Updated:

11/12/24

Forced ranking is a performance evaluation method where employees are grouped and rated against each other, typically resulting in a distribution curve that categorizes them into performance tiers. This approach encourages competition among employees and aims to identify top performers while addressing underperformers. However, it can also have disadvantages, such as harming morale and discouraging teamwork.
