💡 Quiet or Dry promotions are not the right answer for any compensation review.
For a lot of companies, a key part of the compensation review process is assessing which employees could be due for a promotion. But a lot of employees have been ‘quietly promoted’ without any extra pay. So a new phenomenon have emerged: Quiet Promotions or also Dry Promotions : where an employer gives an employee increasing responsibility without a pay increase or title change…
🔥 63% of workers currently want a promotion or another role within their organization. Nearly 7 in 10 (68%) have taken on additional tasks with the hope of being promoted.
🏆 The industries that were most likely to regularly promote their employees were engineering (77%), government (73%), architecture and construction.
💪 The winning combination of a supportive manager is one that creates a trusting, celebratory environment. The majority of employees would thrive under managers that trust them (52%) and recognize their accomplishment, according to a new interesting research published by JobSage using data from a survey of 1,002 US employees who are currently employed full-time on their workplace experiences.
✅What is a Dry Promotion?
A dry promotion is when an employee is promoted to a new position (a title change and additional responsibilities) without receiving a salary increase.
Businesses often do this when they want to reward their employees for their work but don’t have the budget to provide additional pay.
