Seamless crossboarding with Wobee

In a company, there are 3 different types of internal mobility:

• Horizontal (or lateral) mobility: This involves role or job changes at the same hierarchical level. It allows employees to diversify their tasks or work environment and thus have a greater variety of projects.
• Vertical (or hierarchical) mobility: More commonly known as a "promotion," it involves a role change accompanied by increased responsibilities, higher hierarchical recognition, and often a salary increase. It responds to employees' need for progression and contributes to their fulfillment by rewarding the skills they've developed through experience.
• Geographical mobility: This involves a change of workplace for an employee who remains with the same company but moves to a new location, office, city, or even country. It often responds to operational needs but can also be requested by the employee. In both cases, it's like reliving the onboarding process they initially experienced when joining the company, with a need to adapt to new ways of working, contacts, and tools.

Tapping into your company's internal talent pool has many advantages in terms of finances, employer brand, and workplace quality of life:

• Control productivity: With an internal mobility policy, managing your human resources and pursuing your performance and growth objectives becomes simpler. It enables the reorganization of your workforce according to labor shortages and the reallocation of employees to different roles based on your needs.
• Focus on workplace well-being: Today, companies have no choice but to consider their employees' well-being and work-life balance in their HR policies. Internal mobility remains an important lever for workplace quality of life as it addresses employees' desires for well-being and growth, such as following a transferred partner, exploring a new culture, or taking on more responsibilities.
• Save time and money: It's a fact: internal recruitment costs much less and takes much less HR time than external recruitment. Since the "new employees" are already within the company, time spent searching for candidates and recruitment expenses are limited. Moreover, the role transition is much faster and easier for the employee who already knows the company culture, its operations, and departments.
• Increase employee retention: Talent retention is a real challenge for companies today fighting disengagement and labor shortages. Career management and considering employees' growth aspirations demonstrates your trust in them and helps retain and motivate them by offering a real career plan and development opportunities. Internal mobility is therefore a tool to convince top employees to stay rather than look elsewhere.
• Combat skill obsolescence: Internal recruitment is a great way to continuously train your employees to make them more productive and effective. As many jobs evolve rapidly and technological advances reduce the lifespan of many skills, internal mobility enables real upskilling (developing existing skills for the same role) and reskilling (helping people acquire new skills for a different role) policies.
