There is no employee in the world with just a single KRA.
In today’s reality, each of us has multiple responsibilities & is expected to multi task.
Along with a clear communication on how KRAs will be evaluated, equally important is the need to define the priority of one KRA over the other.
This helps employees know the mix of their job responsibilities & accordingly focus on their day to day duties.
Yes, assigning weights to KRAs help.
So long as there is a uniform understanding of what constitutes 30% or say, 15%.
Key takeaway for Practitioners
Sometimes it helps for Managers & employees to assign KRAs on qualitative priorities like Critical, High, Medium & Low.
For the purpose of rating & overall performance scores, an uniform weightage can be set for each such priority & accordingly assigned.
However, the more important need is to educate employees & Managers on the need to prioritize the KRAs aligned to organizational business objectives.
