Nolan Church, a former Google recruiter, shares four key reasons why employees may miss out on promotions.
First, a performance gap can arise from a lack of feedback, so it’s important to actively seek and apply feedback.
Second, promotions may be limited by the absence of suitable roles, especially at higher levels.
Third, budget constraints or business struggles can delay or prevent promotions.
Lastly, not advocating for oneself can be a significant barrier. Employees should regularly communicate their achievements and progress to ensure visibility, especially in remote work environments.
