"Forced Ranking system for employee appraisal has been around for quite some time now. But, sensing the problems it brings into the organization, companies are now trying to move away from it and bring in an absolute ranking system. First, let us see some of the reasons why forced ranking was made famous decades ago by former GE CEO Jack Welch. In this system, the performance of employees is assumed to follow a bell curve. Hence, about 10% are ranked the best or \u2018above expectations\u2019 as managers call it, the bottom 10% are the poor performers or \u2018below expectations\u2019 and the middle 80% are the average performers or \u2018meet the expectations\u2019 category. Although the percentage allotment may vary from company to company, the ratio roughly remains the same."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
