Based on my analysis I will choose the option number 3 because I can assure that it cab help
higher productivity and profitability which is the use of objective analytics to predict and analyze
who will be hire and promoted based on what skills and competencies they have and the
management should prioritize accountability mentioned in the case that the person who never
chosen is the one who has a skills and talent more than anyone else which also happened in
the organization. Seniority can be develops using a sense of loyalty among the employees
and the morale of the employees will be increase because they are sure of getting promotion,
it makes them lethargic in performing their duties however, not all employees may feel the same
like I've mentioned before some employees will not be motivated instead it might lead to
employee turnover as a result, overall production of the concern will be very much affected.
The management should not based their promotion in seniority but they should also consider
their talented employees
