Internal Talent Mobility Takes Advantage of Future of Work Technology
This IDC Perspective discusses internal talent mobility taking advantage of future of work technology. Talent mobility, when done well, allows organizations to address global talent shortages, corporate culture continuity imbalances, talent attrition and retention challenges, and talent development shortcomings simultaneously. The business definition and approach to talent mobility has been shaped by a tighter market for talent with key, especially digital, skills and the acceptance of work taking place in less traditional locations made possible and approachable through future of work technologies. By developing a strategy to maximize talent mobility programs through improved workflows, digital space, and physical place utilization, organizations can make the most of these changes."Internal talent mobility is a small but mighty group within an organization whose decisions and actions influence the future leadership capability of the business they operate in. The leaders they are developing will shape the direction and viability of the organization. Even a marginal increase in effort in this team and resources can produce extraordinary results." — Bill Latshaw, research director, Worldwide Business Consulting Services, IDC
