Frequently asked questions

Is a department change the same as a transfer?+

A department change usually happens within the same location; a transfer often means a change of place.

Does a department change need the employee's consent?+

It depends on the appointment terms. Many letters allow reassignment within the company, but discussing it first is good practice.

Will my appraisal be affected?+

Your appraisal should take into account time in both departments, with input from both managers.
