Recommendation:
360 degree appraisal system should be implemented wherein the feedback is taken from team-
mates, sub-ordinates and the manager. This ensures that there is no bias in the feedback.
Create a platform where the employees can willingly contribute to the challenging projects apart
from the ongoing project. This will ensure that the employees can exhibit their creativity and
abilities. Also will lead to the utilization of the employees on bench. This will help the HR
identify the right talent for the future projects.
