Forced Ranking -- the Right Way 05-15-01
- By Julie Crane, California Attorney at Law
Many companies recently have adopted ranking systems to identify non-performers. The rankings are used to achieve continuous improvement at a time when companies are striving to remain competitive. Rankings also are used in layoffs.
In general, ranking systems are perfectly legal. Their purpose is to be fair to employees. As GE Chairman of the Board John Welch explained in a letter to shareholders: "Not removing that bottom 10% early in their careers is not only a management failure, but false kindness as well - a form of cruelty - because inevitably a new leader will come into a business and take out that bottom 10% right away, leaving them - sometimes midway through a career-stranded and having to start over somewhere else."
Ranking also can make a manager's job easier. Some managers have struggled for years to get their jobs done with non-performers. A ranking system makes it easier to manage them "up or out."
But if ranking systems are not implemented properly, they can be grounds for suit, usually on the basis of disparate impact. That's alleged when the impact of the ranking falls disproportionately on a particular group. Microsoft recently was sued by minority and female employees, Ford Motor Company by white males over 40, and Conoco by U. S. citizens, all claiming that the way rankings were conducted at their companies was discriminatory.
What You Should Do
To avoid claims of discrimination, and to ensure that the ranking is fair, managers can do the following:
· Give employees notice of the new policy;
· Clearly communicate objective and measurable expectations and involve the employee in goal setting;
· Provide accurate feedback as often as possible;
· Ensure evaluations contain concrete examples of good and bad performance to avoid claims of biased stereotypes;
· Monitor your results to see whether your decisions are having a lopsided effect on the basis of age, race, gender, etc. If so, contact Human Resources.

clasificación forzada


Explanation:
Un número cada vez mayor de compañías norteamericanas están adoptando los sistemas de calificación, también conocidos como clasificación forzada o distribuciones, como medio para asegurarse de que los gerentes evalúen con honestidad a los empleados y para que hagan distinciones más claras entre ellos.


Es un artículo de El Mundo.

precedencias obligatorias o clasificaciones obligatorias


Explanation:
Funciona así:

Si hay, por ejemplo, 7 empleados bajo tu supervisión (no debería haber más, de hecho), haces una columna con los siete nombres en orden vertical, y al lado de esa columna pones una cuadrícula de 49 cuadritos. Encima de ésta, haces una fila y vuelves a poner los siete nombres - por el orden, lateral, en que figuran en la columna vertical. Si, por ejemplo "Pancho" es el primero en la columna, también es el primero en la fila lateral.

"Pancho" debe ahora rellenar los pequeños cuadritos clasificando (ranking) a sus compañeros de trabajo en relación a cada uno de los demás ("Pancho pondrá una "x" para el cuadrito donde coincide su propio nombre lateral y verticalmente). Procediendo con el primer nombre de la columna, "Pancho" tiene que rellenar todas las cuadrículas - menos la marcada con "x" que corresponde a sí mismo - con el signo + o el signo -.

Para abreviar: El signo + escrito por "Pancho" en el cuadrito correspondiente a "Gómez", el segundo, indica que "Pancho" opina que "Gómez" es mejor que la persona cuyo nombre intersecta la fila de "Gómez". O pone el signo "-". No lo puede dejar en blanco y no hay otra opción que no sea - o +.

El sistma tiene algunas variantes. Pero de lo que se trata es de OBLIGAR a cada individuo a calificar, de una forma o de la otra y no más, a cada persona contra cada persona.

Es un sistema muy eficaz, especialmente cuando los resultados se le muestran a todos los que han realizado el "jueguito". Si quedan con baja puntuación y son personas de temple, hacen introspección. Si no, se buscan mil excusas para seguir donde están.

Espero que o entiendan. Es la primera vez que lo tengo que explicar sin dibujo y sin prácticas in-situ.
