Hi All.
My name is Melanya. I’m not a HR personnel by profession. However, I would like to share to you all something which my company has been “practicing” on promotion. So, I’d like to have your comments pertaining to this.
Each year, promotions are done, I would say widely. The worse thing is that you’ll be able to see nearly the same staff being promoted on a yearly basis – if not yearly, every 2 years. Promotions are quite rapid especially on the Manager level below. I learnt that there are some who would ask for a promotion from their immediate superior. Whether really deserving or not, these immediate superiors will fight like hell for their staff to be promoted. Some will even go straight to the upper management for immediate approval/endorsement.
My question is that:
1) What is really the best way to curb the above practice?
2) Is it best to have a policy where each staff is to remain in their current position/grade for at least 3 years before any due for promotion?
3) Can we also impose promotions to be exercised only after a minimum 1 year in service with the company?
Thanks.
