Executive Summary
Bangla CAT is the dealer of Caterpillar Inc in Bangladesh. Bangla CAT has more than 2500
corporate customer. Within the industrial sector, Bangla CAT is the largest provider of
independent power generation solutions in Bangladesh and one of the largest Caterpillar gas
engine dealers globally. Bangla CAT has more than 2500 corporate customers.
Bangla Cat has its own performance management system. It uses 360 Degree Feedback to
evaluate its employees. At the starting the company selects the person who will evaluate whom.
Then it starts its process. Employees are oriented about the whole process. Then they are
provided the tools for evaluating their supervisors, peers or subordinates. When employees
complete evaluating each other the forms are collected to make the results. As the results are
completed it is distributed to all the associates.
The outcome of the performance management system of Bangla CAT is huge. Because of this
process it can identify the training and learning needs of the employees. As a result individual
improvement is ensured. With the help of this system the company can take motivational
programs for the employees. The performance management system helps to enhance the Bangla
CAT’s values. It helps the company to achieve its organizational goals. So the system is very
important for both employees and organization.
Goal setting theory is following from 2011 in Bangla CAT, before using the goal setting theory
Key Performance Indicators (KPI) was used. KPI is a performance appraisal system that is used
to identify the functional area of an employee. It provides the guidelines to improve the skill and
knowledge in the functional areas of the company. In KPI the employee was evaluated by
himself and his supervisor. The employee used to evaluate his activities that he has performed
throughout the whole year. But it didn’t capture the whole area of appraisal systems so the
company decided to use a new system that is goal setting.
Most of the employees of the Bangla CAT think that the current system is good for the
organization but still it needs to be improved. The authority should pay attention to the
vii
authenticity related issues of the system. As the competition is becoming higher and higher
Bangla CAT should keep some changes in the system. While processing the system Bangla
CAT should take the opinion and views of the employees. As a result the system would be more
productive.
A company’s success depends on the employees. If the employees are satisfied the company will
go longer. If the employees are not satisfied the company’ performance will go down. It is
performance appraisal system that helps an organization to understand its employee needs and
demands that are helpful for both organization and employee. While appraising employee
performance Bangla CAT should consider this matter which will be very effective for its overall
success.

Performance Management System of Bangla CAT
1.1 Origin of the Report
This report was given by honorable educator Farhana Nur Malik, lecturer of BBS at BRAC
University as the requirement of my Internship to gather knowledge and experience on the
performance management system.
1.2 Purpose
As I have completed all the semesters and courses of my BBA program, I have to complete my
internship. To complete my internship I have to make a project or report under the course
BUS400, and provide it to my university. As I have been contracted with the Human Resources
Department of Bangla CAT for three months to do my internship, I have chosen the
performance management system of BanglaCAT to complete my internship report. In this area I
tried to show the pros and cons of the performance management system of Bangla CAT. I tried
to show that how this process helps the company to achieve the bottom line. I tried to make a
clear understanding on this area so that I could make some recommendations which would be
helpful to improve and make a more effective system for appraising performance.
1.3 Background
As I have been doing my internship in the Human Resources Department of BanglaCAT I have
worked on several HR related issues. I have learned a lot of things from here so far. BanglaCAT
follows a balanced appraisal system to appraise their employee performance by 360 degree
performance appraisal & presently the company is introducing a new effective tool Goal Setting
for the management. This year I worked on these areas of Bangla CAT. So now I gathered
sufficient idea on the performance management system of BanglaCAT. As I am interested to
work on HR this area will help me to understand the performance management system related
issues of a company. It will guide me to make a clear thinking on the employee attitude and
2 | P a g e
Performance Management System of Bangla CAT
behavior. It will assist me to understand the employee psychology. With the help of this work I
will be able to gather knowledge on employee satisfaction and dissatisfaction. In a broader
perspective it will help me to manage the human resource.
1.4 Literature Review
In today’s world Human Recourses Management is too much important for every organization.
In early days when HR is not fully defined peoples face many problems to manage the employee.
That means all HR related acts are doing by “Peoples Department”. In early 1970s “Peoples
Department” is changed and the corporate world introduces a new department name of Human
Recourses Department.
Human Recourses Management means by acquiring new employee develop them through
training, mentoring or coaching, controlling and maintaining them is a better way so that an
organization can achieve their goals.
BanglaCAT is the exclusive dealer of Caterpillar Inc. U.S.A., world’s leader in construction and
mining equipment, having more than 450 employees. Its main dealing products are gas (for
captive power plant), diesel generators (standby & prime rating), earth moving equipments
(machine) & marine equipment. BanglaCAT has successfully implemented a balanced appraisal
system of 360 degree & Goal setting theory.
“The overall philosophy is to evaluate the employees with equal importance in both functional
and behavioral areas. Mainly Goal setting is the process to set a certain objective and work
through it to complete the goal it also represents the functional evaluation that is done by the
management’s approval and 360 ensure evaluation of the behavioral issues. The combination of
360 degree & Goal setting has represented a strong and balanced appraisal system in
BanglaCAT” (Mr. Monir Hossain., Head of HR, Bangla CAT).

