# Domestic Rotational Assignments

December 2019

## **Domestic Rotational Assignments **

There has been considerable focus placed on rotational assignments over the past few  
years. Organizations’ growing and changing talent needs, contract work, and  
developmental programs have led to more demand for policies to support rotational  
assignments.

So what is a rotational program? A rotational program is intended to assign an employee  
to a location for a designated period of time to perform their job responsibilities. After  
that ends, they rotate to a new location, and so on. At some point, the rotations end,  
and the employee either returns back to where they started or settles in a new location.  
The Aires Pulse Survey Domestic Rotational Assignments examines who these rotational  
employees are, how and why they are rotating, and what types of expenses employers  
are paying on their behalf. The contents of this report are based on information provided  
by 42 different organizations with domestic rotational activity.

The survey asked what types of employees are being sent on rotational assignments. The  
answers included all types of employees ranging from graduates and new hires to  
executives. In all, there were 29 different types of employees named by the different  
respondents.

The most common type of employee on rotation is an engineer, cited by at least one out  
of every three respondents. There were several different types of engineers noted, such  
as chemical, software, applications, test, and field.

The next most common type of employee on rotation is one in a leadership  
development program, cited by at least one out of every six respondents. Managers and  
Finance employees tied for the next most common types, each cited by one out of  
every eight respondents.
