<\/a> Tell your HR department not to evaluate employees by ranking them:<\/strong> The forced distribution model (FDM) first became infamous thanks to General Electric in the 1980s, when the late Jack Welch gained infamy for firing the lowest-performing 10% of employees each year, according to Success Dart<\/a>. Welch \u2014 who was chairman and CEO of General Electric for two decades \u2014 used FDM to rank employees based on predetermined parameters quantifying their performance over a period of time. This model grew into a standard appraisal system in many companies worldwide, but its efficacy has been called into question over the past few years.<\/p>\n

Why is FDM causing problems?<\/strong> The model can often prove disastrous for a company\u2019s culture or morale, writes Sarah O\u2019Connor in the Financial Times<\/a>. One of the model\u2019s greatest flaws, she argues, is that it conflates an employee\u2019s absolute performance with their relative performance against their peers. While an employee in a strong team might be meeting all their objectives, they might still be labeled as being an underperformer, especially if they\u2019re a newcomer who\u2019s learning the ropes. Managers also struggle to equitably rank employees playing very different roles in the company structure.<\/p>\n

Using FDM for evaluation translated into years of what many employees complained is a toxic work culture<\/strong> at some companies including Microsoft, with good performers avoiding working together for fear of suffering in the rankings and all employees quietly sabotaging their colleagues, according to Vanity Fair<\/a>. These practices transformed a lean competitive firm led by young visionaries of unparalleled talent into a bureaucracy-laden firm, with an internal culture that unintentionally rewards managers who strangle innovative ideas that might threaten the established order of things.<\/p>\n

Governments are also shifting away from this ranking system: <\/strong>The UK looked into FDM for civil servants and found that \u201ca lot of the people in the bottom 10% were not underperforming,\u201d a researcher at the Institute of Government think-tank told the FT. Since then, the UK\u2019s senior civil service scrapped forced distribution in 2019, following Microsoft\u2019s 2013 lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
