Holistic Considerations for Internal Mobility

Holistic Considerations for Internal Mobility

This IDC Perspective discusses holistic considerations for internal mobility. Dynamic skills evaluation and recognition prioritize matching talent to where organizational objectives and key results (OKRs) can best be met as the organization adapts to meet evolving operational conditions. As the mandate for skills translates to TA and TM teams, TM teams must interface with TA teams to ensure that internal candidacy and adjacent talent supply recognition account for holistic factors around skills that impact the quality of employee engagement, connection, and performance. "Skills are just one component of the equation for how organizations can optimize their talent against a backdrop of organization adaptability," says Zachary Chertok, IDC research analyst for Employee Experience. "Organizations must look at the full picture of how employees engage and perform at work with respect to the skill sets they use for assigned tasks and divisional roles. While internal mobility correlates to improved retention, employers must be careful to consider all the factors as to why employees join and stay with the organization as they optimize skills-based placement to balance through retention and performance."
