Promotions help boost the morale of
employees. Higher positions earn higher salaries and hence everyone wants to
be promoted. Some people feel that only
those employees who have worked for
an organization for several years should
be given promotion. I don’t agree with
this view. In my opinion, the time spent
in an organization should be just one of
the criteria for determining an
employee’s eligibility for promotion.
Employers often believe that employees
who have spent a lot of years in an
organization are more likely to be loyal
to it. They tend to reward this loyalty
with promotions and rises. I am not
against promoting senior employees.
However, in my opinion, new hires too
should be promoted if they have the
skills and qualifications.
Just because someone has spent ten or
twenty years in an organization, it does
not mean that they are the most
competent. Sometimes new employees
deliver better performance than senior
employees because they possess more
skills and qualifications. What’s more, a‘new employee’ may have years of
experience in another organization.
If competent employees are denied
promotion because they don’t have
years of experience in the organization,
it will affect their morale. Worse, it may
encourage them to quit and join another
company that honours talent. Attrition
will only hurt the interests of an
organization.
To conclude, in my opinion, employers
should consider a variety of factors
while determining an employee’s
eligibility for promotion. This includes
their qualifications, special skills and
domain expertise. Promotions and rises
encourage employees to work harder. If
they are denied promotion in spite of
their hard work and eligibility, they might
just quit