3.1 Nature of the Job
Every organization wants to attract, motivate, and retain the most qualified employees and match
them to jobs for which they are best suited. As in Bangla CAT Human resources, training, and
labor relations managers and specialists provide this connection. Employees of HR Department
perform the administrative function of an organization, such as handling employee benefits
questions or recruiting, interviewing, and hiring new staff in accordance with policies established
by top management Compensation Allowances, insurances, communication, evaluation, and
performance appraisals, HRIS ,ERP, Training ,Orientation, Forecasting, Goal setting, Feedback
etc. Today's human resources workers manage these tasks, but, increasingly, they consult with
top executives regarding strategic planning. They have moved from behind-the-scenes staff work
to leading the company in suggesting and changing policies.
3.2 Specific Tasks
I work at the HR Department of Bangla CAT as an intern from 11th September, 2011. I work
under an Operation executive. My jobs are-

Summary
In Bangla CAT the performance management appraisal plays a vital role for the development of
the company .Superiors of an employee formally appraises the performance once a year.
Performance appraise period is from January 1 to December 31.The basis of an appraisal is the
performance plan, which establishes mutually developed goals & objectives. An employee’s
performance is evaluated on actual results achieved against the performance plans.
Performance appraisal is the process of obtaining, analyzing and recording information about
the relative worth of an employee. The focus of the performance appraisal is measuring and
improving the actual performance of the employee and also the future potential of the employee.
Its aim is to measure what an employee does.
360-degree feedback - The traditional idea of appraisal as simply a manager assessing the
performance of an employee has been overtaken by a more holistic approach incorporating views
from many angles. Multi-level, multi-source appraisal - also known as 360-degree feedback -
consists of assessments made of an individual by subordinates, peers and superiors plus, in some
cases, clients. It also usually requires the person being appraised to do a self-rating.
Goal Setting - involves establishing specific, measurable and time targeted objectives. Work on
the theory of goal-setting suggests that it is an effective tool for making progress by ensuring that
participants are clearly aware of what is expected from them, if an objective is to be achieved.
On a personal level, setting goals is a process that allows people to specify then work towards
their own objectives - most commonly with financial or career-based goals. Goal setting is a
major component of Personal development literature.

