Job Description

Job rotation is an excellent way to develop. KONE supports job rotation by having all open positions posted in the intranet and by having global guidelines for employees and managers to make job rotation smooth. Employees and managers are encouraged to discuss about job rotation opportunities both in the Performance Discussion (PD) and also in team meetings or other events where suitable.
