1. SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The Project Report is divided into two parts First Part is about Performance Management System (PMS) how it is done here at ISPAT, what are the process involved, to understand what is the role of Appaisee, Reporting Officer, Reviewer Officer, how the feed back is given, how is the Appaisee rewarded by the Reporting Officer in form of variable pay or promotion and other benefits.
The second part of the project consists of Employee Satisfaction Survey, where a questionnaire consisting of 12 questions was prepared and circulated in various part of the plant and corporate office , questions regarding various problem which an employee can have were asked in the questionnaire, the company is facing crises as lot of talented pool of individual and other people were leaving the organization in large number to understand the reason for that and to help the management to prevent more people from leaving the organization a sincere effort was taken in preparing the questionnaire and personally distributing it to the employees of the company
In plant the questionnaire was distributed in HSM, IT Department, Purchase, Accounts, Central Stores etc. while in the corporate office at CASABLANCA, CBD Bhelapur it was distributed to General Services (GS), Shipping and Logistics, Technical Audit, Recruitment which is a part of Human Resource Department.
People gave their honest feedback in spite of their busy schedule and was a good experience interacting with them.
OBJECTIVES
• To understand the problems faced by the employees.• To help the management to better understand their colleagues better.• Assessment of the integral support, recognition, and involvement of
employees in the Employee Satisfaction.• To study overall impact of Performance Management System (PMS)
on the organization.
METHODOLOGY USED
• The research was based on primary data• A survey questionnaire was given to 110 employees from all the
departments in ISPAT. The employees have been taken from the Dolvi-manufacturing plant as well as 20 from the Casablanca-corporate office also.
• The audit instrument was questionnaire.• Various Documents was studied.• Data Analysis technique and tools- pie chart and bar graphs
LIMITATIONS
• Time Shortage-It was done as apart of my course so I had limited time. This shortage of time was a constraint for detail study.
• Limitation of respondents - Some of the employees were reluctant and apprehensive in answering my questionnaire. I had to convince them a lot. Also due to their busy schedule they were unable to answer the questionnaire within the reasonable time.
• Cost Limitation - Due to limited availability of money a full detailed study could not be made.
• Limitation of the researcher-I had taken full care not to let any biases enter in my analysis and interpretation but there is the possibility that some bias might have crept in.

A KRA Should Be SMART
A SMART Goal describes and quantifies an outcome and specifies Accountability; the resulting objective should be:
Attainable Within your control and limited enough that, with a reasonable or stretch effort, it can be accomplished
Original Goal Without SMART An Attainable Goal Become a better presenter In order to determine whether or not my objective is attainable, I’ll ask myself: Do I have the skills and knowledge needed? For example, do I know how to appropriately answer questions during a presentation? If not, I may want to seek coaching on this skill or take a presentation skills class.
When presenting, I will ensure that my audience understands PARIVARTAN features and benefits by pacing the presentation to the listener(s) and handling questions appropriately. I will ask other employees present at the meetings to provide feedback on these behaviors.
Specific Focused on a key outcome
A Goal Without SMART A Specific Goal Become a better presenter When presenting, I will ensure that my audience

Form
Getting started step 1 After the all the procedures are over, when you log in ,in the ispat portal a web
page will appear ,you must log in the an employee form will appear as above
You need to enter your Employee number only; the other information will be
populated automatically
Getting started step 2In this step Task factors are decided with consultation of the reporting boss, it
should be SMART as explained above, the task given to employee or
allotted to him is strictly according to the competencies of the
employee, It is a general practice that 10 Task factor are usually give,
but it can be changed according to the grade of the employee, targets
that are to be achieved.
Getting started step 3After deciding the annual Task factors it divided or broken into Quarterly KRA
(Key Result Area) it is in accordance with the annual task factor, It should not
deviate fro the annual targets. Task Factors are broken down because it easy or
convenient to achieve, it help in correcting the Error at an early Stage.
After the targets are reached or if time has lapsed then employee first rates
himself, then he is rated by the immediate reporting boss
Similar step is followed in all other 3 quarter and employee is finally rated by
superior’s superior i.e. Reviewer ,and then it is decided that weather he is Non
performer. Partial performer, Contributor, Significant contributor or Exceptional
Contributor.
If in case if the rating given by the immediate boss is having significant difference
with the Reviewer, then in a meeting between the employee,
Reporting Superior and reviewer is held where they clear the difference.

