Ultimately, talent mobility and implementing strategic mobility only matters to your organization if they have tangible outcomes, right? Here are a few pros and cons of talent mobility to consider. ✨ 𝙋𝙧𝙤 — 𝙍𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚 𝙏𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝘾𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙨: By empowering and energizing current employees with new opportunities, ways to grow, and strategic talent management, organizations can reduce turnover costs long-term. ✨ 𝙋𝙧𝙤 — 𝙄𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙅𝙤𝙗 𝙎𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: Motivated and engaged employees experience increased job satisfaction. Encourage learning new skills and facing challenges, allowing your team to operate at the edge of their abilities and find fulfillment in continuous growth. 🚫 𝘾𝙤𝙣 — 𝙐𝙥-𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙩 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙊𝙧𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙯𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘼𝙙𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: Getting organized for talent mobility requires dedication. Whether it's digitizing paperwork, reworking HR processes, or relying on current employees for information, the initial effort is undeniable. Luckily, Workforce Intelligence platforms are streamlining these efforts through Ethical AI to automatically create skills profiles, identify skill gaps at scale, and match individuals to opportunities based on skills. 🚫 𝘾𝙤𝙣 — 𝘾𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙊𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨: Creating a hub for learning and growth post-organization is crucial. Managing certifications, updating skills, and expressing enthusiasm for new projects should be easy and centralized. Workforce Intelligence can support your organization in creating a central nervous system for all talent decisions — aggregating all your role-based opportunities from your ATS alongside non-role based opportunities (projects, gigs, etc.) into a central opportunity marketplace for talent teams, people leaders, and employees to access. Of course, true talent mobility does not happen overnight. Think of it more as a goal for the future, where your organization makes changes on an ongoing basis to help mitigate losing talented people, engaging the talent you have long-term, and hiring even more strategically to fill any remaining gaps. As you do so, you will find that your employees take notice, respect your transparency, and feel a sense of shared commitment to the success of the organization and to succeeding in their new roles as they continue to grow under the support of the organization. #TalentMobility
