Section 1: Performance Nxt Q4
SELF REVIEW:
1. When do I set my Goals and Objectives for 2017-18?
The Goals and Objective if already set in the G&O setting stage or in previous quarters, will
automatically be carried forward to the current quarter. If you have missed setting Goals and
Objectives for the year, you can do so in the current quarter (Performance Nxt Q4).
2. Where can I refer to the standard G&O templates for my role?
You can refer to the standard G&O templates that are available in myCareer homepage. These
templates are available for certain roles. Based on your role, you can customize further after
having a discussion with your manager.
3. I have submitted the objectives/Self- Review but it is still showing pending with me. Why is that?
It is possible that you have entered your objectives/Self- Review and saved it without pressing the
‘submit’ button. It is also possible that your manager has reverted the Self- Review to you for
adding additional information– in that case, please provide the details as requested and submit
the review form again.
4. The Self- Review page is giving an error when I’m trying to do my review. What do I do?
During the last dates of each review stage, it is likely that multiple users access the application. In
case there is a continuous error in the system, you can raise a helpline ticket
(https://helpline.wipro.com) under Application Management category on the same. Please
complete the appraisal review well in advance to avoid such issues.
5. I don’t see a comments box for me to write Self- Review against each G&O. Is there is problem?
There is only an overall comments box at the bottom of the form in which you need to mention
your self – review comments on your overall contribution in the particular quarter.
6. What will happen if I get confirmed this quarter? Will I have two reviews running in parallel?
No, if the confirmatory is triggered in Q4, your Performance Nxt Review form will automatically
be converted to your confirmatory form and there will not be two appraisal processes running in
parallel.

Sensitivity: Internal & Restricted
7. What will happen if I miss filling my self- review and the deadline has passed?
In case you do not complete the Self- Review as per published timelines, this will lead to excluding
you from processes like Merit Salary Increase and Promotions. For C1 and above employees, this
would also result in 0% payout on the Manager Evaluation component of Variable Pay, further
details of which are available in Variable Pay Policy 2017-18 which is uploaded on the below path:
myWipro -> myPolicies -> Common policies across countries Variable Pay 2017-18
ELIGIBILITY:
8. What is the eligibility criteria for the Performance Nxt Q4 review?
GOALS & OBJECTIVES:
9. How can I edit my objectives/measurement criteria while I’m doing my Self- Review?
You can add or delete objectives as appropriate during the self – review stage. The same once
submitted, will be sent to your L1 manager for review and approval, along with your Self- Review
form.
10. I have changed my role during the last quarter. Accordingly, my Goals & Objectives have also
changed. Does this mean I can go in myWipro and change my G&Os?
You can set your G&Os as per the role(s) you have played in that particular quarter, during the
self- review stage of quarterly review process for that quarter.
11. Will I be able to view my past years’/ quarter’s review forms?
Yes, your review forms will be archived and available for your reference in the myCareer portal.

Sensitivity: Internal & Restricted
12. Will there be a KCA section in the quarterly review process?
KCA is applicable only for employees falling under Annual review or Confirmatory Review of
Campus Hires.
13. What do you mean by a Self- Development Objective?
A Self- Development Objective is an objective you can add in the Self- Review Stage.
It helps in driving development focus discussions between your manager and you. You can create
learning goals from the feedback captured by your manager.
14. What if I do not want to add a Self-Development objective in my G&Os?
This is a non- mandatory objective. You have the option of not adding it in your overall G&Os. In
case you take no action on the objective, this objective will not be visible to your manager while
doing the Additional/ L1 Review.
15. How will my manager rate me if I do not add a Self-Development objective?
No ratings are applicable for Self- Development objectives. In case you take no action on the
objective, this objective will not be visible to your manager while doing the Additional/ L1 Review.
16. I have logged into the Performance Nxt portal to fill my Self- Review but I cannot see the Self-
Development objective. How will this objective appear in my G&O Form?
- If you are a new Joinee: It will appear automatically after the 1st G&O is entered.
