Hi all,
What do you think of the 9-box matrix as tool to assess staff performance?
Do you happen to know of any companies that are using it?
I know that GE is adopting this tool. Any others?
Thank you so much!

Sometimes I wonder why some of us, who can post messages at CiteHR, fail to search using the reSearch facility, or the web for general information. For example, I am no HR expert, and this query triggered my interest. I did a web search and found a link to https://www.citehr.com/129656-9-box-matrix.html at CiteHR posted in 2008. In that M. Peer Mohamed Sardhar has given a succinct explanation.

The web search for 9-box matrix led me to

Google

And there are links to images for different types of 9-box matrices.

Hence, like aussiejohn at CiteHR keeps appealing, PLEASE SEARCH FIRST before posing a query.

Have a nice day.

nashbramhall: for your information, I am fully aware of the link you highlighted above.
I have conducted research not just here in CiteHR but also in Google.
Hence, that is why I posted my question here. There may be others out there who can direct me to other sources which can assist me.
So, yes I have done my homework, but I need more help. Anyone else out there who can be more helpful and can assist me? Thank you.

As I can't send a Private Message, I am responding to the comments here.
It always helps to give background information about what we have done and what other clarifications are we seeking. When we do that we save a lot of time for others as well as ourselves.
It also helps if we tell people who we are and why we are seeking the information.

Hello washraf,
I fully agree with Simhan.

If you had already done your homework--like you mentioned--it would have helped Simhan & others who responded to save THEIR time in trying to help you, IF ONLY YOU HAD MENTIONED what you did & what MORE/DIFFERENT INPUTS you want from the members of this Forum. After all, Time is Time, whether it's YOUR'S OR SOMEONE ELSE'S. I don't think it's fair to only focusing on saving one's time & remain absolutely unconcerned about others' time. I do hope you agree on this aspect of human relationships.

Your initial query--just by reading it without attributing any implication/conclusion--only gives one the impression that you are requesting for basic info.

Next, had you mentioned your job role/function, the members who answered would have got an idea as to the context in which you asked the query. Since you have gone thru the material earlier, I am sure you would agree that this topic can be viewed from different angles [as can be most inputs]--meaning, if you are a HR person your focus WOULD be on a few aspects of this tool & if your role/function is techno-managerial, your focus would be totally on DIFFERENT aspects of the Tool. Hope you get the point.

The next point is your query reg which companies are implementing this tool. Nothing wrong per se in this, except that if you had mentioned the reasons why you wanted this input AND your present Company sector/domain, it COULD have enabled others to guide you more accurately from that perspective. The example/model you mentioned about GE could be wide off-the-mark from the implementation aspect, if your company is (1) smaller & (2) less diversified [remember GE is the Global equivalent of Tata Group which has a finger into everything under the sun].

Hi tajsateesh. Thank you for the inputs. Guess I should have learned your protocols here. Never knew it was this hard. It was basically a simple question. If you dont have answers then fair enough.
I was perusing through all sorts of forums on this and found citeHR. Thought it would be a good platform to share ideas and seek help.
Maybe the initial response from your friend Simhan should be a little friendlier, welcoming, and polite to newbies like me who are not used to your forums. Same goes to you.
Well thanks anyway for all your advise and help.

Dear washraf

Welcome to CiteHR.com !!!

I can understand your anxiety and the need for information from the fact that you posted your query just after registering yourself as member.

Although my sympathies go with you, I can't help but agree with what nashbramhall and ajsateesh has suggested. We, at CiteHr receive queries from veteran HR professionals as well as novices and students.

The response to a simple question can differ, depending on the nature of complexity and depth of responses sought, based on the information given.

For example; I can answer your question, (while considering it as that coming from a fresher) and I think you won't derive any satisfaction out of it.

What do you think of the 9-box matrix as tool to assess staff performance?: It is not a popular tool for performance assessment.

Do you happen to know of any companies that are using it?

I know that GE is adopting this tool. Any others?
: No. In fact, very few companies indulge in potential appraisals beyond their own system of appraisal, generally based on statistical distribution system.

I leave this for other experienced members to respond appropriately. However, I hope you"ll agree that giving more information always elicit qualitatively better and appropriate responses. Do feel free to interact with other members.

Warm regards.

Dear all,
The points raised by TS and Raj Kumar Hansdah reminds me of an episode narrated to me when I was a student. An interviewer was in the habit of asking questions to test candidates and then find loopholes in their responses. An interviewee was asked "Can you explain Newton' Second law of Motion". I cannot remember what the interview was for.
It seems the interviewee responded "Please sir, can you tell me at what academic level do you want the answer: high school level, college level, Masters level or doctoral level. Any reply I give without knowing that would not be right at a different level."
In the same way any answer we provide may not be right without knowing the why the question was asked.
Have a nice day.
