Career Development & Internal Mobility: How to Grow Talent Without Losing Them | EP8

What happens when a talented employee is ready to grow—but there is no promotion available? Do they wait? Do they move sideways? Or do they leave the organization to find their next opportunity somewhere else? In EP8 of the People & Performance Talent Management Masterclass, we explore CAREER DEVELOPMENT & INTERNAL MOBILITY—and how organizations can create meaningful career opportunities without treating promotion as the only form of career growth. In this episode, you'll learn: ✓ What Internal Mobility means ✓ Career Ladder vs Career Lattice ✓ Promotion vs lateral career moves ✓ Job rotations, stretch assignments and project-based opportunities ✓ Internal Labor Market thinking ✓ Boundaryless Career thinking ✓ Resource-Based View and internal talent capability ✓ Why Talent Hoarding can become an organizational problem ✓ How an Internal Talent Marketplace works ✓ The Internal Mobility Engine ✓ How Internal Mobility connects with IDPs ✓ The 70–20–10 Career Development Model ✓ How managers can have better Career Growth Conversations ✓ Practical Internal Mobility metrics THE INTERNAL MOBILITY ENGINE VISIBILITY ↓ OPPORTUNITY ↓ MATCHING ↓ DEVELOPMENT ↓ MOBILITY ↓ REVIEW One of the most important ideas in this episode: CAREER GROWTH ≠ PROMOTION ONLY. Sometimes the best next career move isn't upward. It may be a lateral transfer, job rotation, stretch assignment, cross-functional project or another opportunity that gives the employee the experience they need to grow. We also connect Internal Mobility with the previous episodes of the Talent Management Masterclass: EP5 — Individual Development Plans How do we develop talent? EP6 — Leadership Readiness How do we know they're ready? EP7 — Succession Planning Who could fill critical roles? EP8 — Internal Mobility How do we give people the experience to get there? Development creates capability. Mobility creates experience. Experience builds readiness. Readiness strengthens succession.