- If you are an existing employee: It will appear automatically in the auto- populated G&O form.
17. How can I edit the Self- Development objective?
To add Learning Areas to this objective, click on “Add Learning Areas” in the form. There will be
pre- populated data from the Performance Nxt Annual 2016 and KCA/ WLQ forms of 2016. You
can add Learning Areas using the pre- populated data for reference by clicking on “Add to List”.
Once you have completed the above list, click on “Add to Objective” to go back to the Self-
Review page. The learning areas you have selected for yourself will then appear in the Self-
Development Objectives section.
18. How many Learning Areas can I add for myself?
While there is no upper limit, we would recommend that you prioritize 2-3 Learning Areas so
that you can focus on achieving them in the next few quarters.
19. What is the time- period for achieving the Learning Areas in Self-Development Objective?
Ideally, the Self- Development Objective should be completed in the same financial year as it is
set in. However, in case you are unable to complete certain Learning Areas, you can carry
forward the same to the next year.

REVIEW WORKFLOW:
20. What is the logic of workflow mapping for Performance Nxt Q4 and Annual?
The workflow logic is given below. There is no L2 mapping in the process flow.
Employee type L1 manager
Tagged to Project Project manager
Tagged as Support Primary manager
In free pool / NB tagged Primary manager
Cut-off date based on which workflow has been derived is March 1, 2018. For all the employees working in a
project, project manager as L1 manager would be mapped except for below groups where primary manager
will be mapped as L1:
• Architects – C1 & above
• Domain employees
• Consulting & Digital BU
Workflow Logic – BPS Employees
BPS Group HR team will work with respective HR teams to derive the workflow.
21. How can I make corrections to the workflow?
In case you have not worked with the mapped L1 manager for sufficient duration of time, change
request can be raised in the Performance Nxt portal and be approved by current L1 and proposed L1
manager. L1 change is automated for the Performance Nxt Q4 Self Review stage.
o Login to My Wipro > My Career > Appraisal. Click on the Pencil Icon (In Orange Color) next to the
name of the L1 Manager workflow details.
o The same will go for an approval by the current and proposed L1 Manager in MyWipro -> My
Career app -> Appraisal -> My Task List->Pending manger Task -> Reviews pending with you.
o Post approval, the change will reflect in the tool. There is a 2- day window for each manager
(current and proposed manager) to take action on the request, otherwise the system will auto
approve the request.
The above option is not enabled for BPS. BPS employees need to reach out to their respective HRs for
workflow correction.
22. I have moved to a new project with a new manager. Who will do my review?
6
Sensitivity: Internal & Restricted
Your manager mapped in the SAP as of March 1, 2018 will reflect as your L1 manager. If you have
recently moved to a new project, you can tag the other manager(s) with whom you have worked
for significant portion of the quarter as Additional Manager.
23. What happens if my manager resigns? Who appraises me?
If your manager leaves the organization without completing your L1 review, you can initiate a
workflow change request to your current manager using the process explained in Q14.
24. I have been transferred from one entity to the other (E.g. IME to BPS etc.). Who will do my
review?
You will be appraised by the entity you were a part of in Q4 of FY 2017-18. You can add your
previous managers as additional managers.
25. Who is an additional manager?
An additional manager is a reporting manager (from any function / BU / practice etc.) with whom
you would have worked for a reasonable duration in the previous quarter, and who is therefore in
a position to assess your performance. You may add additional managers during the self- review
stage.
26. Why do I see an additional manager mapped for me when I login to mycareer?
For all employees who had added Additional Managers in the previous quarter, these managers
have been retained as Additional Managers and carried forward to the Q4 Performance Nxt form.
You can either retain/ remove/ edit these from your forms.
For all the Model C employees, Primary manager is added as their additional manager to share
their feedback on the employee performance for the quarter.
REVIEW STATUS:
27. When can I view my review?
If you are a part of the Performance Nxt Q4 review, you will be able to view your review comments
after completing the discussion feedback.
