Preface
Personnel Management occupies the prime position of all disciplines in Management which deals with many resources. These resources were expanded to include, among others, the following: Men, materials, machinery, money, etc
Human beings play a dual role- a resource as well as a motive force for all other resources. They are also responsible for manipulating all other resources by way of developing, utilizing, commanding and controlling them like materials, machines, money, information, land, infrastructure, etc. Human resources management (HRM) plays a decisive role in to manpower development: be it labors, students, educated, unemployed, supervisor or manager. Proper H.R.M. can develop right type of shop floor ethos and values which improve productivity and personal satisfaction of employees.
BHEL is one of the of India's nine largest Public Sector Undertakings or PSUs, known as the Navratnas or the nine

For getting Maharatna status, a company needs to have a three-year track record of annual net profit of over Rs 5,000 crore, net worth of more than Rs 15,000 crore and turnover of more than Rs 25,000 crore. It should also be a listed firm. "It (to accord Maharatna status to BHEL) is being examined and will be done shortly. BHEL is likely to fulfill that criteria soon," Patel added. BHEL's turnover was Rs 33,173.34 crore in the fiscal 2009-10. However, the company's annual average net profit was Rs 3,433 crore during the last three years. Its shares were trading at Rs 2192.5, down 0.05 per cent from the last close at the Bombay Stock Exchange. Maharatna scheme was announced by the government in December 2009 to give more operational freedom to the topperforming PSUs. When that several PSUs lack the required number of independent directors on their board, Patel said the positions would be filled up soon.

"Many PSUs have independent director vacancies. The independent director position has to be fulfilled at the earliest and Department of Public Enterprises will make sure that all the position have eminent people," he added. As per the Clause 49 of the listing agreement between companies and stock exchanges requires companies to have independent directors in half of the board positions. Some large listed state-run companies do not have the required number of independent directors. This has impeded the government's effort to divest part of its stake in public sector firms, forcing it to name retired bureaucrats as independent directors. Out of 47 listed government companies, the boards of 17 companies like Indian Oil, BHEL and SAIL do not have the required number of independent directors," a recent government report had said. There are 246 Central Public Sector Enterprises in the country, as on March 2009.

3.Promotion Department A promotion is the advancement of an employee's rank or position in an organizational hierarchy system. Promotion may be an employee's reward for good performance i.e. positive appraisal. Before a company promotes an employee to a particular position it ensures that the person is able to handle the added responsibilities by screening the employee with interviews and tests and giving them training or on-thejob experience. A promotion can involve advancement in terms of designation, salary and benefits, and in some organizations the type of job activities may change a great deal. The opposite of a promotion is a demotion. 4.Transfer Department A transfer is a lateral move to a position in the same classified pay range (classified position) or to a position with comparable duties and responsibilities (non-classified positions). 5.Policy Department A policy is typically described as a principle or rule to guide decisions and achieve rational outcome(s). The term is not normally used to denote what is actually done, this is normally referred to as either procedure or protocol.

36
Whereas a policy will contain the 'what' and the 'why', procedures or protocols contain the 'what', the 'how', the 'where', and the 'when'. Policies are generally adopted by the Board of or senior governance body within an organization where as procedures or protocols would be developed and adopted by senior executive officers. A Policy can be considered as a "Statement of Intent" or a "Commitment". For that reason at least, we can be held accountable for our "Policy"

2. Creating an atmosphere of openness and knowledge sharing- creative communication To promote transparency BHEL has incorporated MECOM (Management Employee Communication Meeting), at its Bhopal unit. This plan entitles each worker to a presentation which facilitates open communication among workers and the senior management. This unique practice welcomes free criticism, appreciation, complaints and feedback from one and all. BHEL intends to bring about a revolutionary change through the incorporation of its new concept MECOM. BHELs initiative is a step towards understanding the organization at every level of management. It identifies the importance of its people and how people are its greatest assets which will finally take the organization to greater heights. Through this initiative, it seeks to strengthen the character of disclosure and transparency so that there is an unrestricted flow of information, which will create a conducive atmosphere for employee as well as organizational growth.

