Job rotation programs have been used as a common leadership development method in large organizations. Now they are being used for other key positions within companies so that organizations have available bench strength and talent pools available when labor is needed. They are also being used to cross-train staff who may be needed during temporary vacancies, such as illnesses or medical leaves.
Business disruptions can occur when companies do not have the right employees available at the right time. Employees resign or are taken away from key positions for other reasons, such as business growth or leaves.
In addition, job rotation programs are an excellent tactic for providing skill and career development that early career workers desire in their employee experience.
