Key Result Areas ( KRA)

Your Key Result Areas are the activities that you must do to fulfill your responsibilities and achieve your business goals. Make sure your KRAs are clear, specific, and measurable. A good KRA includes the ongoing responsibilities of the position and the purpose and benefits of performing these responsibilities. KRAs can be used as a tool to measure performance, along with other modules like Goals, Skillset, etc. KRAs can be created and mapped to a department, designation, designation and department and location.

• Adding and Tagging KRAs
• KRA vs Goals
• Importing KRAs and KRA mapping

Defining KRA permissions

You can decide to whom you want to give permission to tag KRAs: Reporting Manager, Self. By default, it will be enabled for Administrators. 

To do this,

1. From your home page, go to Performance > Settings > Permissions.

To tag the KRA to a Department, Designation, Department and Designation, or Location, 

1. Select from one of the drop-down options.
2. Click Tag KRA.

4. Select the KRA and give the corresponding weightage. Ensure the total weightage of the selected KRAs does not exceed 100%. Weightages can also be given in decimals. For example 22.2%.

Now, a KRA has been added. If permission has been given, employees will be able to see the KRAs available for them. They can tag themselves by following the steps given below.

1. Go to Performance > My Review > KRA
2. Click on Tag KRA, select the KRA and click Submit

​

KRA vs Goals

You can either rate the KRAs individually or have Goals mapped to the KRAs and rate the Goals using KRA vs Goals module. You have the option to decide which method you would like to follow. The selected KRA will be listed under My Review tab.

If KRA vs Goals is selected, users can add Goals to these KRAs by clicking on Add Goals. 

You can also include KRA vs Goals as part of your appraisal cycle and use it as a tool to measure performance. 

Mapping and Unmapping goals

Goals can be unmapped from an existing KRA and be mapped again to a different KRA.

To map goals, click the ellipsis icon beside the KRA.

Select the goals you want to map with the KRA. More than one goal can be selected.

Similarly, goals can also be unmapped.
