the job duty B. HOW: For each objective, describe how the duty will be handled to accomplish this goal. What steps need to be taken into consideration?

C. RESULT: Determine what the results will look like when they are completed.

2) OVERALL RATING This is an average of Section II - Factors and Section III - Goals and Targets Remember that the overall rating is an assessment of actual performance and input to the bank and does not take account of an individual's potential or lack of it.

Page 12: APA Guide

4.6 Section V: APPRAISER'S COMMENTS The appraiser, the Head of Department or Branch Manager will complete items 1 to 3 and sign the form. These comments should be discussed/informed to the staff/Appraisee -

1. Additional Comments A) Strengths / Positive characteristics B) Areas for improvements 2. Do you consider that the person is fully and properly employed in the work they are doing? 3. Do you wish to retain this employee among your staff?

4.7 Section VI: APPRAISEE'S COMMENTS The appraisee may accept or not accept his overall rating and sign the APA form. If the Appraisee does not accept the rating If he/she disagrees, the reasons should be written in the space provided. The Branch Manager

would then interview the Appraisee in the presence of the appraiser (the Department Head) and a representative of Management Head Office.

4.8 Section VII: BRANCH MANAGER'S COMMENTS

On conclusion of the APA Interview, if the appraiser is other than the Branch Manager, the APA form is sent to the Branch Manager for his additional comments.

5. EXCEPTIONS TO THE APA PROCESS:

CHANGE IN STATUS - Transfer If an employee has undergone a change in status after the 1st of July, his appraisal will be conducted by his previous Head of Department / Branch Manager, as his current Department Head would not be fully able to judge/appraise his/her performance in less than three months.

NEW JOINERS

No APA interviews are needed for Executives on probation.

Page 32: APA Guide

32/58

Page 33: APA Guide

33/58

staff. These forms will be labeled containing a brief summary of the staff's current status, Employment date, age etc.

B) Interviews with individual staff November: Return APA forms with Branch Managers recommendation and approval to H.O. Administration.

2. Arranging the Interview Allow half an hour for each Interview. The Branch Administrator or the Branch Manager's Secretary will make the appointment and accordingly inform the staff through the "APA Interview Notification" with a copy to concerned Department Head.

3. The interview PROCESS Duration: Average duration would be half an hour, but interview should be kept brief for majority of staff with "Satisfactory" Performance. Spend more time on good/poor performers, with emphasis on their future development or improvement needs. Ensure that you are NOT interrupted during the interview. 3.1 The Appraiser The appraisal for in Clerical grades could be conducted by their Department Head. The Branch Manager may decide to attend the interview. 3.2 Preparation

Make sure you have a clear picture of the duties and responsibilities assigned to the staff (a copy of the Job Description). Also keep a copy of the Appraisee's Personal File handy for reference.

3.3 Beginning Give the Appraisee a warm welcome, making him/her feel at ease. Explain that the purpose of the Annual Performance appraisal is to review the performance and assigning a rating on each factor, identifying strengths and weaknesses. 3.4 The Interview Rating Process: When you mark a person try to keep in mind a mental picture of what you consider to be "fully acceptable" for that job. Your marks should be a measure of the degree by which the person is higher, average or lower than the average for the job. - Rate each person on the basis of his present job. - Give recognition for good performance, where it is due - Tactfully point out areas for improvement.

Page 34: APA Guide

34/58

3.5 Some Do's and Don'ts

Do Don't Listen! Listen attentively and politely. Do all the talking yourself. Be calm and patient. Argue. Discuss the Appraisee's work in relation to job duties.

Compare with someone else.

Keep the discussion "on track" and firmly guide it.

Lose control of discussion.

Discuss best methods of avoiding future mistakes.

Dwell on weaknesses.

Permit the Appraisal to "Save face"; emphasize strong points.

Emphasize past failures.

Show that you are prepared to make recommendations, without firm commitment.

Promise anything over your authority e.g. annual increment.

Be fair and honest in the assessment. Overmark or praise without justification.

Show what should be done to improve and establish job targets.

Let an Appraisee leave with doubts as to what should be done to improve.

3.6 Closing - Give the Appraisee a chance to express his/her own views on any matters relating to his/her work or future development. - Inform the Appraisee of any improvement expected of him/her and assure him/her of your confidence in his/her ability and willingness to do better. - Summarize and agree on some plans for improvement - Do not promise what you cannot deliver - Finally thank them for their time.

