Bell Curve in Performance Appraisal: Benefits & Implementation
Ever thought about how companies evaluate employee performance? One widely used method is the Bell Curve in performance appraisal. This approach ranks employees by dividing them into three categories: high performers, average performers, and low performers. The rankings are displayed on a bell-shaped graph, which reflects the typical performance distribution within a workforce. Most employees are placed in the middle (average performers), while fewer occupy the extremes as either top or low performers.
