"What Is Secondment? Meaning, Definition & Advantages"

A secondment is a temporary transfer to another role or business area away from your primary job. It allows you to get first-hand experience of another industry, organization or job role, so you can truly understand what it involves.

Secondments can be internal – at a different department within your company, or external – at a sister company, or in a client’s or partner’s company.

Secondments do not usually occur between businesses that are not linked in some way.

External secondments can be more complex to arrange, as the legal details, including payment terms, need to be agreed in writing.

The original employer usually remains the official employer of the secondee, in an acknowledgement that they are ‘lending’ their employee to the other company.
