A career ladder for radiological technologists.
A career ladder is a mechanism for employee progression within a chosen field. This paper describes the design and implementation of such a system in a large community radiology department. The career ladder system included integrated job descriptions, salary scales and evaluation procedures for radiology technologists. The implementation of this new system had a positive effect on employee morale manifested in decreased turnover, less absenteeism and increased job satisfaction.
