Organizations around the globe strive to acquire and develop the best talent they can find. It’s not an easy task in today’s economy and demographic situation. An important aspect that companies have to work with is talent mobility.
According to The Echelon Group, talent mobility is “The practice of moving people within an organization, in hopes that new skills will be gained and sharpened through the employees’ new roles and responsibilities..”
In a nutshell, it’s about giving employees the opportunity to develop beyond the usual linear career progression. Organizations that manage to do this are more likely to get the most out of their employees’ talents. It’s also good for retention rates as people are more inclined to stay if they see opportunities to grow.
