Definition<\/strong>: Employee Promotion can be described as the upward movement of an employee in the organizational hierarchy. It is the process of raising the position or rank of an employee working in an organization,<\/strong> which results in an increase in remuneration, designation, status, authorities and responsibilities, etc.<\/p>\n
Promotion is a form of internal mobility<\/strong>, which is a result of an employee’s outstanding performance in the tasks assigned.<\/p>\n
When there is only a shifting of an employee from one job to another that has better working condition and location, it is not considered as promotion, because promotion involves better pay and higher responsibilities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, when the salary of the employee is increased, but there is no change in the job title, it is called as “upgrading<\/strong>“, whereas when the employee is upgraded to a higher designation, but there is no change in the salary, it is called as “dry promotion<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n
