Evolving Performance Management: Infosys Ahead of The Bell Curve
Evolving Performance Management: Infosys Ahead of The Bell Curve
Infosys' move to discontinue the bell curve tool was one of CEO Vishal Sikka's
initiatives to reduce attrition levels and improve employee productivity. After
taking charge as the chief of Infosys in August 2014, Sikka brought many
changes for 'Infoscions,' including doing away with the formal dress code. The
new system will reward the company's employees based on their performance
in short-term, taking into account annual targets set for them.
"The underlying message is that every Infoscion counts and contributes...It
allows for continuous feedback from peer, manager, stakeholder. This is much
better than the earlier point in time feedback," the company spokeswoman
told the daily.
