At the senior management levels, job rotation- frequently referred to as management rotation, is tightly linked with succession planning- developing a pool of people capable of stepping into an existing job. Here the goal is to provide learning experiences which facilitate changes in thinking and perspective equivalent to the "horizon" of the level of the succession planning.


For lower management levels job rotation has normally one of two purposes: promotability or skill enhancement. However, an under reported aspect of job rotation is an increase in income for the people who participate regardless of whether or not there is a promotion involved. This level of rotation is frequently the most contentious. In many cases senior managers seem unwilling to risk instability in their units by moving qualified people from jobs where the lower level manager is being successful and reflecting positively on the actions of the senior manager.
