Process
Review Promotion Packets: The committee carefully examines the performance records, and achievements. They'll discuss & consider skills, competencies, impact, growth potential, and alignment with Being Axelerant.
Conduct Interview: With the intention to eliminate bias and ensure all future and existing members have similar measurability, we ask the committee to have an interview style conversation with the respective team member to determine their fitment into the targeted role. Based on the submitted promotion packet, the committee at their discretion can further ask the team member to respond to questionnaires or tests.
P.S. This is by no means an attempt to deny or make the process lengthy but a genuine attempt to bring fairness in the promotion process.
Discuss but decide: Committee members are expected to thoughtfully evaluate each promotion packet. The committee is expected to not get into analysis paralysis and is expected to decide within reasonable time.
Provide Feedback: The committee will share the rationale and constructive feedback with the team members when a promotion decision is made, helping them understand decisions and improve future promotion applications (in case of rejection) via notes in the #po-promotion channels. The performance management team helps document this in Leapsome. The team members are encouraged to reapply after six months should the person determine that they've addressed the previous feedback.
Document Promotions: Accurate records are maintained in Zoho and other systems, ensuring promotion decisions are appropriately documented and communicated to stakeholders within #po-promotion channels.
Maintain Utmost Confidentiality: The Promotion Committee maintains confidentiality, ensuring individual performance details, related discussions remain confidential, fostering trust and integrity.
