Apollo Tyres -PACE

In Apollo Tyres appraisals were done on paper. As it was an annual review of

performance, employees occasionally did not remember their achievements at the

start of the year. Apollo tyres implemented an e-appraisal system, to bring in

transparency and quicken the process of appraisals. In PACE, first corporate

goals are created, and based on these corporate goals, all business units create

their goals. Based on these goals, employees create their KRAs, which are linked

to the business unit goals. Another interesting thing is that an employee can

see his boss' KRAs, so that he can effectively link his KRAs with his boss' KRAs.

This process ensures that the whole organization is heading towards to achieve

corporate goals. As the performance parameters are defined in advance, employees

know how their performance will be measured. Every six months there is a review

of targets, and every quarter there is a review of KRAs, based on which bonuses

are paid.

The process starts with the self-evaluation of the employee. Then it goes

upto two levels, before which there is a one-to-one discussion between the

employee and his boss.

All in all, the PACE system improves transparency between HR and employees

and employees will be aware how they will be measured.
