secondees
Temporarily transferred workers
Secondees are employees temporarily assigned to work for a different organization, department, or location than their regular employer.
The arrangement benefits both parties—the receiving organization gains expertise without permanent hiring, while secondees develop new skills and perspectives.
Three secondees from the London office joined our team for six months.
The singular is secondee.
