What are the main benefits of interchange?

A summary of benefits to the employee, the Department and the host employer.

An employee exchange has many benefits for the employee, the Department and the 'host' employer (the organisation that is exchanging staff with the Department).

The employee will:
  • learn about different organisations
  • develop new skills and knowledge
  • learn to adapt to new challenges
  • build contacts.
 The Department will:
  • improve the quality of its policy-making by promoting the exchange of ideas
  • have a more diversely skilled staff
  • increase the number of staff with experience of the local government, private and voluntary sectors, other departments and agencies.
The host employer will:
  • get a fresh perspective on its operations
  • obtain first-hand advice on how to manage its relations with the Department and have input into the Department's work
  • identify useful future contacts
  • benefit from the experience of the secondee.
