Promotion from Within
The basic principle behind promotions is that the most qualified and capable individual deserves a chance to get ahead. One of the first decisions an employer must make when developing a policy statement on promotions is to what extent vacant positions will be filled by promotion from within and to what extent outside recruiting will take place. A carefully developed and impartially executed promotion policy is a company’s greatest assurance that it is attracting, retaining, and advancing these outstanding individuals to positions of greater responsibility.
