By policy your company inducts only freshers. Lateral induction is discouraged. Loyalty is rewarded and all higher posts are filled from within. Till now that is.
Things are about to change. You think your company is on the verge of a rapid growth and to take-off you will have to resort to lateral induction.
You are now faced with a dilemma. If you resort to lateral induction, will it discourage the employees who have worked so hard all these years to grow within the company? The promotions that they were looking forward to is now suddenly filled up by 'outsiders'. You are afraid that the logic that growth will create more opportunities within the company may not cut ice.
There is another issue that is troubling you. The company has a culture that is maintained largely due to the fact that freshers can be molded and made to fit. With positions at senior levels filled by 'outsiders' who are not indoctrinated with the current company culture, you may land up with more human issues.

First of all lateral induction is to be resorted to only when the Organisation is certain that the existing employees do not qualify for the higher responsibilities or the Growth anticipated would definitely need more number of employees. If it is due to the second alternative, Growth, then there should be no problem in convincing the existing employees that their own growth will not be affected in any way with the growth offering enough opportunities for ALL. However, the first alternative is a bit tricky. The organisation should be able to establish the fact as to how the skill set of existing employees are not meeting the organisation's requirement.If possible they should identify atleast some of them to impart additional training and see if they can be made suitable for the higher responsibilities. This would convince the employees about Management's sincerity of purpose and should clear any doubts in their minds. Preference could be given to the "Qualified" relatives of existing employees while recruiting for new jobs. A novel idea that comes to mind is to MOTIVATE the existing employees by giving them a Token Increment and calling them all "PATRONS" in their payroll. This would satisfy their ego that they are founder members of the Organisation distinctly SUPERIOR to the newcomers as acknowledged by the Management!
