Rakesh has been working as Assistant Manager in a logistics company for the last ten years. The company is in a growing phase and has been making a lot of effort to acquire talent globally. Lately, many candidates with lesser educational qualification and experience have joined the company at a higher scale than the one being given to Rakesh. Even others with lesser experience are being promoted. Although yearly performance appraisals rate Rakesh as „Highly Effective‟ but he has never been offered a promotion. What are your comments on the situation? Do you think such situations are the result of policy issues or simply inadequate HR management? How far is Rakesh responsible for the situation? What should he do?
