One tactic employers are using to help reduce burnout, as well as test out possible transfers is job swapping. More companies are using job rotation and swapping for more levels of their employees. These swaps help develop new skills and increase collaboration betwixt different groups. Employers and employees both say that the swaps are a valuable tool and increase understanding and connections across the company.
