Forced ranking and performance management

Forced Ranking is a system of performance management where managers must identify a pre-determined proportion of its best and worst performers, regardless of how well or badly they are actually performing.

Forced ranking is often used to reward “top” performers with bonuses and development opportunities while firing the “worst” performers each year, or at least “managing them out of the business” or encouraging them to leave.
