[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You say, Sharon, promotions aren't given for time in service but for the needs of the company. Unfortunately they can't be expected on a certain timeframe or without a substantial increase in responsibilities. If you are interested in working towards a promotion, let's talk about how you can bring more value to the organization.[/quote]

This is good. And you put in writing the goals she has to achieve to be eligible for promotion. very clear goals, even if it feels Mickey Mouse. Without saying so, use what the other employee did as a template. [/quote]

Only do this if you are actually able to offer the promotion. If she hits the goals and doesn't get the promotion it with be incredibly demotivating. Also you've put it in writing, so legal/hr may be a bit upset if she hits the goals, doesn't get the promotion and then complains [/quote]

Eligible. for. promotion.

And apparently she is already not motivated. [/quote]

If you write out goals for a single employee to be eligible for a promotion (a promotion that a younger employee go without said goals), and the employee hits those goals without a promotion, I'd expect an age discrimination complaint [/quote]

"here is the current org chart and where you are on it. When and if a promotion opportunity becomes available, you have a better chance of putting your hat in the ring if you achieve a profile that looks more like [this]..." Never promise a promotion. Org charts can change.[/quote]
