8. APPRAISAL SYSTEM OF
TATA MOTORS
The appraisal model which is followed on annual
basis starting from the month of April till March has
been extremely effective for the employees of Tata
Motors.
They have introduced a comprehensive system of
quarterly appraisals’ where an employee selects
his/her own goals or Key Result Area (KRAs) every
quarter and him/her self assesses his/her own
performance against these parameters.
The appraisals are proportional to effort of the
individual, team and the department.
9. TATA Motors have a goal setting model,
Goals can be established in a variety of ways. Best way is
to set by joint participation between the
employee and the supervisor. This
method often leads to employee commitment,
a crucial ingredient in effective goal setting.
For this purpose, an online template is circulated in the
organization. Superiors fill out that form keeping in view the
performance of their subordinate over the year. This feedback
becomes the basis of the promotion of the employees.
Superior is responsible for categorizing the employess in
four category, namely –
A
B
C
D
This categorization is done both on the basis of performance
and the goals they were given.

13. DISADVANTAGES OF 360 DEGREE
APPRAISAL
With the increase in the number of raters it
becomes difficult to separate, calculate and
eliminate personal biasness and differences.
It is often time consuming and difficult to analyze
the information gathered.
360 degree feedback – as a process requires
commitment of top management and the HR,
resources(time, financial resources etc), planned
implementation and follow up.
The results can be manipulated by the employees
towards their desired ratings with the help of the
raters.
14. A WORD OF CAUTION
Feedback is almost always a sensitive subject.
People are often cautious, sometimes fearful, and
occasionally emotional about it. A good facilitator or
administrator recognizes and appreciates the
sensitive nature surrounding 360° feedback and
takes serious steps to insure the integrity of the
process and support of the individual.
Once the process has been breached by any of the
above actions, it will be difficult to recover. Spend
the time up front doing the homework necessary to
make the process successful. The results will be
more than worth it.
