Chandigarh, October 8, 2018: In a major transformation aimed at streamlining the process
of annual performance appraisals of the Government Employees, Annual
Performance Appraisal Reports (APAR) for the FY 17-18 have been completed in
the online mode. The earlier system was plagued with delays often caused by
transfer of officers to their parent state or other locations. It is for the
first time that the appraisals of most of the GroupA, B and C employees has
been completed in time. Of close to 13000 employees whose performance was due,
98.25% had submitted their self-assessments online. Subsequently, the APARs
were written at 3 levels by the Reporting Authority, Reviewing Authority and
Accepting Authority of the respective employees. Compliance in excess of 98%
has been achieved at all these levels. Currently performance rating are being
disclosed to the employees.
A review meeting in this regard was held
today under the Chairmanship of Sh. Jitender Yadav, IAS, Special Secretary IT.
He lauded the efforts of all the departments and said, “It was a mammoth task
spanning large number of employees and officers. Given that the system has been
implemented for the first time and lack of computer knowledge of most of the
employees, achieving such levels of compliance is noteworthy”. He also
requested all the departments to come forward with their suggestions and
feedback for better implementation of the initiative in the next financial
year.
Speaking during the meeting, Director
Information Technology, Sh. Arjun Sharma, IAS said, “We have created a
dedicated cell for capacity building and handholding of employees. Nodal
officers and master trainers were identified in each
department. Continuous communication and feedback have ensured timely
completion of the cycle”.
It was also apprised during the
meeting that the APAR activity was successfully preceded by filing of Annual
Property Returns online for the first time. Compliance in excess of 90% was
also reported. In order to further streamline the employee functions, work on
online service books and online Ex-India leave modules would be taken up
aggressively.
