The Complete Guide to Internal Mobility
Internal mobility, talent mobility, or career mobility, refers to the movement of employees across roles or to a complete change in occupation within the same company. The acquisition of key talent is a top priority for any large enterprise. According to the latest Conference Board Annual Survey, attracting and retaining talent consistently ranks as the number-one internal stressor for CEOs and other C-Suite executives globally. PwC’s 2017 CEO survey states that chief executives view the unavailability of talent and skills as the biggest threat to their business. A company is only as good as its people, so it’s not surprising that the recruiting and retention of talent has become one of the most mission-critical issues for all large organizations. At Paddle, we believe that companies too often overlook their greatest source of talent: their own workforce.
