Refers to an employer strategy of moving employees into different roles, assignments, or out of the organization based on their skills, adaptability, and future potential. Traditionally, the term has described structured programs where employees rotate across departments or functions to broaden experience, build skills, and prepare for leadership. Increasingly, in the context of rapid technological change (including artificial intelligence), talent rotation can also involve reassessing workforce readiness: employees whose skills are adaptable may be retrained or redeployed into new roles, while those who cannot—or choose not to—adapt may be rotated out of (exited from) the organization.
