How do I get a promotion at work?
Deliver strong results, take on more responsibility and make your goals known.
Promotions usually go to people who perform well, show they can handle bigger responsibilities and make their ambitions known. Do not assume your work will speak for itself.
Understand what the next level requires in your organisation.
Know the criteria
Ask your manager what skills and results are needed for the next role.
Show impact
Take on more responsibility, solve problems proactively and keep a record of your achievements with measurable results.
Make it known
Discuss your goals in one-to-one meetings, ask for feedback and find a mentor or sponsor. When ready, make a clear case for why you deserve the promotion.
