PMS System

 

The performance appraisal is a way for supervisor to evaluate the performance of his respective sub-ordinates. It helps employees work on areas that need improvement and work with the employee to set goals for career development. With the business world getting increasingly competitive, some companies are finding it difficult to find time for one-to-one appraisals and have turned to electronic performance appraisals instead. Therefore, they opt for alternative solution which is online PMS.  

Why Online PMS?

• Online performance appraisal system assists employee and manager to fill in their portions of the evaluation when they can. Conducting PMS in conventional approach requires the managers and staff to scheduling a meeting to discuss the evaluation. This will consume much time where cause delay the process
• Online appraisal system can be used to make sure that all appraisals are seen by the appropriate parties on time. That increases the efficiency of the workflow appraisals. Instead of a stack of appraisals sitting on a manager's desk waiting for review, they can be part of a file that the manager can review at leisure.

What are the challenges?

• Online PMS removes personal interaction between employees and managers. When all parties are filling out online forms rather than discussing the employee's performance, it can be difficult to create a career plan for the employee or to work on a program to fix the deficiencies in their performance.
• Online system is exposed to system failure or mistake. Without human interaction at each level of the appraisal process these mistakes will remain in a report.

From my point of view, online PMS could not be a stand-alone system for appraisal. The appraisal should be conducted via one-to-one session between the manager and staff. It is more meaningful where each party could receive feedback directly. The online system could assist the process of compilation and reporting purposes where it could be done instantly without the manager needing to take time to compile reports. The calibration also could be analyze systematically and expedite the process in timely manner.
