Performance Policies
Deloitte has always believed in people being their assets and has maintained the status quo
since its inception. It has been an employee centric organization and believes in health of

5
employees to be the health of the company. They always have had unique HR policies and
practices that made the employees feel important and gave them the utmost importance.
They have begun to reinvent the performance management policies and wanted to shift
towards newer and contemporary methods of evaluation since the old methods weren’t
proving to be useful.
The performance management revolution initiative taken by the company is seeing a great
success. Across all industries and geographies, companies are re-evaluating every aspect of
their programs, from goal setting and evaluation to incentives and rewards. Organizations are
aligning these changes to both business strategy and the ongoing transformation of work. The
paradigm shift from old and traditional methods to newer methods is seen owing to the
changing business and industry trends.
There are many reasons why the company has taken this measure of changing the method of
evaluating performance. Few of the reasons are mentioned below:
 Employees want regular feedback
 Employees and organizations expect continuous learning. New performance
management practices (and tools) facilitate regular discussions about capabilities and
skills, helping employees learn where to focus and what learning to adopt.
The focus of evaluation has shifted from talking about people to the higher officials to talking
with people about themselves in open conversations. Another sign of positive change is a rise
in employee-driven communication rather than one-way feedback. Evaluating managers on
the quantity and quality of conversations is becoming a key to both team and manager
success.
While the use of a forced distribution curve may be fading, many organizations are unwilling
to give up the concept entirely. Ratings are still widely used, though often with qualitative
measures instead of numbers. However, today’s new practices look at performance curves
and ratings based on richer data, using input from many sources, and in the context of a
continuous discussion about things that happened all year—rather than delivering a simple
end-of-year report that often loses sight of all the things that happen over that 12-month time
period.
The end-of-year evaluation was replaced by continuous feedback system between employees
and managers. These changes are not merely new processes, but new organizational muscles.
As such, they will take time to develop and need constant exercise to maintain. But over time,
they will become stronger.
Each employee will be assigned a mentor for each fiscal year to help the employee set goals
and duties for the year. These targets are set at the beginning of each year by the mentor and
the same is communicated to the team leads under whom the employee would be working
and heir respective reporting managers.
Bi-weekly/Monthly meetings would be conducted between the mentor and employee to
check if the employee is on the right track to achieve the targets. If there is any knowledge
gap, the learnings are to be done and these are evaluated by the mentors.
The team leads and managers observe the performance and improvements of performances of
the employee and give feedback related to the shortcomings and good work that is being
done. This happens on a continuous basis and the employees are advised to meet their

6
mentors and team leads on regular basis. The mentors, team leads, and managers are asked to
give a very honest feedback about the employee to him/her. Minutes of meetings are to be
sent for every meeting they attend to keep a track of what points were discussed.

The year-end performance appraisals are done considering the yearlong performance and the
performance metrics that were designed during these meetings and if the employee has
achieved their goals and targets.
This is continuous feedback system where each employee is put in an environment where the
performance is observed timely and continuous feedback is given for constant improvement.
