Hi,
Please clarify what exactly you want to do. You cannot start a bell curve performance appraisal since nothing exists by that name. You can have different formats and methods of evaluation and rating. When you summarize the performance ratings of all the employees for a particular appraisal period, it is expected that the ratings, when plotted on a graph, form a bell curve shape (provided your ratings are done with the least bias and your appraisers are well informed about the process). That means at both ends of the bell curve, you will have certain groups of ratings and the majority in the bulged part or the peak point of the curve.

Hi Srinivas,
I think what you are referring to is a forced ranking system of appraisal. Typically, as per this mechanism, you would get a bell-shaped distribution as follows:
15% - Top performers
20% - Average Top
30% - Average
20% - Average Low
15% - Low performers
Or there could be other distributions as well similar to the one above. For this to work, you would have to consolidate performance across all dimensions into a single rating value to obtain one curve for the entire workforce. As always, the appraisal process should be unbiased, with fair comparisons across work groups and teams.

Distribution suggested by Mr Joshua may be linked to the Company’s performance ratings (5 levels) and the %age may also vary wrt to company’s performance ratings.

Hi Dayanand, What is rational behind using Bell curve only, do we have any other mechanism which can be opted to PMS. Regards Pulkit
