improving performance through continuous and ongoing feedback and guidance from
reporting officer. It addresses the growth and career development of employees through
identification of strengths and weaknesses of employees, which leads to better utilization
and development of talents. Performance management system also serves the purpose of
developing better superior-subordinate relationship based on trust and mutuality. The most

vertical and horizontal integration is well addressed. Vertical integration is achieved by
aligning individual and team objectives with business strategy. Whereas horizontal
integration is achieved by aligning performance management strategies with other HRD

and critical job.
Hesitating attitude and lack of support from the executives of HRD wing of OHPC.
