How it's used
Focuses specifically on the administrative act of moving an employee between departments or branches within the same organization. It implies a formal change in role rather than a promotion or demotion, though those may occur simultaneously. Use this when describing a lateral move or a change in work location initiated by management.
Examples
He was transferred last month and is now working at the branch office.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 轉工, which refers to quitting one company to start a job at a completely different one. 調職 strictly implies staying within the same company structure.
