When the company issues a notice on the adjustment of the promotion mechanism within the company, special attention needs to be paid to the fairness, incentive and legality of the wording to avoid misunderstandings or legal risks of age discrimination. The following are specific suggestions and templates for reference： --- ###**Key principles：** 1. **Emphasize ability and potential**: Focus on business needs such as "the vitality, innovation potential, and future cultivation value of young employees", rather than directly comparing ages. 2. **Maintain equal opportunities**: Make it clear that all employees can still be promoted through performance or contribution, and avoid absolutist expressions. 3. **Combine the company's strategy**: Link the adjustment to the company's long-term development goals (such as echelon construction, digital transformation, etc.) to reflect rationality. --- ###**Notification template：** **Title：** **Notice on optimizing the promotion mechanism and strengthening the construction of young talent echelon** **Text：** Dear colleagues： In order to meet the needs of the company's rapid development and continue to inject innovative vitality, after research and decision by the management, the current promotion mechanism will be optimized and adjusted to further strengthen the training and incentive of high-potential young talents. The specific instructions are as follows： 1. **Goals and principles** -This adjustment aims to improve the construction of the talent echelon and reserve diversified talents for the company's long-term development. -Promotion always takes “ability matching position” as the core principle, and combines comprehensive evaluation of performance, potential and cultural values. 2. **Optimize direction** -**Strengthen the training of young backbone**: For young employees with high performance and management potential, the company will accelerate their growth through special training, project experience, etc., and give priority to promotion opportunities under the same conditions. -**Broaden promotion channels**: All employees can still be promoted through outstanding contributions or outstanding performance. The company encourages employees of different ages to exert their value in their respective areas of advantage. 3. **Supporting measures** -Launch the "Future Leaders Program” to provide mentoring and rotation opportunities for potential employees. -Evaluate the fairness of the mechanism every year to ensure the objectivity and transparency of talent selection. The Human Resources Department will organize a lecture and answer questions at [date]. Feedback and suggestions are welcome through [email/phone]. **Human Resources Department** [Date] --- ###**Precautions：** 1. **Legal compliance**： -Avoid using hard-and-fast age restrictions such as ”only under XX years old“, and replace them with soft expressions such as ”Focus on employees who have performed well within 3 years of entry". -Consult legal counsel in advance to ensure compliance with local labor regulations (such as China's Employment Promotion Law, which prohibits age discrimination). 2. **Communication strategy**： -Simultaneous delivery of value recognition to senior employees, such as the addition of parallel promotion paths such as “professional expert posts” or “senior consultants”. -Management can communicate privately with affected employees and explain their personal development plans. 3. **Cultural guidance**： -Before and after the announcement, promote a “competency-oriented” culture through internal cases to weaken age sensitivity. By packaging ”rejuvenation" as part of ”talent echelon construction" and emphasizing fair opportunities for all employees, the goals can be achieved more smoothly.
