Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The company uses forced distribution method to evaluate the performance of its employees. This technique requires the managers to distribute the employees into a predetermined distribution curve, where one employee is rated "below expectations," a few employees are rated "average," and most of the employees are rated "good" or "exceptional." This approach helps ensure that performance ratings are more objective and not merely a reflection of the manager's personal biases.
