How to Deal with Average Performers?
Managing Average Performers
They did deliver, if only a mediocre, standard performance. So they can not be dismissed on a non-performance basis.
They are the majority within most organisations.
How to purge some of them out of the organisation?

Appraisal Systems are not Screening Systems
Appraisal systems should be aimed at human capital development, not for screening. Using this for screening or purging purpose is not right.
In any case an organization cannot have only leaders, it also needs performers, followers and persons in other capacities.
For average persons, part of the credit should also go to the appraisor who apperently could not lift the level of appraisee during the interval between appraisals.
Discussion with appraisee on issues in an objective manner may take them out of "average" label and prevent heavy cost of new recruiting, training etc.
