It is a formal process within companies and organizations that allows employees to progress in their careers to higher levels in terms of position, salary, responsibility, and authority. Once employees meet certain criteria set by the company, they qualify to transition to higher-level roles. However, the career ladder, in its comprehensive concept, has become one of modern management characteristics, working on defining tasks, identifying their components, and clarifying them to employees. As for what prompts companies to develop a career ladder plan, it is the need to establish a close link between employees’ tasks, job titles, salary increases, and other job-related matters. The advantages of the career ladder are as follows:
Attracting competent and high-quality employees to the enterprise (the company management ensures employees’ pursuit to improve themselves to attain promotions on the career ladder).
Ensuring employees’ satisfaction and preventing their sudden departure, especially the competent ones, (who continually gain experience), thereby fostering a beneficial relationship between the employee and the management.
