The Challenge: No Way to Measure Performance
Hema Dye Chem had no formal performance review system. Targets were not defined role by role, production and quality data came in ad hoc, and appraisals depended on opinion rather than data.
Without measurement, problems stayed open, preventive maintenance was irregular and departments worked in silos. Management wanted a system where every employee knew what they were accountable for, and where performance was reviewed every month.
The GreenDot Approach: A PMS Built Into Daily Work
GreenDot designed and implemented the performance management system with every department — Production, QC, Stores, Maintenance and support functions — so it became part of how the plant runs, not a once-a-year form.
- KRA and KPI design for every role. Each role received clear result areas and measurable KPIs, covering 100% of employees across all departments.
- Monthly performance measurement. Every employee is now measured monthly, replacing a situation with no formal review at all.
- Structured monthly review meetings. Department reviews track KPI compliance, deviations and corrective actions, with owners and closure dates.
- Cross-functional KPIs. Shared KPIs link Stores, QC, Production and Maintenance, so departments are measured on how well they work together.
- Self-evaluation and data-driven appraisal. Employees take part in self-evaluation, and appraisals are now calculated from monthly PMS data instead of subjective judgement.

| Area | Before GreenDot | After GreenDot |
|---|---|---|
| Performance review | No formal review system | Monthly measurement for all employees |
| KPI and KRA coverage | Not defined | 100% of employees, all departments |
| Performance accountability score | 17.95% (May 2025) | 55.61% (Dec 2025) |
| Company efficiency | 13.47% | 38.24% |
| Deviation and problem closure | No action tracking | Closure rate improved by 50% |

Fixing the cause, not the symptom. The root problem was not employee effort. It was the absence of clear targets and regular measurement. Once every role had defined KPIs and a monthly review, problems were tracked to closure, maintenance became planned, and departments began coordinating on shared goals.
A Culture of Ownership
The biggest change was in mindset. Employees now understand what they are accountable for and take part in evaluating their own performance. Monthly reviews created seriousness and discipline across departments, and cross-functional KPIs improved coordination between Stores, QC, Production and Maintenance.
The journey is not complete — but the month-on-month rise in scores shows the system is working and becoming part of the company’s routine.
Why It Worked: GreenDot's Implementation-First Model
- Built with every department. KPIs were designed with the people who own them, not handed down as templates.
- Measured every month, not every year. Monthly reviews turned performance management into a habit.
- Linked to real operations. KPIs cover production, quality, maintenance, stores and training, so the PMS improves results, not just paperwork.
- Data-driven appraisals. Performance data now drives appraisal decisions, which makes the system fair and trusted.
This is the same practical, data-driven approach GreenDot has used with 1,200+ companies since 1999, delivered by a 40-member team across Gujarat and Maharashtra.
