I am currently working in a mid-level company, where the current scenario is that company is into losses, due to which this year the company did not give the annual increment to the employees.

Due to which many employees have resigned the positions. Just to maintain the balance of the number of employees in each department, my director is shuffling the entire department (i.e. he is transferring a person from ABC dept. to XYZ dept.). Let me specify that this is not promotion of any employee but he is doing this so that the business is not affected and he doesn’t run into any further losses.

The problem here is that the employees are very much stressed and are unable to handle this, due to which the work is getting delayed by each department. And after this transfer the number of resignation has increased. I request you to kindly suggest a solution as to how to cope up with this situation as it is really being very stressful.

Dear Sunanda,

When companies start making losses, management leaves no stone unturned to reduce costs. In your case, personnel are transferred from one department to another to utilize or optimize the available manpower. Nevertheless, what matters is maintaining the productivity of the department or the organization itself. Productivity can only be maintained if the right persons are given the right job. Skill level and expertise matter greatly in handling specific jobs. If, in the course of these transfers, productivity decreases, it could defeat the very purpose of these transfers.

Thanks,

Dear Sir,

My sincere thanks to you for your time. I will definitely ensure that the suitable skilled personnel are transferred to another department. They can work on it efficiently so that the productivity of the company is not hampered.

It is important to inform employees or take them into confidence before transferring them. The reasons for 'reorganizing manpower' have to be communicated during such a meeting. I hope you have done this before issuing the transfer letter.