They have introduced a PRP scheme based on which the employees are paid bonus linked to their performance. There are many other schemes like IMPRESS and an IPR (Patent) scheme that reward excellence in performance.

4. Fair Evaluation System for Employees BHEL e-MAP system ensures all the parameters of fair Evaluation. All executives and supervisors are mapped through their balanced score cards. The measurement is not only of performance but also that of quality of performance. We at BHEL tend to measure behavioral traits too for identifying futures leaders and specialists. The whole process provides effective feedback leading to discussions and improvements. There have been continuous improvisations in this scheme for better and just evaluation. 5. Getting the right person in right time BHEL has been the first PSU to introduce an online system of recruitment even at artisan level. This has ensured a very quick yet transparent system of recruitment, they announce the results the next day of written test or interview and today this stand as a bench mark process amongst PSUs. They have gone into exercises of identifying the core and non core areas for recruitment, effective redeployment of existing manpower through retaining retraining. the They have retainership much scheme in for the expert manpower needed

Compensation and benefits: BHEL have been extremely good when it comes to pay packages and benefits. The recent wage revision has led to a very handsome increase in salary of workers.

Analysis of Performance Appraisal System in BHEL 1.1 Introduction A performance appraisal, employee appraisal, performance review, or (career) development discussion is a method by which the job performance of an employee is evaluated (generally in terms of quality, quantity, cost, and time) typically by the corresponding manager or supervisor. A performance appraisal is a part of guiding and managing career development. It is the process of obtaining, analyzing, and recording information about the relative worth of an employee to the organization. Performance appraisal is an analysis of an employee's recent successes and failures, personal strengths and weaknesses, and suitability for promotion or further training. It is also the judgement of an employee's performance in a job based on considerations other than productivity alone. People differ in their abilities and their aptitudes. There is always some difference between the quality and quantity of the same work on the same job being done by two different people. Performance appraisals of Employees are necessary to understand each employees abilities, competencies and relative merit and worth for the organization. Performance appraisal rates the employees in terms of their performance. Performance appraisals are widely used in the society. The
Ankit Michael Samuel, HR Intern, Batch: 12 th May, 2011 to 22nd June, 2011

history of performance appraisal can be dated back to the 20th century and then to the second world war when the merit rating was used for the first time. An employer evaluating their employees is a very old concept. Performance appraisals are an indispensable part of performance measurement.
53
The Employees ability, potential and performance are judged in the appraisal process. It is being tested that whether employee meets the declared objectives and how far the decided parameters are justified. The factors like Quality of work, Cost Effectiveness, Process Orientation, Contribution to the Group and Objective being met are analyzed in the process. The Objective of Appraisal system is to analysis the effectiveness of the employee in performing his/her job successfully or in an effective way. The Performance Appraisal Process gives a clear picture of the efforts placed by an employee in performing his/her job and the way he/she meets the deadlines of the project.

1.9 Role of Accepting Authority Accepting Authority (AA) is the one marked specifically for a set of individuals in the MAP system for finalising the scores of Part-B.
65
AAs score of Part-B will be taken as Final Score of Part-B for the individual & used for calculating the Composite Score of Part A+B. AA will be able to view the Part-A score of the individual but will not be able to change it. AA will also be able to get a comparative view of scores of Part-A & B of all individuals under his purview through a report on his dashboard.

