Unlocking Employees' Potential with Internal Mobility

No organization is immune to turnover. Whether losing new hires or saying goodbye to veteran team members, employee attrition is costly and causes inefficiencies across teams. While companies seek solutions to cure turnover, one existing solution is often overlooked - internal mobility.
 

Internal mobility is beneficial to both organizations and employees. For the company, it helps them retain valuable talent, reduce recruitment and onboarding costs, and foster a culture of continuous learning and development, which can lead to increased employee engagement and satisfaction.

For employees, internal mobility provides a pathway for career progression and professional growth, allows them to explore different roles, gain new skills and broaden their knowledge base, and also enhances job satisfaction and motivation.

It is thus becoming critical that companies facilitate internal mobility by encouraging employees to explore different career paths within the company and actively participate in their own development, and that of the company.

In How To Leverage Internal Mobility To Retain Employees, Paul Burani from Tech Elevator discusses why companies must invest in employees, rather than hire external candidates.
