Why Internal Mobility Needs to Be Part of Your Talent Strategy

Internal mobility has become imperative – and will likely remain valuable after the pandemic crisis has passed.

A shift toward teams and projects in a more dynamic workplace along with a new openness to alternative work arrangements drive interest in internal mobility. The tight talent market prior to the pandemic crisis had already forced many managers to embrace internal mobility to fill critical roles, but pandemic-induced hiring freezes have reinforced that trend. 

Internal mobility also interests companies implementing agile ways of working: As leaders reconsider assumptions about how work gets done, many are moving toward a dynamic mix of work arrangements – what consulting company Accenture has called the “liquid workforce.”
