Promotion Parameters
PROMOTION
PROMOTING A PERSON TOO LATE DISHEARTENS HIM, PROMOTING HIM TOO EARLY DISHEARTENS OTHERS.
One of the most difficult problems a Human Resource department faces is promotion. Even today the criteria of ’seniority’ superseding ‘merit’ still weighs high in the Indian Employees’ mind. They tend to oppose the principle of merit-cum-seniority. Personnel practices, however, reveal that, at the lower levels of job ’seniority’ is preferred to merit with a progressive development of seniority-cum -merit principle; and at the higher levels of job, ‘merit’ is preferred to seniority with the extension of merit-cum seniority base for promotion. Try for the combination of the above Two Principles.
As regards ‘managerial cadre’, the promotion of the members of the middle-level management to the higher and top levels has been one of the most traumatic events. Some organizations put absolute faith in their ‘professional qualifications’, while those who believe that everybody must get opportunity to grow in the Seniority / Experience is their main attribute. Some experts however feel that ‘to win promotions you must not only have talent, ability and knowledge but also a ‘risk-taking’ mindset. Top management should be highly professional in their approach to promotion. They should avoid giving flimsy or technical ground to deny the employees’ rightful claims for promotion. They should give up the caste, class, region, language preferences in promotion. They should develop a proper ‘performance appraisal & review’ system tuned to the organizational culture and its requirements.
Look at promotion as an integral part of career development.
-
Promote a person who can not only get along but work along harmoniously with quarrelsome peers.
-
Promote a person who is a good learner – ever ready to acquire new knowledge and ever willing to experiment new ideas.
-
Promote a person who is willing to shoulder responsibility for his decision and actions.
-
Promote a person who performs extremely well and has potential and hunger to perform even better, giving the needed motivation, incentives and training.
-
Promote a person who can adjust his individual goals with the organizational objectives, and adapt, with ease, to organizational culture.
-
Promote a person who can stand by you in organizational ‘crisis’ and ‘change’.
-
Promote a person who is quality – cost – competition conscious, and committed to excellence.
-
Promote a person having a broad vision, liberal (non -bureaucratic) attitude, and ‘outward looking’ approach.
-
Promote a person who possesses high propensity for inventive ideas and innovative solutions for people’s problem solving.
-
Promote a person who can rightly manage his time, build his team and train his people in the race for winning.
-
Promote a person having a knack of maintaining and developing effective communications and interpersonal relations.
-
Promote a person who is fair in his dealings and just in his actions.
In other words, the management has to consider promotion to those employees who are assets to the organization. Promotion is a reward given to the employee who consistently exhibit exemplary performance at their work place coupled with additional emoluments in terms salary and perquisites & responsibility. If the company continues to reward and retain good and competent personnel’s simultaneously correcting, reprimanding & punishing incompetent one’s it is on the road to success.
