What is the use of Bell Curve in Profit.co ?

Category: Performance

Profit.co provides an option to review the employee's performance based on the bell curve. 

Note: Only Super Users can view the Bell Curve in the Review Dashboard.

Why this feature?

  • The Bell Curve approach is applied in performance appraisals as a way of distinguishing elite performers from average performers, and further, segregating below-par employees from the overall average. 
  • While calculating the individual Performance Score, Bell Curve helps the HR team to review the employee performance with different curves.

Step 1:

Navigate to Settings→ Performance → Dashboard from the left navigation panel and select the Bell Curve tab.

Step 2:

In the Create Template page, Enable the toggle for Distribution.

There will be default distributions with percentages and the Overall Percentage and Bell Curve Distribution.

You can create a new one or edit the existing Distribution.

You can create a new Calibration Group. The employees in this group can access and modify the performance review scores.

Step 3:

After setting all navigate to Performance → HR Administration and select the Review.

Step 4:

Once the review process is completed, select Launch Calibration.

Click on the Bell Curve to view the data, additionally, you can even Export the data in CSV format.

Note: You can now choose from high to low or low to high based on your needs using the sort option. 

Also, you can view the bell curve for the specific performance review under the Dashboards menu by navigating to Performance → Dashboard, selecting Reviews, and clicking on the Bell Curve tab. 

In the Bell Curve, there are three different scores,

  • Targeted Distribution - It will show the architecture defined in the bell curve configuration
  • Overall Score - It will show the actual score provided by the Manager’s/Secondary reviewer’s
  • Calibrated Score - It will show the normalized score by the calibration group members (Employees). This score will be displayed once the calibration process completes.
