Today it stands as a business growing at the rate of 11;%< per cent annually. Together with banking services it adds about 8 per cent to the country$s 3#P .In spite of all this growth the statistics of the penetration of the insurance in the country is very poor. 6early .<= of Indian populations are without /ife insurance cover and the 'ealth insurance. This is an indicator that growth potential for the insurance sector is immense in India. It was due to this immense growth that the regulations were introduced in the insurance sector and in continuation >(alhotra 0ommittee? was constituted by the government in 1--* to examine the various aspects of the industry. The key element of the reform process was Participation of overseas insurance companies with %2= capital. 0reating a more efficient and competitive financial system suitable for the requirements of the economy was the main idea behind this reform. @ince then the insurance industry has gone through many sea changes .The competition /I0 started facing from these companies were threatening to the existence of /I0 .since the liberali"ation of the industry the insurance industry has never looked back and today stand as the one of the most competitive and exploring industry in India.

/ife Insurance in its current form was introduced in 1.1. when )riental /ife Insurance 0ompany began its operations in India. 3eneral Insurance was however a comparatively late entrant in 1.1< when Triton Insurance company set up its base in Dolkata.

intense competition in the last five years has made it difficult for new entrants to keep pace with the leaders and thereby failing to make any impact in the market. ,lso as the private sector controls over %2.1.= of the life insurance market and over %2.1*= of the non;life market the public sector companies still call the shots.

Performance appraisal is a systematic and objective way of judging the relative worth or ability of an employee in performing the task. Performance appraisal helps to identify those who are performing their assigned tasks and those who are not and the reasons for such performance.

M!#%rn ADDrai$a(7;
Performance appraisal may be defined as a structured formal interaction between a subordinate and supervision that usually takes the form of a periodic interview 5annual or semi annual7 in which the work performance of the subordinate is examined and discussed with a view to identifying weakness and strengths as well as opportunities for improvement and skills development. In many organi"ations but not all appraisal results are used either directly or indirectly to help determine reward outcomes. That is the appraisal results are used to identify the better performing employees who should get the majority of available merit pay increases bonuses and promotions. 4y the same token appraisal results are used to identify the poorer perform; ers who may require some form of counseling or in extreme cases demotion dismissal or decreases in pay . 5)rgani"ations need to be aware of laws in their country that mi; ght restrict their capacity dismiss employees or decrease pay7.:hether this is an appropriate use of performance appraisal F the assignment and justification of rewards and penalties F is very uncertain and contentious matter.

 Process is clear to express as an individual his strengths and capacity. It gives an opportunity to show case his achievement. It helps to understand the required capacity to meet requirements. , Performance ,ppraisal system tools should be based on assessment of work performance not personality. , Performance ,ppraisal system tools should be kept as simple as possible while meeting objectives. #etailed orientation will be given at all level at beginning of the performance appraisal process.

CONCL-SION
(ost of the time Performance ,ppraisal is used for determining compensation increases training need identification and for promotions. The Performance ,ppraisal has delinked itself from being an instrument of evaluating performance in the organi"ation. ,pplication of performance and bringing about better performance management practices that enables organi"ation to improve their performance and bring in a performance driven culture is the need of the hour rather performance appraisal only. 6o #oubt without the commitment of the top management it would just be very difficult to bring this sort of change. This in fact calls for a cultural change where in emphasis is not only given to the )utcome or the end result but also on the process and effort made to achieve the result. :hile discussing of the process ! effort we need to focus on the leadership style his approach of consulting others his ability to learn his approach as a team member his effort in planning his days and week and his overall orientation for subordinates development. ,ll this really calls for a different ball games wherein the concerned supervisors are able to emphasi"e with his sub;ordinates and is really above to understand his emotional world. In this era where every individual is competing with each other and where very tight schedules are drawn without much scope for slippages there is every probability that conflicts are going to become a common affair. ,s such is has become all the more important that a supervisor makes all out effort to understand emotional world of the sub;ordinate in terms of his hindering and facilitating factors in terms of achieving his goals what help the person growth and his own ambition in the next *;+ years what is happening on his family front. ,ll this shall only happen if the sub;ordinate is able to see value and a genuine concern in all this. &or this what can be done is that once in a month an effort can be made by the supervisor to sit his sub;ordinate to sit with his sub;ordinate and have a face to face 8* 1 P a g e

interaction in a non threatening atmosphere. :hat I have personally observed that it charges the motivation level of an individual considerably and in fact the employee makes all out effort to achieve the )rgani"ational goals.

RECOMMENDATION
Though the employees feels that the company is fair in its appraisal process but still has lot to in terms of making the appraisal process effective so that it results in enhanced employee satisfaction and helps in retaining company. The project leaders are dissatisfied with the way responsibilities are distributed. The company needs to works in this area and bring more clarity in the definitions of roles and responsibilities. The (anagement should design training and development programs career plans for their employees$ on the basis of skills knowledge needs. ,ppreciate employees$ on the basis of employees$ work performance by Promotion or increment in the salaries. The performance culture of the company is another area where needs to be done to improve the training regimen so that involvement of the employees is enhanced which finally would build the morale and productivity would be enhanced. Amployees have doubts about the rewards and feel that the system is not too transparent. This in the long run unattended would reduce the morale and may lead to attrition. key employees of the

Performance appraisal is very important for any company. It helps to make the companies employee work better and show good result for the company too. This helps the company to turn out to be profit making company. ,s in 4,B,B ,//I,6Q /I&A I6@C9,60A we are using the >9ating scales? or >&air comparison method? mostly to grade the performance of the employees. The method used by the company is very fair and it is very easy to be adopted by the personnel$s. This method is very convenient to be used. 4ut the drawback associated with the method is that it has now became an out dated method to be used because there are fifty percent chances of biasness to occur for a particular employee by the raters. ,fter the survey and the conversation by the people of other company we came to know that they have introduced the *2<;degree performance appraisal in the company. 4efore they were using the same method as used by 4,B,B ,//I,6Q /I&A I6@C9,60A at times they used >&orced choice method? also to rate the performance which affected the companies working to a great extent. 4ut when they reali"ed that they are having complains from the workers staff etc. they decided to go for a change and now they incorporated *2<;deree performance appraisal the result of using this method is that everyone in the company is satisfied by it. 'ence accordingly to my views I would also suggest the company to go for the change it the method adopted by them for better results and employee satisfaction.
