Podcast 226: Closing skill gaps from within: the case for internal mobility

In a tight labour market and amid rapid skills change, organisations face growing pressure to retain critical capability and reduce reliance on external hiring. Yet many employees still can’t see a future inside their organisation, and unclear progression continues to drive attrition. Could strengthening routes for internal mobility provide the strategic response needed to address these challenges?

Join Nigel Cassidy and this month’s guests — Laura Ibbotson, Interim Head of HR at The Green Spark Group; and Sarah Lardner, Director of Business Innovation & Senior Reward Principal at Innecto Reward Consulting.


In this episode we explore:


  • Why has internal mobility become such a critical issue for organisations today, particularly in the context of skills disruption, retention pressures and changing expectations of progression?

  • What does effective internal mobility look like in practice, and what organisational, cultural or managerial barriers most often prevent it from working well?

  • How can stronger internal mobility deliver meaningful business outcomes and what role do people professionals play in making it sustainable and trusted?
