It is significant in the field of HR since the theory that, if you map the performance of the employees on a graph, most of it will fall into a specific range similar to the Bell Curve.

 

The Bell Curve represents a standard distribution in mathematics, wherein, an average rating or score, increases in number towards the top of the ‘bell’ with the lesser scores and the higher scores evenly distributed towards the lower end of the ‘bell’.
