How
To Determine If An Employee Is Ready For Promotion
By Dennis Sommer (www.dennissommer.com)
Promoting an employee prematurely can cause no end of
problems for you, your organization, and the employee.
Ask yourself these questions when you consider promoting
an employee.
The more questions you answer “Yes”, the better
the chances for the promotion to succeed.
-
Is the employee performing present duties well
enough to justify a promotion?
-
Is the employee experienced and qualified to do
at least part of the new job and reasonably quick
to learn?
-
Is the employee willing to hand over current responsibilities
to a new person?
-
Is the employee enthusiastic about taking on a
new role?
-
Is the employee familiar with the new position,
its responsibilities and priorities?
-
Is the employee proficient in the interpersonal
skills necessary to work with others in a new role?
-
Is the employee adequately trained or willing to
be?
-
Is the employee prepared to bow out gracefully
if the promotion does not work out as planned?
