Company has the following designations in its roll.
1. General Manager
2. DGM
3. Sr.Manager
4. Manager
5. Asst.Manager
6. Officer
In order to streamline the promotion policy, the company wants to re-designate the existing employees.
In such a case,
Whether an existing DGM can be redesignated as Sr.Manager without abolishing the post of DGM? (The post of DGM exists even after the existing DGM is renamed as Sr.Manager)
Whether Addressing a Deputy General Manager as Sr.Manager is demotion?

Dear Mr.Shetty,
In your Management Chart (MC) whether the post of DGM is superior to Sr.Manager or inferior or both are same?
If your answer is DGM post is superior, then calling a person who is in DGM position as Sr.Manager is definitely a demotion. The person will get demotivated by this action of yours and you go on to say that you will keep the DGM post vacant. I am very much confused on your query.
You are calling it a promotion policy - It is new to me to chalk out a promotion policy afresh how can you bring down a person from a higher cadre to a lower cadre. Something wrong in your ideas my friend.
Hope my other friends in citeHR would throw more inputs and clarity.
Regards.

Hi Shetty
As you mentioned your current hierarchy is as below
1. GM
2. DGM
3. Sr. Mgr
4. Manager
5. Asst. Manager
6. Officer
I would recommend to create more hierarchy so that employee will fell promoted after gap of 2-3 years and you can keep them motivated.
1. GM
2. Sr. DGM (This is optional, normally used very rarely)
3. DGM
4. AGM
5. Sr. Manager
6. Manager
7. Dy. Manager
8. Asst. Manager
9. Sr. Officer
10. Officer
Do not degrade anyone, hence do not reduce anyone’s designation, you can elevate few of them like below, whom you think they are suppose to be higher designation then the current one.
GM -> GM
DGM -> Sr. DGM (Promotion)
DGM -> DGM
Sr. Manager -> AGM (Promotion)
Sr. Manager -> Sr. Manager
Manager -> Manager
Asst. Manager -> Dy. Manager (Promotion)
Asst. Manager -> Asst. Manager
Officer -> Sr. Officer (Promotion)
Officer -> Officer
One or more layer can remove based on your employee strength and nature of Industry.
