**The request for assigning a promotion process** is a plug-in feature (enabled upon the request of a specific organization). It allows employees to independently submit a request to initiate a promotion process from their employee account.

Employees have two options:

- Submitting a request to start the promotion process without specifying the position they would like to be promoted to.
- Submitting a request to start the promotion process with a selected position they would like to be promoted to.

If you decide to start the promotion process, go to the **Profile** section. Then navigate to the **Promotions** tab. If you do not have an active promotion process, you can click the **“Request a promotion process assignment”** button.

After clicking the button, a window will appear, allowing you to select the position you want to be promoted to. Recommended competency profiles will be displayed first. To see more options, click on the dropdown list below. Select the one that interests you and confirm by clicking the **“Request a promotion process”** button.

**Note:** Selecting a position is not mandatory. After clicking **“Request a promotion process,”** your manager will decide which position to assign to your promotion process.

After creating the promotion process, the following message will appear in the **Promotion** section, indicating that you have successfully submitted a promotion request and it is awaiting the Manager's decision.