5.1 Objectives
5.1.1Objective of studying the organization:
My objective of studying the Bangla CAT is to know about the following things:
18 | P a g e
Performance Management System of BanglaCAT
5.2 Methodology
5.2.1 Information Need
• Primary Data:
For collecting primary data I set 21 questionnaires and took the answers, then analyzed them in
different method.
• Secondary Data:
I also used some secondary data mainly collected from the interviews. For the literature review I
collected data from published books, journals, websites etc.
The research philosophy contains important assumptions about the way in which the researcher
view the world. These assumptions will underpin the research strategy and the methods as part of
the strategy (Saunders, Lewis, and Thornhill 2009, p-108).
I prepared some questions for the informal interviews from which I gathered information
regarding the system and its impact. I made a questionnaire for survey from which the system
19 | P a g e
Performance Management System of BanglaCAT
was evaluated. So my research strategy will be basically Survey which was an informal one
because my questionnaire is changeable one.
As I have combined both the qualitative technique and the quantitative technique, I used the
Multi-method study for collecting my necessary data. Qualitative technique is for the interviews
and the quantitative technique is for survey. The portion of qualitative technique was higher than
the quantitative technique.
As I had to finish my study within a particular set of time I did Cross-sectional study.
Longitudinal studies take a lot of time to complete. As I have time constraint I had to do cross-
sectional study.

5.3 Limitations
For every research activity there is always a time constraint. The estimated time was not
adequate but I had to finish the paper within this time frame. Being an outsider might also limit
what is revealed to me. The website of BanglaCAT is under construction. So it was a major
constraint to collect the relevant web information. As the internship paper is to prepare alone by
the intern him/herself, so I did not get the team advantage. I had to work for the report along with
my other works in the office so sometimes it became difficult to work through it. Some
information is very confidential for the company so I couldn’t get some valuable information
which could add a value to my report due the privacy.
5.4 SWOT Analysis
Every company possesses some variety of strengths, weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats which
represents the positive and negative internal factors of the company. Strengths basically originate
from core competencies. At the same time, opportunities and threats characterize the positive
external options and negative external forces that are associated with the business. SWOT
analysis facilitates environments that can improve the organizations competitive position relative
to that of competitors. It mainly portrays the company’s overall situation. Successful businesses
match the company’s strengths with competitor’s weaknesses and follow strategies accordingly.
Strength (S) -
• Overall evaluation
• Employee gets fair judgments
• In house knowledge
• Experienced & skilled employees
• Strong organization structure.
• Useful performance appraisal techniques.

Performance Management System of Bangla CAT
From the employee viewpoint, the purpose of performance appraisal is four-fold (cash,
1993.quoted from performance appraisal.com):
From the organization's viewpoint, one of the most important reasons for having a system of
performance appraisal is to establish and uphold the principle of accountability. For decades it
has been known to researchers that one of the chief causes of organizational failure is non-
alignment of responsibility and accountability. Non-alignment occurs where employees are given

Performance Management System of Bangla CAT
The most comprehensive and costly type of appraisal is the 360 degree feedback. It gives people
a chance to know how they are seen by others; to see their skills and style; and may improve
communications between people. 360 degree feedback helps by bringing out every aspect of an
employee's life. Collaboration with people outside their department, helpfulness towards
customers and vendors, etc. may not be rewarded by other types of appraisal. This system also
helps those who have conflicts with their manager. 360 degree feedback generally has high
employee involvement and credibility; may have the strongest impact on behavior and
performance; and may greatly increase communication and shared goals. It provides people with
a good all-around perspective. 360 degree feedback may be given directly to the employees, who
have the option of discussing them with their managers; or it may be given to the managers for
use in a feedback meeting. Whichever method is chosen, training for the managers and ratees is
necessary (toolpack.com).
Here is a simple guide for introducing 360 degree appraisals into an organization (and any other
management system for that matter):
• Consider and decide what is needed for the 360 degree system to achieve.
• Choose/design a system (or system provider),
• Need to check the legal and contractual issues for situation - privacy, individual choice,
acceptable practices and rules, training, data protection, individual rights, adoption guide,
etc.
• If satisfied with the system, launch it via a seminar or workshop, preferably including
role-plays and/or practical demonstration.
• Support the implementation with ongoing training,
• Establish review and monitoring responsibility.

