Building a System That Recognizes Top Talent

Choosing who to promote and how to recognize them communicates a clear message about an organization’s values and direction.

Senior leadership sets expectations through messages, defined competencies, and qualification requirements for advancement. These are supported by development policies that form the backbone of the organization’s training program. In many companies, these elements are not fully aligned, which can cause confusion for employees.

An effective system requires leadership and HR to define the qualities they want employees to develop and the career paths they hope to encourage. Clear expectations, supported by a series of connected initiatives, help create a fair and motivating promotion process.

As part of leadership development support, we help clients establish criteria for management-level promotions, design transparent selection processes, and ensure proper operation and follow-up.
