Hi Fay,
Being in HR, a person needs to think according to the company's benefits. There is a good way to reduce the cost of the company by leveraging employee capabilities. An experienced individual in their required field can handle situations effectively.

Hi,
It is fine that the person is capable enough to handle both responsibilities. However, he cannot hold two designations officially at one time. He can be either the Assistant to the chairman or the Commercial Officer, handling the second responsibility.

In regards to your query, an employee cannot be given two different designations; however, he can perform two different roles. How efficient and capable the person is depends. In my wife's organization, it was the same scenario. She was appointed as an EA to MD; however, she was performing a role of Sales Coordinator as well as handling resignee deck. But her designation was of an EA. The functional line of reporting was to the MD; hence, there were no issues.
My point to you is that a person can multitask, and organizations look out for people with these qualities. But dual designation is not a good concept to be followed.

Hi All,
This usually happens in smaller organizations but is not the right thing to do. As a successful organization, we need to nurture careers and not just focus on the work being done. In this case, the individual in question is engaged in two different types of work. We are neither advancing his career nor fostering an environment free of conflicts. There may be conflicts of interest, disagreements on supervisory directives, and so on.
Most importantly, when this individual realizes he is being 'used', he may choose to resign, and as a result, the company will suddenly have a reduced workforce by '2' people.

hi Fay, I think, one person may handle many responsibilities but not two designations. because he cannot do justification for both. regards sadhana

There are no rules to prevent such arrangement. Depends entiely upon the organization as well as the individuals capacity.

Hi Fay,
I think it should not be this way... in a way, it will not give role clarity to the person, and he will have problems in his appraisals as well if the ratings of both managers are at the extremes.

Hello Fay,
I am a new buddy on this site. In response to your question, I believe that ethically, a person should not work in two designations simultaneously. However, as Sujata mentioned, it may depend on the specific designation. For instance, an executive assistant can likely manage additional responsibilities. Conversely, it may not be feasible for someone working as a recruitment executive to hold another designation.
