Indian Navy Introduces "360 Degree Appraisal Mechanism"
- 11 Oct 2023
Recently, the Indian Navy has unveiled a "360 degree appraisal mechanism" for promotion boards, designed to modernize the assessment process and overcome the limitations of the existing "top-down" approach.
The Navy considers its personnel a vital part of its "Ship First" strategy and recognizes the need for a more comprehensive evaluation system.
Key Points
- Transformative Initiative: The Indian Navy has introduced a novel "360 degree appraisal mechanism" to enhance the evaluation of officers during promotion boards.
- This mechanism aims to establish a more agile and adaptive human resource management framework within the Navy.
- Challenges with Existing System: The current appraisal system relies on periodic confidential reports from senior officers and operates under a "top-down" approach.
- It lacks the ability to quantify a leader's impact on their subordinates, which the new mechanism seeks to address.
- Comprehensive Assessment: The new appraisal mechanism includes large-scale surveys conducted among suitably identified peers and subordinates for each officer under consideration for promotion.
- These surveys cover a wide range of questions, evaluating aspects such as professional knowledge, leadership qualities, suitability in times of war or crisis, and the potential for higher ranks.
- Feedback and Improvement: The survey results will be quantified for independent analysis by a designated Board of Officers, led by a Flag Officer.
- The feedback obtained will be shared with the officers, enabling them to make behavioural changes and improvements based on the assessment.
