lateral movements

Lateral movements refer to shifts or transitions within a system that do not involve upward or downward advancement but rather a change in position or role at the same level. In various contexts, such as career progression or organizational structure, this means moving from one job or department to another at the same hierarchical level. Lateral movements can enhance skills, broaden experiences, and foster collaboration, allowing individuals to contribute differently without seeking a promotion or demotion. This flexibility can benefit both employees and organizations by encouraging innovation and adaptability.
