How Non-Financial Rewards Widen Workplace Inequality

The income gap is likely not the only place where some employees are earning more than others. Many companies give perks and benefits in place of monetary bonuses. However, these rewards are valued differently by each person and often serve to widen the earning gap.

Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter

Do you need to tell your boss if you’re applying internally?

When I used to work in talent acquisition within large school districts, I often got questions from staff about whether or not they had to inform their boss when applying for new roles within the organization. Every organization has different policies around this, but here are my general recommendations:

• When possible, you should connect with your manager about your interest in other roles. Hiring managers on other teams will likely not interview you or make you an offer until they conduct a reference check with your current manager, so it’s best they get the news from you. When you speak to your manager, share context around why you’re considering the role (an opportunity to grow as a leader, work in an office/campus closer to your home, do work more aligned to your training or past professional experience, etc.) and any relevant timelines you know of (i.e., interviews/start date). They’ll likely also be wondering if you plan on staying on their team if you do not get the offer or accept the offer, so be prepared for those questions.
• If you don’t have the best relationship with your current boss or have concerns about their response when they find out you’re exploring roles on another team, you may consider scheduling a confidential meeting with a member of your HR team to get guidance on how to approach applying internally.
• You might also consider reaching out to the hiring manager to schedule an informal meeting prior to applying to learn more about the role and determine if it’s a good fit for you and if you’re a competitive candidate. This will help you decide if it makes sense to invest time in the process and inform your manager.

Applying to internal roles can be tricky because, as opposed to applying for roles with other employers, your boss will likely be informed early on by you or the hiring manager. The way you approach this is likely dependent on your relationship with your current manager, your employer’s internal hiring policies, and your performance in your current role.
