HSE job evaluation scheme saw almost every single applicant promoted

A HSE audit showed 94% of 982 employees who applied for evaluation were promoted by at least one grade.

A HSE job evaluation scheme saw almost every single applicant promoted and given pay increases, including more than 130 staff jumping at least two grades. 

The audit, which saw some applicants receive pay hikes of up to €21,000, has been described as "unsatisfactory" by an internal audit.
