Internal talent mobility – a promising solution
In response to the ever-changing business landscape, organizations should focus on creating a
sustainable workforce model through internal talent mobility (or internal mobility), which is not an
entirely new concept but one that is undergoing significant evolution.
⚫ Its scope has evolved drastically to include movement in terms of skills, visibility, opportunities, and
career growth
⚫ There are many approaches to implementing internal mobility, ranging from unstructured, ad hoc
internal job postings to full-fledged, systematized programs with company-wide adoption
⚫ It can be role or project based, involve vertical or lateral movement, or include transfers and global
mobility. Internal mobility today involves a skills-based evaluation of capabilities as opposed to
traditional methods of role-based hiring

⚫ The benefits are more holistic – it improves employee engagement and the employer brand,
enhances diversity across the workforce, and develops resilience in times of crisis