6.3 Goal Setting
Goal setting theory is the process of setting the goals planned actions professionally that support
reaching the end results the job is expected to achieve. The organization identifies and
determines progress toward organizational goals. Organization needs a way to measure progress
toward those goals once it has analyzed its mission, identified all its stakeholders, and defined its
goals.
1. Clarity.
2. Challenge.
3. Commitment.
4. Feedback.
5. Task complexity.

Communication:
Timing:
Routinely, In Bangla CAT goals are set in support of the Mid-Year and Year-End Performance
Appraisal. Schedule a departmental meeting to begin the brainstorming process. Inform staff
that they will be active participants in the development and support of departmental goals.
Supervisors and employees meet to discuss, finalize and prioritize departmental goals.
30 | P a g e
Performance Management System of Bangla CAT
Goals should be closely tied to an organization's mission and vision statement. The strategic
goals, tactical goals and objectives, and operational goals and objectives support the mission
statement of the organization.
• STRATEGIC GOALS:
Strategic goals are set at the top of an organization and directly support the mission statement.
Strategic goals are related to the entire organization instead of any one department. There are
eight types of strategic goals found in organizations.
• TACTICAL GOALS:
Tactical goals and objectives are directly related to the strategic goals of the organization. They
indicate the levels of achievement necessary in the departments and divisions of the organization.
Tactical goals and objectives must support the strategic goals of the organization.
• OPERATIONAL GOALS:
Operational goals and objectives are determined at the lowest level of the organization and apply
to specific employees or subdivisions in the organization. They focus on the individual
responsibilities of employees.
• SUPER-ORDINATE GOALS:
Super-ordinate goals are those goals that are important to more than one party. They are often
used to resolve conflict between groups. Through cooperating to achieve the goal, the tension
and animosity between groups is often resolved. Feelings of camaraderie are created along with
trust and friendship. Super-ordinate goals can be powerful motivators for groups to resolve their
differences and cooperate with one another. In order for them to be successful, the parties must
first perceive that there is mutual dependency on one another. The super-ordinate goal must be
desired by everyone. Finally, all parties involved must expect to receive rewards from the
accomplishment of the goal.
31 | P a g e
Performance Management System of Bangla CAT
¾ At times, the organizational goals are in conflict with the managerial goals. Goal conflict
has a detrimental effect on the performance if it motivates incompatible action drift.
¾ Very difficult and complex goals stimulate riskier behavior.
¾ If the employee lacks skills and competencies to perform actions essential for goal, then
the goal-setting can fail and lead to undermining of performance.
¾ There is no proper evidence to prove that goal-setting improves job satisfaction.

Keep it simple: The Company keeps the process and the paperwork as simple as
possible. A basic and standardized evaluation form is prepared for greater uniformity
among reviews. The forms are direct and on point like their function.
Be flexible: BanglaCAT has a system in place to commend and critique any particular or
specific qualities and accomplishments of its staff. It helps the company to learn changes.
Ask for feedback: The Company let the employees play a hand in how the review will
be conducted. It asks them ahead of time to list their strengths, weaknesses, and goals for
the coming year. During the review it can compare notes. This element of the review
allows it to see not only how the employees are meeting the company’s goals and
expectations, but also how their goals and expectations match with the company.
Encourage self-evaluations: BanglaCAT always emphasizes self-evaluations that
encourage the person being evaluated. It offers the employees a chance to review the
quality of their work, to highlight the projects or responsibilities of which they are most
proud, and to reflect on mistakes made and lessons learned.
Set realistic standards: BanglaCAT always try to set realistic standards for its
employees. This tendency creates a work environment in which the employees feel
appreciated for and capable of the work that they do. As a result they become more
committed to the company.
Chart a path: The performance management system is properly administered so that the
performance reviews can motivate employees to improve. These reviews help the
company and the employees clearly identify their worth and value to the business.
Define discussion topics: Important review topics are defined such as the employee's
role in the business, how well he or she performs that role, areas in which he or she needs
to improve etc.
Create a plan: Finally the company and its employees develop a list of clear, action-
oriented steps to be taken following the review. This list details any improvements that
must be made or skills that must be acquired in order to maintain or achieve progress.

