the progression idea has to be the one to follow I think - the opportunity to progress year on year, across all grades of staff. This certainly exists for higher level grades in all large companies (less sure about smaller outfits?). It seems particularly needed at 'digger' level which is generally currently constrained to one, or maybe two if you are lucky, points on a salary scale, so you end up with the situation where a new graduate with no field experience except a few weeks uni training dig is very quickly paid the same as someone with a full skill set with a nice balanced portfolio of experience. That simply can't be fair.
I would also say there needs to be a realisation of the need to learn and take some personal responsibility for developing your own abilities. As Host says, you have to be worth the cash.
