Performance Appraisal
Performance Appraisal is the systematic evaluation of the performance of employees and to
understand the abilities of a person for further growth and development. Performance appraisal is
generally done in systematic ways which are as follows:
The supervisors measure the pay of employees and compare it with targets and plans.
The supervisor analyses the factors behind work performances of employees.
The employers are in position to guide the employees for a better performance

A bell curve ranks employees in three categoriespoor, average and top performers. It pegs the
ratings and rewards given to one employee to how others fared, rather than assessing the person
purely on just individual performance
According to an employee after securing poor performer in bell curve-I had worked in the
company for more than seven years and there was no mention of poor performance in my
appraisal report. Despite that they asked me to leave the company
This is not a problem just in a company or in one sector, but across
industry. According to HR experts, the Bell Curve was initially established by General Motors in
the US for accessing customer satisfaction, but later on assumed as a tool to access employee
performance. The big advocate of the system for employee assessment was General Electric
(GE) and the US major had intensely advocated it under the leadership of then CEO Jack Welch.
The Bell Curve method is seen as one with a rigid framework that forces a manager to slot at
least some in his team as poor performers. While they may not been shown the door
immediately, there is always that threat hanging over their heads.
These all factors increase emotional stress in employees.
than supervisors do, and letting employees review one another is a great way for management to
share in that knowledge,
Some people get frustrated by a work environment that feels competitive, preferring
to do their job and be evaluated against clear goalsnot against an ever-changing environment
and internal competition.
Organizational goals can get lost in the fray. If employees focus more on beating the
competition within the organization than on actually achieving the organizations goals, this
could mean they are being less productive overall in moving the company or project forward.
When an individual doesnt win the competition, that can be a de-motivator from
there on out, thus reducing future productivity after the first contest ends. In other words, it
can create an if you cant win, why to bother trying? mindset.
Morale can decrease. If competition is tied to the possibility of being fired (e.g., the
lowest performer or lowest 10 percent of performers are let go), it has the potential to
negatively affect morale. Furthermore, the organization will eventually be firing great
employees simply because of a ranking system.

experience,
