What this template includes

  • KRA list aligned with the job description
  • Weightage for each KRA totalling 100%
  • Success criteria describing what "meets" looks like
  • Evidence of achievement column
  • Self and manager ratings side by side
  • Weighted KRA score and comments on next year’s KRAs

When to use it

  • Annual appraisal in companies that set KRAs at the start of the year
  • Roles with a mix of measurable and qualitative outcomes
  • Linking performance to job descriptions
  • Reviewing whether KRAs need to change for next year

How to customise this template

  1. 1Take KRAs from the job description and the goal-setting form
  2. 2Write success criteria for qualitative KRAs (e.g. "zero repeat audit findings")
  3. 3Give heavier weightage to KRAs that drive business results
  4. 4Add a reviewer rating column for two-level evaluation

HR tips

  • Limit to five to seven KRAs so each one matters
  • Discuss any big gap between self and manager ratings openly
  • Record evidence during the year, not only at review time
  • Revisit KRAs when the role changes mid-year
