Hi, sorry for giving the statement like this... most of the companies will mention the appointment letter like this:

TRANSFER:
An employee may be transferred anywhere in South India, from one department to another or from one place to another or from one branch to another or from one post to another: in the interest of work of the Company, or on the request of the individual employee. Transfer within the same department is okay, why for other of it.... Are those who do not have perception skills the ones conducting the interview "whether the candidate is fit or not"? Why transfer again to another department? What is the feeling of the candidate? Better to remove this clause from the appointment literature.

The clause is important as it gives the flexibility to the company to deal with the workforce. If the management needs to transfer someone to another department, they have the flexibility to do so. If the employee does not want to work in that particular department, they can always find another job and leave (if they are capable of finding another job).

Why would the company transfer an HR person to sales? It would be a waste of resources and lead to a loss of sales. Such a move might only be justified if the individual possesses specific skills that the company wants to utilize or if there is an excess of staff that the company does not wish to terminate. In such cases, would it not be more appropriate for the employee to be laid off instead? If the employee is unhappy with the new role, they can always seek alternative employment. At least, for the time being, they still have a job.

Hello Ashok,

Seldom do I find this practiced. Anyway, I would like to shed some light on this situation -

While I was working with a placement consultancy, we had one girl with us who did an MBA in HR and Marketing. She was passionate about HR but was wasting her opportunity in a consultancy. She was assigned a position that was never filled as no one was willing to work for the client she had.

She was searching for a job, couldn't find an HR-related job, so she shifted to Marketing (in fact, a sales-related job) and is now happy.

Regarding the shift of an HR person to Marketing, a company might have done so for the following reasons:

1) The person is academically fit for marketing.

2) The person might possess some marketing or sales traits that they are not aware of.

These are the only two positive reasons I can think of on the company's side. However, if the person is not content with the transition, they should communicate their concerns to the seniors. Share the issues and understand why such a significant transition is being made.

If the person remains unconvinced, they should start looking for a new job and then resign, following proper formalities.

I hope this information is helpful.

Apart from the two positive reasons given by Ankita, there can be other reasons:

- He may not have been able to handle the HR job adequately, and Management was kind enough to offer him another opportunity in Marketing instead of asking him to leave.
- He must have developed a liking for Marketing, and the Management agreed to his request.

It would not be proper to generalize such isolated cases, which in statistics are considered outliers!

Warm regards.

The clause is necessary in my view since, in hotels, there are many employees who join as room attendants, stewards. They get a chance to study further, become graduates, and may want to change their field from room attendants to sales, HR, Admin, Accounts, etc.
