UK Talent Mobility in 2011

Talent mobility is the ability to rapidly and strategically move people from role to role and function to function as business needs change. As companies 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.
 
To further understand current attitudes and approaches to talent mobility in the UK, Taleo commissioned a comprehensive survey of 500 HR decision makers in large UK companies. The research finds companies at a talent tipping point – aware of the strategic importance of talent mobility but often held back because of data and systems shortcomings. While companies are at different points along the journey to true talent mobility, the survey demonstrates that those at a higher level of talent mobility sophistication are reaping the rewards of boosting the leadership pipeline, driving change and business growth, and generally improving business performance.
