We know that career paths are now more like riding a rollercoaster than walking a tightrope and, as such, internal mobility has become essential for retaining your talent. Our audit makes it easy for you to get started by checking-in on your current practices and exploring how digital solutions can transform your employees’ perception of opportunities by staying right where they are.
73% of employees want to know about roles available within their organisation. The same study found that employees are much more likely to quit if they aren’t made aware of internal job opportunities. The issue is amplified because only 14% of employees say their organisation has helped them build a career development plan.
The Audit
Innovative internal mobility programmes will reduce your turnover and empower your teams to plan their career path within your organisation. Digital systems can support how this information is communicated with employees and subsequently, inspire their goals for progression. Our audit explores how your internal mobility works in practice and identifies a practical strategy for improvement, including how a digital system can work for you. So, here’s what is included in our internal mobility audit:
We complete a discovery phase to uncover the career paths available to your employees and how this is communicated with teams. We use your thoughts to highlight points of difference with your employees.
Your staff and stakeholders can give us a real insight on how internal mobility works in practice, what can be improved and how.
Anonymous feedback from staff based on a series of questions tailored in the discovery phase will help you get a 360 view of internal mobility and any challenges.
Beginning with an audit like this for Tesco, we went on to develop a self evaluation tool that supports internal mobility. The tool allows Tesco colleagues to explore roles across the organisation and see what skills they need to develop to build their career at the company.
It also highlights where Tesco needed to channel the training budget to plug their skills gaps, futureproofing their investments.
