Hi,
I don't see a problem with that unless the two positions are in conflict with one another. This should be initially noticed when the two positions are combined. I hold two designations, and these are combined in my job title. The first half of the week, I do one job, and the other half of the week, I do the other - no problems there. Since the company realized I could handle both of these jobs alone and quite efficiently, they gave it to me - 5 years now. Hope that gives you an example. Cheers, HIRSI

Holding two designations by a single person happens not only in private companies but also in government organizations, when one incumbent is given additional charge of another post. However, the caretaker incumbent cannot claim remuneration for both posts.

It depends on what negotiation he had with his current boss/management. He must have asked for a position change to the other department, and he would be handling dual roles to get trained while he is transferring the other roles to a new person. Perceptions are a smoke filter. Confirm once again what's happening. You can take this in your grapevine talk with your colleagues and understand what's happening to this person and if the above statement is true.

Hi,
A dual role may lead to overlapping reporting relationships. It is possible to have a communication gap with this type of organization. This phenomenon can be witnessed frequently in mid-sized companies and small firms run by family-owned individuals. Building a factor of trust among employees depends on the person who is performing the dual role. Companies should have a well-defined career path; otherwise, it may create a culture of favoritism within the organization. Other employees must also have the opportunity to learn new skills.

Hi All,
The question suits me perfectly. I am working in an MNC. I am responsible for four departments:
1. Financial Accountant
2. Warehouse Logistics - Dealing with five Warehouses
3. Sales Coordinator
4. IT Manager
My perception is that if people are capable of handling multiple tasks, then we should encourage them. Nowadays, companies prefer to recruit such multitask personalities. I consider myself a Jack of All Trades and King of a few. It is my view.
Thanks,
