A job promotion is an advancement in an employee's position within a company, often accompanied by increased responsibilities, a higher salary, and improved benefits. Promotions typically occur when an employee demonstrates exceptional performance, skills, and dedication to their role. Companies may also promote individuals to fill higher-level positions that become available due to growth or employee turnover. Promotions can vary in nature, including lateral moves to different departments or upward moves to managerial roles. The process often involves evaluations, interviews, and sometimes competitive selection among candidates. Successful promotions can enhance career development and job satisfaction for employees.
