Career-growth nominations in a county health department rest on informal "gut" lists that systematically favor a few familiar names. What should senior HR introduce?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A gut list is just a popularity contest with extra mystery. Growth decisions need a structured look at the skills the posted path actually requires. Tie the assessment to the path or the same names will keep winning.
Full Explanation
Career-growth decisions require structured talent assessment linked to posted paths, not informal familiarity. Gut lists systematically favor visible insiders and cannot be defended as job-related. Senior HR should introduce criteria, evidence, and calibrated review against the competencies of the published path. Hidden lists, seniority-only awards, and unlinked personality quizzes replace one bias with another.
