Managers today are expected to lift performance and plan internal mobility & succession across diverse, fast-changing teams. Doing this well requires reliable structure and insight - not more manual effort.
As teams evolve, it becomes harder to maintain a clear view of collective skills, experience, and potential. Current, structured insight is essential for building high-performing teams and employee career development.

If you are looking for a enterprise wide solution, partnering, HRIT Integration or White-Label - lets talk.
Internal mobility is when people are supported to move within an organisation into another role in the same team, or another team altogether.
It usually requires some planning and training and new skill development in advance to be successful. It is a key way to retain staff and lift engagement, as most people's learning curves are between 2-3 years - so after that timeframe they will be seeking career and new skill development.
So helping people by having a career plan and enabling them to be internally mobile and move between roles, is a key strategy for retention.
The most important relationship in building an effective employee career development programme, is between the manager and their employee.
Managers are responsible for onboarding, developing and supporting people to grow, be engaged and productive in their role. This naturally leads to considering the individual employees career development needs.
What's critical to building an effective programme is
1) Insight on the employees full talent, needs, and career goals
2) Understanding their vision and goals for their future - knowing what roles or opportunities they are interested in and
3) Supporting them to transition successfully into those roles by offering them relevant learning & development resources.
Career Planning systems like Actvo help with this by providing employees and managers a proven method for developing a plan, and executing it.
Best practice for employee development coaching is when it's done by managers.
However most haven't been trained in career planning or career coaching, and many don't have the time to support all their team members 1-1. Research indicates 75% of employees never receive career development coaching, and lack of career planning is one of the top drivers of dis-engagement and churn.
So many companies are turning to external providers to support their employees with career planning and employee development. The three most popular ways this is done is through 1-1 Coaching, skills-training & L&D platforms, and specialist Career Planning & Coaching platforms, like Actvo.
1-1 coaching delivered by people, is expensive and it's hard to find the right 'fit' between coach and coachee. It also creates complexity with scheduling and evaluating effectiveness of the broad range of coaching styles.
However for some people it is the right choice, especially when complex issues or challenges are holding someone back from progressing in their career, or the person holds a very senior role so change is high-risk. However for most people and employees, career or employee coaching software platforms like Actvo, are a lower-cost, more standardised option.
They provide employees with proven processes for understanding their needs, setting goals, choosing a career direction and implementing career change by gathering the required skills & experiences needed to enable a successful change. They also reduce human bias, and are available 24/7 to support people.
A preferred method by a lot of neuro-diverse employees or those with high cultural diversity.
