โข Range of careers is diverse (Ireland: small number of
careers, more in the larger countries like Germany,
France, Spain, UK and Italy)
โข Promotion within the career is usually organized
through competition
โข Some countries have strict upper limits (ceilings) for
promotions (Germany, Austria, Ireland, Spain,...)
โข General trend: more flexibilty in HRM autonomy
(budget ceiling, but wide management autonomy in
manning levels and qualification of the staff)
โข Possibility of fast track (UK, in combination with a
specific HRD program, also in France and Ireland)
