This is one of the most commonly asked question about any organization. Within Accenture, their Human Resources (HR) department plays a major role in the employee’s promotions (and salary increases) than the employee’s manager. It does not make sense since the manager knows more about an employee’s potential than the HR folks. I guess the theory behind the HR’s tight reign and control is to ensure uniformity across the organization.. huh.

Now lets see what one could do to get the promotion and better salary increases.

• Try to establish good relationship with the HR folks; Always keep in touch them and be nice to them. When they are around, make sure to behave properly… the theme here is, every little bit helps.

• You are the ambassador of the Accenture brand – so do things outside work (aka extra-curricular activities) that promotes and fosters Accenture brand. For example, participate in non-profit organization events to spread Accenture Brand. More importantly make sure that the HR folks are aware of your activities.

• Last and the least, make sure to have a good relation with your boss. Always make him successful and make him look nice in-front of others.

Now a little quiz. Which of the following two candidates are likely to get the promoted and fetch higher salary increases:

• Awesome technical guy, good enough to be working at Google to rewrite their search algorithms

• An above-average employee with good relations with HR and participating in few extra-curricular activities.

Any guesses?
