Creating dialogue between you and your team about their real needs. Locking in key staff - and reducing churn, becomes easier.

Jobs or Projects Matched to Skills & Experience

We de-risk the progression of people into new roles, by using our AI-matching algorithm to show you how exactly their skills & experience fit future opportunities. We can match real jobs, hypothetical - or in planning phases. Enabling you to plan accurately & set expectations for progression. Our AI-algorithm also suggests & matches 'future-of-work' jobs augmented by AI, that will be needed in your industry to remain competitive.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I build an internal mobility strategy for succession planning?

Succession planning is the long term plans that businesses put in place to ensure continuity of services, and reduce the risk of failure from unexpected loss of talent.  It normally targets high-value individuals in the firm, and ensure that they know how to retain and grow them, understand their risk of leaving, and have plans in place for who will replace them.  

Internal mobility is more of a tactical, short-term model for retaining employees by aligning their needs with internal opportunities for growth and expansion.  It focuses on keeping people engaged, through upskilling, retraining, and expanding their learning & creative competencies by actively encouraging the transition to other roles inside the organisation.  

So to develop an internal mobility strategy - it starts with knowing your employees goals and intentions really well.

This means giving them time to create a dialogue or narrative they feel comfortable sharing with you, and being open to exploring a range of potential internal moves, that don't threaten their employment contract.

Products like Actvo are a great way to start this dialogue, exploring options, and preparing people for internal mobility by authorising a trusted process across the team for them to self-direct their development of Career & Mobility options and plans they are confident discussing with you.

What is career mobility and how does it support talent retention?

Internal mobility (or career mobility) within organisations, 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 a new career or new skill development.  

So having a career plan and enabling people to be internally mobile and move between roles, is a key strategy for retention.

How do internal promotions strengthen company culture and performance?

Most companies want to retain and grow their talent, as the cost of hiring, training and managing employees is high.  By focussing on internal progression and performance and succssion plans, employers can save a lot of money on churn costs, and gain the benefits of employee loyalty, low disruption to culture, continuation of 'corporate memory' and internal specialist skill sets, and build cross-functional leadership capability by having people with specialist knowledge move across more than one part of the organisation.  

It's proven that businesses who focus on internal promotions and retain key talent enjoy higher productivity and lower churn costs.

Real people outcomes, for businesses that care.
