Some people think that only staff who have worked in a company for a long time should be promoted to a higher position. What is your opinion?

Some individuals believe that only long-serving employees deserve to earn higher promotions in the place of work.

This

essay disagrees with the above viewpoint that workers who have served the company for a longer duration of

years

should be considered for elevation. The essay will

first

argue that higher leadership or management status requires specialized training which demands that one should acquire additional qualifications, and

then

submits that rather than emphasizing

years

of service in considering promotional opportunities, more credence should be given to the contribution, an individual has added to the organization.

First

and foremost, rising to a higher managerial position requires some professional experience; and qualifications.

That is

, one needs to have

further

acquired extra training alongside the

years

of working experience to be able to function effectively at the management level.

This

is the reason, many employees seek

further

professional training, in the course of their services to boost their chances of being considered for status elevation.

For instance

, no matter the

years

of working as a cleaner in an organization, he or she cannot rise beyond a certain position.

Furthermore

, when a company is to assess its staff for promotion, other valuable criteria

such

as the productivity of the concerned workers, or even their contributions to the running of the

business

should be emphasized rather than just

years

of service. By looking at

this

valuable aspect, the overall effect of the promotional exercise in making the company more productive can be better realized.

For instance

, it is possible to have spent

years

in a

business

venture, without having any meaningful impact.

Thus

promoting

such

individuals on the basis of routine consideration of the number of

years

at work will be counter-productive for the

business

, meaning the

business

will now have to pay more for less output. In conclusion, there are a number of other important factors to consider when promoting a staff which is the additional professional skills, an individual has added to his or herself, as well as how productive

such

a fellow is. I believe that

years

of work should not be the only

considered
