HR Analytics: Factors impacting appraisal (excel analytics)

Hello everyone, I welcome you to the course “HR Analytics : Factors affecting Performance Appraisal”.

Appraisals are an act of assessing something or someone. A performance appraisal is a regular review of an employee’s job performance and overall contribution to a company. Also known as an “annual review,” “performance review or evaluation,” or “employee appraisal,” a performance appraisal evaluates an employee’s skills, achievements and growth, or lack thereof. Companies use performance appraisal meetings to justify an employee’s reward which is usually increment in salary or bonus, based on their performance. Employees get good increments if their performance was commendable, whereas they get low increments or no increments at all if their performance was poor. The HR department is heavily engaged in it. It is clear by performance appraisal definition that this process affects the employees heavily. A good increment will lead to a more productive and satisfied employee. Whereas a low increment might lead to an unhappy employee which in turn might lead to the employee leaving the company. Hence this process should be unbiased. If an employee gets a lower increment than he deserves then he would be really unsatisfied and would look forward for an opportunity in another company.

After this course you will be able to judge whether the performance appraisal process is biased or not. There can be many reasons leading to a biased appraisal process, like experienced employees getting higher increment, employees belonging to a particular department getting higher increment, male employees getting higher increment, etc. Performance appraisal should only be dependent on an employee’s performance and not on anything else.

We will use linear regression to find out factors which influence performance appraisal. This would help us find out if the process is biased or not.
