| dc.description.abstract | Performance appraisals, if done correctly, are an effective way for management to provide feedback to their employees on their job performance. Performance appraisals were developed to assist management with coaching and counseling for their employees and to eliminate the low performers. There are various forms for evaluating performance evaluations. One particular method that will be discussed in great detail is a method known as Forced Distribution. “Forced distribution requires that a predetermined percentage of employees be rated at various levels of performance.” (Heneman, 1992) The key points and findings that will be discussed in this paper are the following: (1) forced distribution challenges inadequacy and comparability, (2) forced distribution challenges fairness, and (3) forced distribution challenges relevance. The author will demonstrate how an alternative method to performance appraisal can be implemented without negatively effecting employees through extensive research and case studies that will be discussed in this field project. | |
