Top advice from our expert panel:
An internal mobility strategy starts with scenario planning and skill identification
It’s crucial to understand the key skills you need to retain, and the skills you need to develop in any number of scenarios that can arise from the current economic environment.
Plan for a number of scenarios and which skills you’ll need to retain to spot areas where skills need to be developed aggressively, and where you’ll need to acquire new talent. Remember; this can only be done when you have 100% visibility over the skills you have in your workforce today.
Take a three-pronged approach to understanding the skills you need
Every business is currently undergoing some form of transformation, and to continue growing, or navigating current economic pressures, you need to start with getting a good view of the skills you need now and in the long-term vision for your business.
Secondly, review the current skills you have and what’s missing between those two spaces. And thirdly, understand what your people want and where they’re willing to grow, reskill and develop. You can’t mobilize your workforce without first knowing they want to be mobilized.
Adopt a skills-based mindset to mobility
For many organizations, mobility is seen as simply moving people out of jobs, into other roles, or promoting them.
Instead, people leaders need to take a skills-based mindset and focus on building the toolkit or backpack of skills for their people — what new skills can you acquire into roles, and what skills can you further develop by mobilizing your people? What skills are transferable and be applied to a new position or even department? That’s mobility in a future age.
Strike a balance between your talent teams
Without a balanced approach to your workforce strategy, you’re at risk of paralyzing one part of your strategy, or worse, your business.
Taking a macro approach to your workforce strategy allows you to marry together talent acquisition, talent management, and talent mobility teams to work towards one singular strategy and hire the right people, develop the right skills and mobilize the right parts of your workforce.
Take this time as your moment to enact a Zero Wasted Potential strategy
Now is the time for people leaders to help businesses optimize their workforces and avoid the pains of the past. We’re invited to have a seat on the strategic business agenda and cannot waste it.
Design your workforce mobility strategies to retain the people you have, fill skills gaps and place the right people with the right skills in the right place to not just survive but thrive through the coming months and years.
