Functional mobility brings new life to teams while retaining top talent. It is a major asset for employees' career prospects.

What does functional mobility mean?

Functional mobility refers to the process by which an employee changes positions within the same company, without necessarily changing hierarchical level or work location. This type of mobility allows employees to develop new skills, acquire diverse experience and increase their employability while meeting the company's changing needs.

To be sustainable, a company must be able to adapt to changes in its market and internal needs. Functional mobility is a strategic lever for this.

When to resort to functional mobility in a company?

Opening an internal recruitment creates a need to fill in the company. Functional mobility will respond to several situations.

The job vacancy

A temporarily vacant position can be temporarily filled by an employee of the company: long illness, parental leave, resignation of a colleague.

Implementing a functional mobility policy

At all hierarchical levels and in each department, talented collaborators can be affected by functional mobility. To manage mobilities effectively, the human resources department must implement a rigorous internal policy.

Detect internal profiles

HR software are databases to exploit to search internally for talented collaborators likely to be interested in the new position.
