Answer to Question 1

Answer: Promotion from within (PFW) is the policy of filling vacancies above entry-level positions with current employees. When an organization emphasizes promotion from within, its workers have an incentive to strive for advancement. When employees see co-workers promoted, they become more aware of their own opportunities. Motivation provided by this practice often improves employee morale. Another advantage of internal recruitment is that the organization is usually well aware of its employees' capabilities. The employee has a track record, as opposed to being an unknown entity. Also, the company's investment in the individual may yield a higher return. Still another positive factor is the employee's knowledge of the firm, its policies, and its people. However, a strictly applied PFW policy eventually leads to inbreeding, a lack of cross-fertilization, and a lack of creativity. New blood provides new ideas and innovation that must take place for firms to remain competitive.
