Transfer can be possible because of using any extraordinary skill/talent of employee in different department. To rectifying the mistake of inappropriate posting by the employer in the organization.

Points to be considered by a manger at the time of writing transfer letter:

For transfer, company must make a clear policy to make the equality in the organization and so the fillings of dissatisfaction can be controlled easily. In absences of this system, there are chances of reduction in motivation of employees. If possible than do transfer by giving advance instruction to your employees for his/her mental preparation.
