About this episode
With the unemployment rate down to 3.5%, some employers are struggling to fill key positions and offering promotions as a way to keep employees from leaving. We talk to Ebony Martin, a lab technician at a hospital in Chicago who thought about finding work elsewhere but instead received a promotion. She’s now thriving in her new role, but for some of the newly promoted that’s not the case. We hear from Steve Dion, a leadership coach, consultant and former HR executive who works with people who need help after their companies promoted them a little too early. He tells us what companies and individuals can do to make sure those elevated to new roles get the support they need.
