Talent Mobility: The Need for Insight at the Point of Action

Talent mobility is the ability to rapidly and strategically move people from role to role and function to function as business needs change. As organizations increasingly focus on bolstering their internal talent pools to ready themselves for future challenges, talent mobility is firmly on the HR agenda. The need is to make the most of the people already in place by balancing the experiences and skills that organizations need to drive the business forward against the capabilities and aspirations of each individual.
 
Taleo commissioned surveys of HR decision makers in UK and Australian companies and found that organizations are at a talent tipping point – aware of the strategic importance of talent mobility but often held back because of data and systems shortcomings. This Taleo Research Brief provides key findings from these surveys, compares and contrasts the results from the UK and Australia, and provides recommendations to improve talent mobility through insights at the point of action.
