Since 2008 Utrak Financial Services Limited has adopted a job rotation program to help solve skills acquisition and performance problems. The problem the thesis attempted to investigate was that in addition to economic objective that every employee requires from his employer, when employee are allowed to perform the same transactional duties over many years, they feel bored and unsatisfied by doing the same kind of work over time. This development may affect job satisfaction and ultimately productivity. To achieve the objectives of the research, an exploratory and descriptive design were adopted aimed at assessing the impact of job rotation on employees’ performance. Questionnaires were administered to head office staff from the operations, Customer Service and Accounting departments. Structured interview was also employed to collect data. The study revealed that job rotation is an important programme for allowing employees to acquire new skills, enhance staff productivity, develop new relationships across the company and gain skills needed for future career advancement. However, respondents complained of not been made part of the implementation process. They also reveal that, the major challenges upsetting the programme were; resistance from superiors; resistance from employees and lack of adequate training before employee is moved to a new department. The participants in the job rotation programme who were interviewed expressed a high level of satisfaction with the programme. The study revealed that the respondent’s appreciate the effectiveness of job rotation programme in their organization. The researcher concludes by making recommendations to involve employees in the implementation process, use the programme to develop employees to increase their performance level. Also it is recommended that the programme must benefit both the employer and employee in the organization.
