As in any system,periodic review and amendments has to be made to keep in attuned with industry best practices. It has been observed that implementation of the PMS has weaken in terms of objectively measuring how employees perform against set standards and targets. There have been disparities in the use of performance measurement indicators for employees carrying out similar functions or have similar key result areas. With the observed disparities in the implementation of the PMS, an opportunity to improve the system was the subject of this re-entry project with the following objectives: a. To ensure clarify of communication and cascading of targets; b. To strengthen linkage of individual performance to organizational vision, mission and strategic goals; c. To maximize or expand use of the PMS as a development tool for employees and d. To encourage employees to work efficiently and effectively towards achievement of the Bank's development mandate. To address the gaps identified in the implementation of the PMS, specifically on individual appraisal, consultations with department representatives or the identified PMS focal persons were made in a series of round table sessions. This was done to gather inputs for the amendments in the existing guidelines and crafting of catalogue of performance measurement indicators (PMI).
