Get the insider information at Tecross.com <p>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&#8217;s promotions (and salary increases) than the employee&#8217;s manager. It does not make sense since the manager knows more about an employee&#8217;s potential than the HR folks. I guess the theory behind the HR&#8217;s tight reign and control is to ensure uniformity across the organization.. huh.</p> <p>Now lets see what one could do to get the promotion and better salary increases.</p> <ul> <li>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&#8230; the theme here is, every little bit helps.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>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.</li> </ul> <ul> <li>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.</li> </ul> <p>Now a little quiz. Which of the following two candidates are likely to get the promoted and fetch higher salary increases:</p> <ul> <li>Awesome technical guy, good enough to be working at Google to rewrite their search algorithms</li> </ul> <ul> <li>An above-average employee with good relations with HR and participating in few extra-curricular activities.</li> </ul> <p>Any guesses?</p> Mon, 09 Oct 2006 20:11:01 -0400 urn:uuid:cb0ec3f6-308a-49cf-a18d-f590e3226c9e http://www.tecross.com/blog/2006/10/09/how-to-get-promoted-or-get-bigger-salary-increases-within-accenture Accenture <p>Is the salary increases uniform across Accenture? For example, does a level/category B employees receive the same increase irrespective of the group they work in? How do they accommodate and compensate for groups doing financially better than others. thanks</p> Tue, 10 Oct 2006 09:23:48 -0400 urn:uuid:ed418f9a-d0bb-40fe-a927-e2f40c5556d5 http://www.tecross.com/blog/2006/10/09/how-to-get-promoted-or-get-bigger-salary-increases-within-accenture#comment-46