4. The APA FORM: The APA form is divided into six sections, as follows: 4.1 Section I : LABEL This contains a brief summary of the staff's current status, grade, date of joining, age etc… 4.2 Section II : FACTORS The APA form is based on factors that you have to evaluate and give a rating from 5 to 1 to the employee. A detailed explanation of each factor follows. Use the "Comments" section following each statement to explain why the assigned rating is given and be as specific as possible. Comments must be included for all sections where the assigned rating is other than 'On Target' (3). Salary increases will not be processed unless all portions of the form are completed.

Page 35: APA Guide

35/58

OVERALL RATING This is an average of Section II - Factors (15 Factors) Remember that the overall rating is an assessment of actual performance and input to the bank and does not take account of an individual's potential or lack of this.

4.3 RATING SCALE Scale Description Explanation

5 Exceptional When a staff member has consistenly exceeded expectations throughout the year and is has demonstrated abilities beyond requirements.

4 Above Target When a staff member has frequently exceeded expectations throughout the year and has fully demonstrated abilities to requirements.

3 On Target When a staff member fully met expectations throughout the year and has achieved an acceptable level of requirements.

2 Need Improvement When a staff member needs to improve their ability to perform expected requirements or more effort is needed to meet requirements as they have displayed limited contributions.

1 Unacceptable When a staff members has been below accepted limits and as such has not met the minimum requirements.

The "3" rating reflects the need for a mid-point category to describe the performance of most staff, who are performing as expected in their job. For ratings other than "3" specific reasons have to be given. Each factor on the form should be considered in isolation. For example an employee may be graded as 4 (Above Target) for Quality of work but his pace of work could be slow and he could be 2 (Need Improvement) for the quantity of work.

It should be emphasised that a 2 or 1 (Need Improvement or Unacceptable) rating on a Factor is not necessarily a criticism but is solely a reflection on a person's performance or particular quality or characteristic during the past year which can be used to boost and guide the appraisee's to better themselves. Each factor ratings should be discussed with the staff, prior to completion of the form. Refer to the FACTOR DEFINITION BOOKLET.

4.4 Section III : OBJECTIVES FOR NEXT YEAR

Page 36: APA Guide

36/58

The purpose of formulating work objectives is to clearly communicate expected performance and to build a system for judging the quality of each persons performance on a regular basis. So long as the objectives are clear, measurable and linked to a time frame, they will be very useful tools for all parties involved.

The Appraisees have to complete this section on their own, however, as their Appraisee you will have to guide them. In order for this section of the APA to be most beneficial, your staff will have to take some time to consider the quality and quantity of work they would like to produce in the coming year – whether that be new procedures, problems to be solved, skills that they would like to learn or improve upon. Following are some guidelines:

Aim High: Try to upgrade the task chosen by the staff. Inform him/her that next year he/she will be rated not only to measure his/her task realization but also the challenge and difficulty of the task. AREAS for Improvements: Look at the factors where the staff has scored 2 or 1 rating, these are areas where he/she needs to improve and can be made into goals for the next APA. Potential: You would be aware of your staff's potential. Suggest he/she should further develop these skills.

Once they have done this, they will need to list them clearly and concisely in order to be able to insure that their objectives for next year cover the following important points:

S PECIFIC M EASURABLE A CHIEVABLE R ELEVANT T IME-SCALE

On the template provided: A. OBJECTIVE: Write in the job duty B. HOW: For each objective, describe how the duty will be handled to accomplish this goal. What steps need to be taken into consideration?

C. RESULT: Determine what the results will look like when they are completed.

4.5 Section IV: APPRAISER'S COMMENTS

Page 37: APA Guide

37/58

The appraiser, the Head of Department or Branch Manager will complete items 1 to 3 and sign the form. These comments should be discussed/informed to the staff/Appraisee - 1. Additional Comments

A) Strengths / Positive characteristics B) Areas for improvements 2. Do you consider that the person is fully and properly employed in the work they are doing? 3. Do you wish to retain this employee among your staff?

4.6 Section V: APPRAISEE'S COMMENTS The employee may accept or not accept his overall rating and sign the APA form. If the Appraisee does not accept the rating

If he/she disagrees, the reasons should be written in the space provided. The Branch Manager would then interview the Appraisee in the presence of the appraiser (the employee's Department Head) and a representative of Management Head Office.

4.7 Section VI: BRANCH MANAGER'S COMMENTS

On conclusion of the APA Interview, if the appraisee is other then the Branch Manager, the APA form is sent to the Branch Manager for his additional comments.

5. EXCEPTIONS TO THE APA PROCESS:

CHANGE IN STATUS - Transfer If an employee has undergone a change in status after 1st of July, his appraisal will be conducted by his previous Head of Department / Branch Manager, as his current Department Head would not be fully able to judge/appraise is performance in less than three months.

NEW JOINERS No APA interviews are required for staff on probation.
