Despite its strong market presence, the company’s internal performance management infrastructure for its business development and grand channel teams had not been systematically built. The leadership engaged Dr. Meenu Rathore to implement a structured PerformanceManagementSystem(PMS)acrosstheseteams.Theengagementresultedin clearly defined KRAs and KPIs, a weekly review and reporting mechanism, and a self-evaluation capability for every employee.

THECHALLENGE

TheJainamBrokingleadershipidentifiedthreespecifichurdlesintheirbusinessdevelopment operations that were limiting team performance and management visibility:

• DifficultyinimplementingthePMSsystem:Despiterecognisingtheneedforstructured performance management, the organisation had been unable to operationalise a consistent and effective PMS framework.
• No drill meetings to overcome issues: There was no regular, structured forum for reviewingperformancegaps,course-correcting,andaddressingteamchallengesina timely manner.

• Nostreamlinedappraisalsystem:Employeeappraisalslackedadefinedframework, making it difficult to evaluate performance objectively or link results to career progression.

Theabsenceofthesesystemsmeantthatemployeeslackedclarityonwhatwasexpectedof them, managers had limited visibility into team performance, and there was no consistent mechanism to develop or reward talent within the business development channel.

THEAPPROACH

Dr. Meenu Rathore and her team began the engagement by conducting one-on-one communication sessions with each employee in the target teams. These individual meetings wereusedtounderstandeachperson’sprofile,clarifytheircareeraspirations, andidentifygaps in role clarity and accountability. From this diagnostic foundation, the engagement was structured across three core areas:

1.  KRAandKPI Definition

Key Result Areas (KRAs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were defined for every employee.Eachteammemberwasgivenaprecisepictureoftheirjobprofile,theareasthey were responsible for, and the specific results they needed to produce. This eliminated role ambiguity and created a shared understanding between employees and management on performance expectations.

2.  WeeklyReportingandReviewFramework

A weekly reporting and feedback system was introduced, with the consulting team visiting the organisation to review progress, provide feedback to employees, and ensure accountability. Regular drill meetings were institutionalised so that issues could be identified and addressed consistentlyratherthanallowedtoaccumulate.Thiscadencemadeimplementationsignificantly easier, as employees had continuous support and direction.

3.  PerformanceMeasurementandCareerPathPlanning

Astructuredperformancemeasurementsystemwasdeployed,enablingbothmanagementand employees to track progress against defined KRAs and KPIs. Employees became capable of self-evaluating their own performance, understanding their growth trajectory, and identifying what they needed to do to improve. Career path frameworks were built to ensure that performance outcomes were directly linked to employee development and advancement.
