What the mining of promotion

Definition: Promotions refer to the entire set of activities, which
communicate the product, brand or service to the user. The idea
is to make people aware, attract and induce to buy the product, in
preference over others.
Description: There are several types of promotions. Above the

line promotions include advertising, press releases, consumer
promotions (schemes, discounts, contests), while below the line
include trade discounts, freebies, incentive trips, awards and so
on. Sales promotion is a part of the overall promotion effort.
There are also:
1. Personal selling: one of the most effective ways of customer
relationship. Such selling works best when a good working
relationship has been built up over a period of time.
This can also be expensive and time consuming, but is best for
high value or premium products.
2. Sales promotions: this includes freebies, contests, discounts,

free services, passes, tickets and so on, as distinct from
advertising, publicity and public relations.
3. Public relations: PR is the deliberate, planned and sustained
effort to establish and maintain mutual understanding between the
company and the public.

What the meaning of Demotion
A demotion refers to a permanent reassignment to a lower
position than the employee had worked previously. The
position will generally have a lower level of responsibility or
required skill, and a lower pay grade than the previous
position.
Demotions can be either voluntary or involuntary and can

occur due to poor employee performance, position
elimination, disciplinary actions or organizational
restructuring. A demotion can allow a company to retain an
employee it deems valuable by returning him or her to the
previous position. However, it is also possible that the
employee will not respond well to the demotion, and if the
demotion is a result of employee misconduct, it can send the
message to other employees that the company is lax about
disciplinary action.
Demotion is just the opposite of promotion. It refers to the

lowering down of the status, salary, and responsibilities of an
employee. Demotion is generally used as a punitive measure and
is a preliminary step to discharge. The usefulness of demotion as a
punitive measure is questioned on many grounds.
Losing pay over a period of time is a long-form of constant

humiliation.
2
Moreover, a demoted employee will always be dissatisfied, and his
dissatisfaction may spread to co-workers, adversely affecting
morale, productivity, and discipline of the workforce.
Demotion becomes necessary,
 If a company curtails some of its activities and employees with

longer service bump persons in lower jobs with shorter service.
 It may be used as a disciplinary weapon.
Demotion will serve its purpose if it satisfies the following

conditions;
 A clear and reasonable list of rules should be framed, violation of

which would subject an employee demotion.
 This information should be clearly communicated to employees.
 There should be a proper investigation of any alleged violation.
 If violations are found, there should be a consistent and equitable
application of the penalty, preferably by the immediate
supervisor.
 There should be a provision of review.
Since demotions produce an adverse effect on employee morale,

they are made infrequently.
Types of Demotion
1. Voluntary Demotion.
2. Involuntary Demotion.
Voluntary Demotion
A permanent employee may request a voluntary demotion to a

vacant position in a class with a lower salary rate, provided that
3
the employee has previously achieved permanent status in that
class or, the request for demotion is to a related class in the same
job series as defined by the Personnel Commission.
Involuntary Demotion
An involuntary demotion is a disciplinary action and, as such, is

subject to the disciplinary procedures in these Rules and
Regulations.
Advantages of demotion
Telling an employee that he is being demoted to a different job is

rarely a positive experience for a manager.
However, employee demotions are usually intended to benefit the

company and maybe even the employee.
Good managers weigh the benefits of demoting employees

against the possible psychological effects on the worker and the
organizational culture.
Frances Burks has pointed out the benefits of demotion, which are
listed below:
 Common benefit employers seek with demotions is getting an

employee to quit as opposed to firing him. Some managers use
this tactic to avoid the conflict of telling someone he is fired.
 Another financial benefit of demoting employees is a salary
reduction. Typically, a demotion means the employee works in a
lower-paying position. This can save the company a substantial
amount. In some cases, a demotion results because the company
believes it overpays a worker for the production he generates.
4
 Employee demotion may involve fewer risks of lawsuits or other
grievances than termination.
 One of the more positive benefits of employee demotions is
developing the employee through more training and coaching.
Sometimes, employees take a position they are not adequately
prepared to handle. A demotion may prevent burnout or
employment separation. If the employee is demoted to a position
he is most comfortable with, he can work toward additional
training to eventually grow into the position from which he was
demoted.
 A demotion could be the best option for keeping an employee
with potential but needs more training and experience.
Sometimes companies grow faster than anticipated, and
employees get pushed into roles that they don’t want or aren’t
ready to handle. An employee who can excel in the company may
respond more favorably to a demotion if he is provided with an
opportunity for additional job training. After all, the employee
may realize he’s in over his head and unfit for his current position.
 Sometimes a company’s structure change and demotions are necessary
because departments are phased out, and fewer high-level positions are
needed. Such changes can be an opportunity for improvement for all
involved as people assume new responsibilities to take the company in a
different direction. Some people won’t view the changes or demotions as
an opportunity, and they’ll quit. Yet, the people who remain may be a more
motivated bunch excited about the company’s new direction.
One problem with demotion is that the demoted employee may become
de-motivated or, worse, openly antagonistic toward those responsible for
the demotion decision.
Sometimes, demotions are intended to be a kindly alternative to firing an

employee who cannot do his present job. Rather than sever the
employment relationship, a decision is made to retain the employee but at
a lower level of responsibility.

All rules and regulations are to be clearly laid down in writing, including a
clause that a violation of the same may result in demotion.
