Are you capitalizing on the wealth of talent that exists within your organization? Overlooking the skills of current employees in favor of external hires is a common bias that can have a detrimental impact on employees’ morale and work against diversity, equity, and inclusion goals. Focusing on building a healthy internal mobility program, however, can foster a culture of inclusion and promote the development and progression of underrepresented talent.

In this ERE/TLNT article, I describe 5 key areas important for advancing DEI goals via internal mobility:

• Using data to accurately understand each employee group’s mobility challenges
• Creating a trusted, transparent internal mobility process
• Opening networks by developing programs to support underrepresented talent 
• Celebrating internal moves as a means of talent development

Above all, for internal mobility to drive DEI, your business must have a culture that celebrates mobility. This is created with visible leadership commitment.
