The need for extra resources in our organization can arise with very short notice. Perhaps an employee is leaving the company, or there is a parental leave, sick leave or a special project that needs to be handled. These kinds of situations can be handled in a better way than just contacting the local consulting firm to fill the temporary need for a replacement.

Bringing in an employee from another Volvo unit, will bring new industry knowledge to him or her, as well as to the host unit and the home unit. The short-term assignment is also a benefit and personal development for the individual, including international working experience, working in a different cultural environment and a valuable step in the career development plan.