Performance Management System of Bangla CAT
Summary of Findings
BanglaCAT is the largest Caterpillar distributer in Bangladesh that uses 360 degree feedback
and Goal setting theory to evaluate its employees. After the survey over the performance
management system of BanglaCAT I found that the employees are positive with the current
system. But a number of employees have a neutral view. On the other hand nobody said that the
system is very good for the organization. So these views can raise questions that whether the
system is proper or not for the employees. The system is useful for the organization. It provides a
way to judge the employees properly. It works as a guideline to improve the employee
performance because after the evaluation results, company identifies the training need for the
employees. In case of the fairness of the system employee have a confused view. More than half
of the people are moderate and a large number is dissatisfied. It indicates that the system may
have some problem with its fairness. It is also identified that the employees are not fair enough to
evaluate each other. So there must be some problem. But the feedbacks from the employees are
analyzed carefully so that the possibility of misjudgments can be removed. As the system
identifies the training needs, the employees think that the system is helpful for the organizational
as well as individual improvement. Though the system is good the employees agreed mostly that
the system can be improved more. Some other method can be used or the contents of the 360
degree and Goal setting can be improved. They think that the improvement will be more
effective for the organization. The system has a positive influence on the company’s overall
goals and objectives. As it is related with the organizational and individual improvement so it
persuades the organizational goals. It also assists the company to think about its succession
planning. The current system is a helpful process to maintain the employee attitude and behavior
that is supportive for the organization. It increases the involvement and commitment of the
employees. It helps to create a better career path for the employees because it identifies the need
for recognition. The current system is helpful to make stronger the psychological contract of the
employee and employer. The system is cooperative for the organization’s overall change
management.

Performance Management System of Bangla CAT
Recommendations
First of all, the company should have a proper job description for the employees. Job description
has a huge impact on the effectiveness of a performance management system. So BanglaCAT
should have the job description for the employees that will help to establish performance
standards and expectations effectively.
As the analysis shows that employees have confusion about the fairness of the system it should
be revised and reviewed so that the employees have no uncertainty about the process.
Sometimes the employees do not rate the other employees fairly or properly. Sometimes they do
not complete the evaluation seriously. So the system should be scrutinized well so that the
employees rate each other properly. As a result possibility of misjudgments can be removed
easily.
During the survey it is found that the employees are really concerned about the performance
management system of BanglaCAT. If the authority of the performance management of
BanglaCAT listen and ask for the employees’ opinion continuously and understand their point
of view the system can be a great example for corporate practice. Because working together is
better than being at odds.
Instead of only judging the performance of the employees, the performance management system
should search for more ways to make that contribution as valuable as possible by increasing the
involvement and commitment of the employees, providing more monetary and non-monetary
recognition, empowering their responsibilities etc.
Now a day the competition is beyond the limit. Competitors are always ready for setting up and
taking notice. So implementing some changes in the system may create a positive influence to
the organization. Performance management process is not an annual event. The system will be
more effective if it provides the feedbacks to employees throughout the year.

Conclusion
The best practice begins with respect for one another and ends with excellence in performance.
It is the responsibility of every supervisor to maintain a continuous communication with their
employees. These conversations should provide clear and honest role expectations and feedback
and should help identify improvement, development, and career issues. Each employee has a
responsibility to participate fully in these conversations but it needs to be ensured that the
employees have their job descriptions and they understand their role responsibilities and
expectations, and communicate any obstacles or training needed in order to perform their role at
an optimum level.
It is no secret that companies with effective performance management systems are able to recruit
and retain higher quality employees, experience increased shareholder value and consistently
have better financial results than organizations that do not have constructive programs.
BanglaCAT is one of those companies that have a constructive and structured way of appraising
the employee contribution. Though it needs to be improved more but still the system is very
beneficial for the organization and the authority is trying continuously to make it more effective
and constructive.
