TCS appraises employees based on performances and feedback, scraps bell curve method

TCS has moved away from the popular bell curve method for appraisals and will now assess performances based on a system of continuous feedback.
Under the bell curve method, people were given ratings and then segregated into top, medium and poor performers.
"This year we did not do any forced rankings or curve fitting. We appraised people based only on their performance. We are now looking at tools to ensure that the feedback process is more continuous, rather than at defined intervals,"TCS chief executive N Chandrasekaran told ET.
TCS is new to join the bandwagon as Accenture, IBM and Infosys have already abandoned the bell curve method.
Chandrasekaran said the IT firm wanted to create more digital, collaborative tools for continuous feedback process.
Meanwhile, TCS employees are happy with scrapping of bell curve.
“Many employees used to be quite unhappy with bell curve as many people manipulated things and compromises were made to fit the ratings. Now everything is fine,” said a TCS employee on the condition of anonymity.