The Performance Appraisal process in BHEL (Bhopal) mainly categorized in two way-
ARTISIAN/ WORKERS

SUPERVISOR
HR Intern, Batch: 12 th May, 2011 to 22nd June, 2011
67
Explanation: The Appraise does his self assessment by selecting certain KRA and allocating certain percent of work rate to it and forward it to the supervisor i.e. The Appraiser. The Appraiser gives his assessment on Part A and Part B and forwards it to the Appraise. The Appraise can have discussion only on the
Ankit Michael Samuel, HR Intern, Batch: 12 th May, 2011 to 22nd June, 2011
68
score of the Part A while Part B score is kept hidden. When Both Appraise and Appraiser are satisfied with their Part A score the report is forwarded to the reviewer who gives his final assessment score on Part A and Part B. This Ends the Phase 1 Process of Performance Appraisal. Note: No Self Assessment for Part-A2.
Part-A2 (new):
69
Explanation: The data from Phase 1 acts as an input to this phase 2. The intermediaries levels can only add comments to the performance score but cannot change anything. Its like a read only phase. And, then finally the report reaches the final authority , who gives the final score for Part B only on individual competencies. And then a final Performance Score Card is generated for the Employee for that year.
70
In the performance appraisal process an employee has to select some KRA per department to a net sum of 100. Some KRAs are optional functional while some are core functions. The KRAs that ends with 00 are termed as Mother Care KRAs . It includes all sub child KRAs under it. While if an employee wishes to choose just some child care KRAs he/she can do that also! Example: Mother Care KRA: HRX02200 (Ends with 00)
Child Care KRAs: HRX002201, HRX002202, HRX002203, HRX002204, HRX002205, HRX002206, HRX002207 Mother Child KRA: Many of the KRAs derived from the Balanced Scorecard are group level activities that cannot be performed by a single executive. Such KRAs can normally be taken up by the group head and people at the working level may not find it suitable for their plans as they would be doing only part of the activity. Such group level KRAs have been marked as Mother KRAs. These Mother KRAs are further broken down into smaller activities which can be performed at the level of the individual team members. Such individual level KRAs are
Ankit Michael Samuel, HR Intern, Batch: 12 th May, 2011 to 22nd June, 2011
71
called Child KRAs. The purpose of the Mother-Child Concept is to break down major activities into smaller ones which are executable by the working level executives for which they are accountable. In case the entire work related to an activity is being done by a single individual, he will select the Mother KRA in his plan. In such a case he cannot select the Child KRAs However, if an individual is responsible for only a part(s) of a Mother KRA, he has to choose the specific Child KRA (s). He can choose more than one Child KRA of the same Mother, in case it is applicable. Critical KRAs: Certain KRAs have been identified and marked as "Critical" for their function. These KRAs are essential for the fulfillment of the objectives of that function and must be taken by someone in that function. Functional HODs should ensure that all Critical KRAs have been taken by some individual or the other of that function. They have been identified with an Asterisk (*) mark towards the Left Hand Side Panel in the KRA Master (Near the Check Boxes). 2.3 Part A1 The Part A1 deals with the KRA Target Achievement. It focuses on: It consists of KRA assessment. It will have the WEIGHTAGE of 80 %.

Assessment of Part-B will be done on-line as part of Final Review Module of e-MAP. It will be available to the assessment authorities after the assessment of Part-A is completed. The final authority to approve Part-B score will be called the Accepting Authority. There will be two sets of Skills/ Competencies mapped to different levels of executives as follows: E1A to E5 - Skill/ Competency Set-1 E6 & E7 - Skill/ Competency Set- 2

2.9 Suggestions of BHEL Employees 1. The Process which had been implemented should be monitored effectively else its purpose except for the PRP will not serve. 2. Discussion and representation mode of e-Map and should be more transparent. 3. Training programs should be conducted for executives for enrichment of knowledge. 4. Should be 100% transparent and performance based. 5. It is excellent System.
2.10 Conclusion The overall BHEL Employees were seemed to be satisfied by the current Performance Appraisal System prevailing in BHEL.
112
Our Group of interns took visits to various departments of HR in BHEL and tried to know their outlook on the system.
We did a official satisfaction survey too. (Not Included security reasons. ) From the knowledge of the system and the systematic distribution and processing of jobs or assignments helps in determining the right talent for the right job.
I wish BHEL HR team a good luck and bright prospective in attracting and retaining the right talent. :)