Depending on this the Employee is give increment, promotion or other reward etc
The whole process is done in the following Manner (refer the Following
Diagrams)
Getting started step 4The above diagram gives an Idea about how the feedback process is done
First the reporting officer gives his feedback and gives suggestion to his
employer regarding where the improvement to be made for better performance in
the future is
After this Reviewing Officer gives his feedback regarding the performance of the
employee (reviewee) she can also give his/her opinion regarding improvement

FEEDBACK
Role of the Reporting Officer
Flow diagram
Preparing for feedback
Decide time & venue
Deliver feedback
Summarize feedback
• Enough time should be given to Appraisee prepare for the session
• Venue should not be the work area of either appraisee or RO - The
discussion should preferably be held off-site
• RO should read the Performance appraisal form & identify examples of
performance & non-performance
• RO, to independently identify areas for discussion & chart possible
developmental paths
• Begin with positive feedback
• Listen to appraisee’s point of view
• Create a developmental & amicable atmosphere
• Summarize the discussion
• List out 3-4 developmental areas, and corresponding activities
• Set a status review schedule
FEEDBACK Last step 6
The above diagram clearly shows the process for preparation for feedback , it is
not an easy task , the feedback should be very clear it should have no
ambiguity , it should motivate his junior in performing better in his future and if he
is good performer it should help him to continue the good work.
The process is done through four stages described in above diagram
The process ends with the summary feedback.

FEEDBACK TIPS FOR REPORTING OFFICERS
Tips for giving feedback
Why feedback
Good feedback
Wrong feedback
Informal and formal opportunities for Reporting Officers to connect or
“touch base” with you to:
• Provide support and direction
• Keep performance on track
Coaching and feedback can include:
• Positive feedback and recognition
• Corrective feedback
• Identifying obstacles to performance
• Sharing information
• Personal insults
• Conflicting information or too much, all at once
• Unclear messages causing the other person to guess
Giving
positive
• Cite specific accomplishments
• Show appreciation
• Ask employees how they can leverage performance in a particular
area to enhance their overall performance
• Encourage employees to continue high level of performance
Giving negative
feedback
• Describe the observed behavior and provide specific examples
• Focus on behavior that can be changed, not the person
• Define the impact on you and other members
• Get a reaction from the employee
• Share your expectations for future behavior
• Together explore options for solving the problem
• Describe consequences of improved/not improved performance
• Agree on a time table to review progress
• Offer support to help or remove obstacles
The above figures shows the linkages between various components, it tells what
one can achieve if performance in the PMS is good it gives clear Idea as
to how one is rewarded
Take for example the second box shows that if you consistently perform i.e. if
your cumulative score in the PMS system is good it results you getting a
fixed Increment in Salary or Promotion depending on the situation under
which the performance was effected.
This condition changes from time to time depending on the circumstances.

10. CONCLUSION
Performance Management System refers to the tool of assessment of an employee’s actual performance, behavior on jobs and his potential for future performance .PMS has several objectives but the main objectives are to assess training needs ,motivate the employees maintain good performance level, effect promotions and to give pay increases
Performance appraisal is the main part of PMS. Appraisal of performance proceeds in asset pattern. Job Description and standard goals setting are essential factors related to this process. Once the standard goals are set and the Key Result Area of individual are defined, the appraisal interviews are conducted. The appraisal data is used for various HR activities, especially for scheduling training and development programmes.
However, it is difficult to the subjectivity in the appraisal, as it takes place especially while evaluating the “Behavioral Aspect” and not the performance related aspects.
And regarding Employee Satisfaction is concerned it is the fundamental job of Human Resource management, and authorities at top of the hierarchy that employees are respected, keep them satisfied all the time so they feel comfortable working at ISPAT but not an easy one.
