Redeployment
The organizational response that preserves headcount by moving workers (often after reskilling) into roles where the organization has unmet demand. IBM's AskHR deployment is the closest available example: the freed investment was redirected toward engineering, sales, and marketing, though the mechanism was a backfill pause rather than person-by-person transfers.
Defined in 3 GAGE programs, which carry 3 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in AI Literacy & Professional Conduct.
How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.

An "ends" fate realized by moving the person into a "changes" or "grows" role, often one the same AI deployment created. The path the workforce map is built to enable, which is why the growth analysis is not optional and why reskilling must be funded early.
Moving an employee whose specific tasks have automated into a different function where their strengths still apply, preserving institutional knowledge rather than losing it.
