In many organizations, it’s easier for employees to find a new job at another company than to transfer to a different team internally. But what if moving between teams was easy, encouraged, and part of the company culture? In this talk, I’ll explore how creating opportunities for internal mobility can significantly increase employee engagement, reduce churn, and improve business outcomes.
I’ll share practical strategies for enabling internal moves, from simple team swaps to structured internal hiring processes. We’ll also look at an initiative called the “Transfer Window,” designed to remove barriers to internal movement by making it a transparent and supported process. By fostering a culture of internal growth, you can retain top talent, increase engagement, and build a more adaptable workforce.
Key takeaways:
- How to implement internal mobility initiatives like team swaps and internal hiring processes.
- Practical strategies to improve employee engagement and retention through internal transfers.
- Insights into reducing the costs of employee churn by fostering a culture of internal growth.
- Ideas for encouraging managers to support internal mobility as part of their leadership practice.
