As technology progresses the way business is done, the mobility of highly skilled workers is increasing. Mobile talent effectively disperses information and boosts innovation, performance, and knowledge. In turn, competition for talent is now influencing innovation policy initiatives across the globe. A 2009 research report from Bersin and Associates defines talent mobility as “a dynamic internal process for moving talent from role to role at the leadership, professional and operational levels.” The report goes on to say that in order for this to successfully happen, the organization must prioritize and execute well on implementing succession planning at all ranks, understanding individual skills, potential and organizational needs, and developing critical talent pools.
For employers with succession plans either non-existent or lacking maturity, reaching the level of true talent mobility will be daunting. But it’s not insurmountable. Join the Human Capital Institute to explore the critical steps one European organization took to reach this level and share best practices from around the globe.
