As you are kindly aware, the ICAI has engaged M/s Mercer for an HR Transformation Project spanning across various areas of HR such as HR Systems Diagnostic, Performance Management Diagnostic and Redesign, Compensation and Benefits analysis etc. As a part of the project initiative, M/s Mercer has studied the existing Appraisal system (Performance Management System) at ICAI through meetings with various employees, focused group discussions at various locations and study of existing data and documents.

M/s Mercer has formulated a revised Performance Management System for ICAI based on this study and the same is subject to discussions (also incorporating inputs from industry practices and benchmarks).
