One of the responsibilities of the Department of Human Resource (HR) in the Province is the study of the half-yearly Performance Appraisal of all our permanent Professional and Technical Staff prepared by the Directors of our apostolic departments, book centres, and educational institutions.
The purpose of a performance appraisal is to facilitate a very personal interaction between the Director and the Staff of a particular department during which the Director rates/evaluates the performance of the staff during the preceding six months in the various aspects of his/her services such as punctuality, loyalty to the Institute and commitment to the given responsibility, team spirit and creativity, communication and organizational skills, personal integrity and accountability, etc. On the other hand, the staff is asked to give his/her rating of the work environment and the job satisfaction that we provide in our campus. Generally we do the appraisals in the months of March and October. The appraisal forms duly filled and signed by both the Director and the Staff are sent to the office of the HR.
After an initial scrutiny of the forms by the department of HR, the forms are presented at a meeting of the Appraisal Evaluation Committee (AEC) consisting of the DGA, Financial Administrator and HR. The committee will carefully study the ratings done by the Director and the Staff, the suggestions and recommendations regarding salary increment and special incentives for deserving cases, reminders/warnings, if and when needed, to be issued to staff for their poor performance.
In the light of such a study appropriate and relevant decisions will be taken and the same will be communicated to the Directors concerned for immediate implementation. The Department of Human resource has just completed the March appraisals of our staff from our apostolic departments, book centres and educational institutions on 31st March 2024.
