AI-Assisted Promotion Readiness

Promotion decisions sometimes rely heavily on subjective judgment rather than a consistent, data‑informed process. Managers and HR teams frequently lack timely access to comparable performance, potential and development information across employees. As a result, promotion readiness assessments can become a subjective, documentation-heavy exercise that leaves top talent overlooked and managers and HR uncertain about next steps.

Avature can help streamline the process, offering AI-powered insights to assess who is best suited for a promotion.

Key capabilities include:

• Insights Agent: Build lists of those being considered for promotions to focus on relevant segments of your workforce, such as top performers, then easily compare employees side by side. Ask natural language questions about their experience, skills or performance to assess their readiness for promotion using the Insights Agent.
• Workflows: Design the promotion experience you would like to deliver. You can also embed agentic actions within your promotion-specific workflows to automatically generate comprehensive employee summaries or obtain tailored interview questions for each role.
• Reports Insights: Instead of manually filtering large reports, managers and HR can ask natural language questions through Avature Copilot to instantly retrieve performance trends, received feedback, goals achieved and performance readiness—making it faster and easier to surface the metrics that matter for promotion decisions.
• AI-Based Skills Matching: Support more objective, skills-based comparisons by leveraging must-have and nice-to-have skills as matching criteria to check how closely an employee’s profile aligns with the requirements of the next role.
• Knowledge Agent: Enable managers to ask questions through a chatbot and receive instant, policy-aligned answers based on your company’s promotion criteria, leadership models and internal documentation.

“Avature is a true differentiator when it comes to understanding and getting your arms around your talent. I believe that everyone wants to feel a part of something and that’s what engagement does for a company. You get that discretionary effort from people, that true engagement, by ensuring they feel connected to the core and a part of something bigger.”
