Job Promotion

This document discusses job promotions within an organization. It defines promotion as the vertical movement of an employee to a higher position with increased salary, status, and responsibilities. Promotions are used to motivate employees, attract and retain talent, increase effectiveness, and fill vacancies internally. Promotions build loyalty, morale, and a sense of belonging. They also show others career opportunities are available based on performance. Promotions can be seniority-based, rewarding length of service, or merit-based, rewarding performance based on appraisals regardless of age. Both have merits like motivation and retaining talent, but seniority-based promotions do not ensure competence while merit-based promotions can cause discontentment.
