Types of Employee Transfer
Employee transfer is an important task that has to be carried out by a human resources management wing. An employee of an organization could be transferred from one branch to another due to many reasons. Let us list them out as Production, Replacement, Remedial, and versatility.
Production transfer is the type of transfer carried out with the consent of the employees. This could be to another department of the same office or to another branch. This can be done because of employee shortages in that particular department.
The second one is replacement transfer. This could be done when an employee retires from the firm or resigns from the post. In such situations, an employee may be transferred to that particular branch to manage the responsibilities. This could also be done to reduce workload.
Remedial transfer or the third type of transfer can be made if an employee you have hired for a particular department is not suitable for that department. A person may be able to perform well in another department and if the HR team or his team manager notes this scope he may be transferred to another wing.
Versatility transfer is an important type of transfer. In this kind of transfer management, employees are transferred to different departments or branches just to gain some knowledge about the operations in each of these departments. This is also called rotation transfer. Here the transfer is done to ensure that the company get the support of a versatile team of employees
Shift Transfer: This can be the method of transferring an employee from one shift to another.
Penal Transfer
In some cases, the transfer can act as a method of penalty.
