How does CHG Healthcare make decisions around promotions?

In the IT deparment, it's political and based upon preconceived notions of the leadership. If you speak to the employees who work with the candidate... they would tell you how amazing they are. But, if the senior leadership had one preconceived notion about an employee that doesn't sit well with that leader they will hold that promotion hostage. Even if the employees behavior aligns with company policy. If it doesn't pass that leaders litmus test, that employee will not be awarded that employee. They also use promotions as a half-hearted attempt to say, "we're trying to change."
