If Re-designation and the Promotion are the same thing?

Hi All Please let me know if Re-designation and the Promotion are the same thing?
If the Employee has completed his MBA Degree and is Redesignated ,so is it the same being promoted?
Regards

Hi,
No. This cant be same always
Let's say a company has 5 levels/grades for a position - Executive, Sr Executive, Asst Manager, Deputy Manager and Manager. Designations can differ - sales executive, HR Officer, Associate Manager etc. Re-designation can be just a name change or can be promotion and name change.
Hope this is clear

Re-Designation happens when only the position title has been changed, but everything else remains same with regard to job responsibilities, place of work, reporting structure, etc.
The new designation will appear in future communications.
Promotion is when the work is recognized and there is a considerable hike in Salary, extension in job reponsibilities, change in title (from previous to a sr. role), change in reporting structure.. etc.
Thanks

The Redesignation of a person could be for eg: Execurtive to Sr. Executive but the person continues to do the same job and there are not nuch added benifits . Except change in designation.
The Promotion means added responsibilities as well as a increase in the compensation of the Executive.

Hi,
i would not agree with Madan here.
Redesignation is, you are changing the employees designation as per his current job responisibilities, for an ex - changes in the designation with no change in level , position or hike.
where in Promotion includes all of the above, i.e. change in designation, level, position and salary hike.
executive to sr. exceutive is a promotion and not redesignation.
Thanks

Well, in some companies the designations Sr. and Jr. is determined just by the number of years of experience. So suppose 3 yrs is the criteria for a Sr. Executive, the moment a Jr Executive completes 3 yrs of experience, his designation will be changed to Sr. Executive. This is not a promotion.

It depends why you want to redesignate the person. Was there some pre-condition to completion of studies.
Normally, redesignation is done in case of any change in the organization structure. For example, all officer to be redesignated as Executive, rest of things remaining same (compensation, reporting, job profile etc).

Promotion is based on performance evaluation whereby employee is rewarded with higher perks, designation and role.

Dear All,
Redesignation is as simple as same old wine in new bottle i.e. the level, grade and salary remains same only name of the designation changes.
But, in Promotion the level is elevated (if not grade/salary everytime).
and in increment the salary hike is given.
For eg. Sales Officer redesignated as Sales executive
Sales Executive promoted to Asst. Sales Manager

Redesignation & Promotion are 2 different things.
Redesignation is some thing like this : If an employee is working in accounts departemnt as an accountant and later own acquires a qualification such as completes MBA in HR and wishes to work for HR dept and depending upon company policiy as, he is meeting the requisite criteria and upon vacancy in the dept for a HR personnel he may be taken into HR Dept at the discretion of management then he cannot be accountant and in this situatuion he has too be redesignated as HR Executive. In this process his salary will also chage in line with the payscale in HR. In simple words redesignation is complete change in the job profile of an employee.
Where as promotion is elevation from current position, increase in salary & responsibilities.
