Workflow Steps

Step 1 - Nomination/Application & Business Case

A manager nominates an employee for promotion, providing a detailed business case and evidence of performance against the criteria for the next level.

Step 2 - Promotion Committee Review

A cross-functional promotion committee reviews the candidate's performance history, skills, and readiness for the new role against a standardized rubric.

Step 3 - Behavioral & Leadership Interview

The candidate may go through a formal interview process or assessment to evaluate their leadership competencies and suitability for the higher-level position.

Step 4 - Decision & Communication

The committee makes a final decision. If approved, HR and the manager communicate the promotion, new role, and new compensation details to the employee, and announce it to the company.
