A team approach to promotions at Rohr Inc

Article Abstract:

Rohr Inc's On-the-Move promotion policy provides team leaders and managers with a venue for constructive dialogue concerning career development. Employees at the aerospace supplier's Foley, AL, facility have been receptive to the new policy which has served to facilitate a better and more efficient management of job openings for higher positions from within the company ranks. Employees are encouraged to actively take part in job posting and selection through a job bidding process that is conducted in a lottery or contest format. The program as a whole has been an effective way of ensuring the fairness and objectiveness of employee selection. However, some disadvantages were also noted from the promotion policy. Both the advantages and disadvantages of On-the-Move are presented.

Three-year plan eases the pain of plant closings

Article Abstract:

Leaf Inc's successful implementation of a three-year phase-out plan for closing its manufacturing plants helped preserve productivity and employee morale. Upper management worked in coordination with human resources personnel in planning, communicating and addressing the needs of its employees during the transition period. Early planning and announcement of company objectives, seeking the help of outplacement agencies and maintaining an open line of communication within the organization facilitated the actual shutdown process. Training and educational programs provided by management and communication activities initiated by HR staff demonstrated the company's commitment to helping employees through this difficult period.
