Salary increases are just like our relatives.
Merit increases are the close relatives you see regularly, and promotional increases are the distant cousin you only see every few years.
You like the distant cousin, they’re flashy and fun every time you see them, but you want to learn more about them.
There’s a reason everyone loves promotional increases: career advancement is one of the most important motivators for employees. In the employee engagement surveys we administer, a lack of steps in the career ladder is a major source of employee frustration. Even more disappointing, if employees do get promoted, and the rewards don’t seem to live up to their expectations, you can all but guarantee they won’t be around much longer.
