Staff rotation is the movement of employees from one position to another without changing the place of work as a whole. The change of position can be horizontal or vertical. In the first case, the employee's place in the company's hierarchy is retained without expanding the qualification category. In the second, this is a new, higher position.
Personnel rotation is a phenomenon in management that became widespread in the 60s of the last century. Depending on the culture of the country, life principles and characteristics of the corporate culture of different regions, several types of rotation have appeared. For example, in eastern countries, an employee comes to the company at a young age and stays with it until retirement. Therefore, such companies use horizontal rotation as a way to increase motivation and protect against professional burnout. This practice is still popular in Japan, Singapore, India and other Asian countries. In the case of our professional culture, horizontal rotation has the greatest positive effect in companies with young employees whose area of interest has not been established. For Western and European culture, a more characteristic vertical rotation is career growth and exchange of experience.
