Infosys is renewing its appraisal system too, will reward employees with 'iCount'

Under Vishal Sikka’s ‘new and renew’ strategy, Infosys is doing away with bell curve appraisal system and is bringing ‘iCount’ in place.

Under iCount, employees will be rewarded on specific short term targets and will be given feedbacks throughout the year.

Infosys employees will also be rewarded on the basis of how well they perform on specific short-term but important targets during the year.

"Infosys has changed the way performance management is done, with higher focus on individual performance rather than relative performance.
We have moved away from forced ranking curve and given our managers more flexibility and empowerment, while still retaining focus on maintaining a high performance culture," nfosys spokeswoman told ET.

Infosys had last year scrapped the bell curve method for its 1,93,000 employees to follow a more open ranking system.

Recently, IBM adopted the Checkpoint appraisal system.