28. I am not clear on the status of my review. How can I get to know the status?
You can check the status of review by visiting My Career My Appraisal section. The home screen
will show where the review is pending.
29. I have done my self- review but my L1 manager is unable to submit his comments and ratings.
What should I do?
The possible reasons for above can be any one of the below:
7
Sensitivity: Internal & Restricted
o If you have added an additional manager, then the L1 won’t be able to override the
additional manager during the Additional manager review stage unless he/she has
completed the feedback.
o Once the additional manager is added, there is a three-day lock, during which the L1
cannot submit the feedback for the employee.
30. As an additional manager, will I be able to see the Review form post the submission of my
feedback?
Yes, you will have a view of the employee review form even after the L1 manager has submitted
his/ her feedback.
31. As an L1 manager, what data is available to me after I submit my feedback?
An L1 Manager Dashboard will be made available to all L1 managers that would capture the
responses the team members have given on the 3 questions asked to them on the quality of
discussions taken place between them & their L1 managers. Along with this, another dashboard
will be made available that would state the Variable Pay – Manager Evaluation trends the L1
Manager has given.
32. As an L1 manager, what are the next steps in the appraisal process and what are the actions
pending with me post the submission of the review?
After you have finished reviewing your team member’s appraisal form, the form will go to your
team member to capture his/ her discussion feedback. There is no other action pending with you
after submission of the form unless the team member selects that no discussion had taken place
between you and him/ her. If your team member selects no in the discussion feedback stage, the
team members’ form will come back to you and you will have to discuss with him/ her on why
this option was selected.
DISCUSSION FEEDBACK STAGE
33. What is the Discussion Feedback stage?
After L1 submits review, the employee will be sent a trigger to confirm if discussion has taken
place or not. If employee confirms that discussion took place, she/he would be asked to respond
to 3 questions around the quality of discussion, following which the review form will be released
to the employee.
34. I have received a mail asking me to confirm if discussion took place. Can I view the comments
at this stage?
Your review will be visible to you after you confirm on the status of the discussion and quality of
the same, as applicable.
8
Sensitivity: Internal & Restricted
35. What happens if I select NO in case my manager has not reached out to me for Discussion on
my Q4 performance?
Your appraisal form would go back to L1 Manager review stage. Your L1 manager will be sent a
reminder to complete the discussion with you. Your manager’s manager and HR manager would
be copied in this mail.
36. My manager reached out to me for a discussion. However, I am not satisfied with the quality
discussion or not in agreement with the feedback received. Should I select NO during the
Discussion Feedback stage?
No, you would be required to select YES if discussion has taken place. You can take the following
steps for the 2 scenarios mentioned:
1. Not satisfied with the quality of discussion – You can provide relevant feedback in the
discussion feedback survey which will follow after you select YES to confirm that discussion
has taken place
2. Not in agreement with the feedback received – Please reach out to your manager separately
to discuss the areas you are not in agreement with.
G&O WISE RATINGS:
37. Can my G&O wise review rating be changed after my review is closed?
A change in the G&O wise rating is not encouraged after the review has been released to the
employee.
38. My review is closed and the G&O wise ratings given by my Additional Manager and L1
Manager don’t match. What should I do if I don’t agree with the G&O wise rating given by my
L1 Manager?
The L1 Manager’s rating supersedes the Additional Manager’s rating. The L1 Manager is required
to discuss the G&O wise rating with the Additional Manager and take detailed inputs. If required,
your manager’s manager can intervene and help you in understanding the feedback.
PERFORMANCE NXT DISCUSSION:
39. Is the Discussion a mandatory part of the quarterly review process?
Yes, your feedback discussion with your manager is a mandatory and very important part of the
quarterly review process. During the discussion, your manager will give you verbal feedback on
your performance in the last quarter, and the way forward. During this discussion, you and your
manager can jointly create the Individual Development Plan. You can also discuss your career
aspirations with your manager, and take his/her advice on the same. So, do ensure that you and
your manager set aside enough time for the career discussion.
