Depending on business policy, you should consider different factors, including:
whether the employee is exceeding expectations within their role (eg by going above and beyond and putting in extra effort to reach and achieve their goals)
whether the employee is taking on new responsibilities and opportunities
how well the employee takes ownership of feedback and criticism
where the employee sees themselves progressing to within the business and if they want to take on a higher level of responsibility
whether the employee has the necessary experience to take on additional responsibilities that would be expected of them in a new position
whether the new position requires training and whether the employee shows eagerness to learn
Based on your assessment, the Employee Appraisal Form should set out the employee’s suitability for promotion and the reasons for this assessment. Read Employee evaluations for more information.
