Transfers serve a number of purposes. They are used to

give people broader job experiences as part of their development and to fill vacancies as they occur.
Transfers are also used to keep promotion ladders open

and to keep individuals interested in the work. For example, many middle managers reach a plateau simply because there is no room for all of them at the top. Such managers may be shifted to other positions to keep their job motivation and interest high.

member from one position in one job class to a position in another job class of decreased responsibility or complexity of duties and in a lower salary range.
