Finally, HCL Technologies is doing away with bell curve appraisal system and shifting towards feedback-based one.

Bell curve appraisal system force fit employees into performance categories and segregates all employees into distinct baskets- top, average and bottom performers-with the vast majority being treated as average performers.

Now, HCL is adopting feedback-based performance appraisal system in several departments.

"Though it has become fashionable for organisations to keep introducing changes, it is rather difficult to actually change the entire culture of the organisation. We at HCL are trying to get more feedback and dialogue into place. Some teams are ready and some are not," said Prithvi Shergill, chief human resources officer (CHRO) at HCL Technologies.

Companies like Infosys, Accenture, Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Cisco and KPMG have already discarding the bell curve system.

HR consultants say a lot of companies want team leaders to be made accountable for ratings as with a bell curve system, the managers always had an excuse when employees questioned their ratings.
