Is This Happening In Your Company

Hi
I don't see a problem with that unless the 2 positions are in conflict with one another. This should be initially noticed when the 2 positions are combined.
I hold 2 designations and these are combined in my job title. First half of the week I do one job and the other half of the week I do the other - no problems there and since the company realised I could handle both these jobs alone and quite efficiently - they gave it to me - 5 yrs now.
Hope that gives you an example.
Cheers

Holding two designations by a single person happens not only in private companies but also in govt. organisations, when one incumbent is given additional charge of another post.
But the care taker incumbent cannot claim remunaration for both posts.

It depends on what negotation he had with his current boss/Management. He must have asked for a position change to the other dept and he would be handling dual roles to get trained while he is transferring the other roles to a new person. Perceptions is 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 above statement is true of.

Hi,
Dual role may lead to overlapping of reporting relationship.It is possible to have a communication gap with such type of organization .This phenomena can be witnessed frequently in a mid sized companies and small firms runned by family owned people .Building a factor of trust among employees depends upon the person who is performing the dual role .Companies should have a well defined career path else it will create a culture of favouratism in an organization.Other employees must also get a chance of learning new skills .:icon1:

Hi All,
The question suits me perfectly.
I am working in mnc.
I am responsible for 4 departments.
As Financial Accountant
As Warehouse Logistics - Dealing with 5 Warehouses
As Sales Coordinator
As IT Manager
My perception is if people are capable of handling multiple task then we should ecnourage them.
Now a days companies prefer to recruit such multi task personalities.
I myself a Jack of All Trade and King of few
It is my view
thanks

Hi Fay!
