  Internal Mobility last piece of content here as I lock in to
• 0:04
  work today. Internal Mobility is not a
• 0:07
  trend. I know a lot of people have been
• 0:10
  talking about. Hey, it's a nice Trend.
• 0:11
  It's a nice to hat. No.
• 0:13
  It's he must and a very precise and clear and structured.
• 0:18
  Internal Mobility plan must be baked into your organization
• 0:22
  ASAP. Internal Mobility is an answer
• 0:26
  to potential hiring issues. Lack of finances and and and
• 0:32
  resources around recruiting can help you with retention.
• 0:37
  Can help you with fostering a more Innovative and more
• 0:39
  engaged. Workforce internal Mobility has
• 0:42
  a lot of benefits that's run down some of those in a minute
• 0:46
  here. I think what I want to say at a
• 0:50
  macro level about internal Mobility is the the core value
• 0:54
  is help your managers. Help your supervisors, help your
• 0:59
  directors, help your vp's, help their teams do what their teams
• 1:06
  want to do. I think a lot of organizations
• 1:10
  feel like if you have an employee that starting to get
• 1:13
  quote on quote distracted, That that distraction will cause him
• 1:19
  to have a drop-off in productivity and I actually look
• 1:22
  at it completely different. When you have a certain
• 1:25
  employees where their roles are becoming a bit stagnant, a bit
• 1:29
  staled, and their eyes. And you could allow them to
• 1:33
  start to experience different things.
• 1:35
  Experience, different opportunities, utilize different
• 1:38
  skills that you maybe didn't even know that they had.
• 1:40
  And either utilizing those skills to make a bigger impact
• 1:43
  beside the business. But in a very diverse and
• 1:45
  creative way from their point of view, Now, you have a more
• 1:50
  engaged employee very similar to dating.
• 1:53
  I often, I often compare everything and bring everything
• 1:57
  back to dating at times. If your partner is starting to
• 2:01
  feel like the relationship here is a bit stale is a bit
• 2:06
  stagnant. Typically what you do is you
• 2:09
  start sprucing things up, going to new dates, trying new things.
• 2:14
  So same thing in business, Let's get into some really core
• 2:18
  operational benefits, though, attracting and retaining.
• 2:22
  From the attraction side. I guarantee you talk to your
• 2:25
  town today and you give them a clear roadmap of how you will
• 2:28
  give them an opportunity to test an experience new things.
• 2:33
  You say to them. Hey, every three months, your
• 2:35
  managers are going to sit down and talk to you and see if you
• 2:37
  have any ancillary skills and that we didn't know about and he
• 2:40
  desires to try and do different things.
• 2:42
  Maybe be a part of different teams.
• 2:44
  Maybe we take on Special Projects, if you say that to a
• 2:47
  talent or recruit an applicant, coming into your organization, I
• 2:52
  guarantee. See their eyes going to perk up.
• 2:54
  I guarantee the way that they look at your organization is
• 2:56
  going to be different, From retention standpoint.
• 2:59
  Again, once once employees inside of companies feel like
• 3:03
  their role is becoming stagnant. The role is becoming stale, you
• 3:08
  throw a new initiative, a new project to special project, a
• 3:11
  new focus at them. Neither neither their focus and
• 3:15
  attention as spiked and their double Downing on what is
• 3:19
  already on their plate. So let's say their productivity
• 3:23
  has dropped off three to five percent every every single
• 3:25
  month. And it hasn't dropped off enough
• 3:28
  to fire them, but it's definitely where you, like, this
• 3:31
  person seems a little engaged. Where are they?
• 3:33
  I'm trying to I'm trying to figure them out.
• 3:37
  You forgot the special projects on their plate, along with their
• 3:39
  core deliverables. They're going to focus on those
• 3:42
  core deliverables because they don't want to lose the
• 3:44
  opportunity to tap into the special projects.
• 3:47
  Retention. Saves time and money.
• 3:53
  Saves a lot of time and money. If you as an organization need a
• 3:57
  skill, need a new initiative to get off the ground.
• 4:00
  Need something to be developed, need something to be executed at
• 4:03
  a higher level, save money, save time.
• 4:07
  Save the pressure on your recruiting teams.
• 4:09
  Just find someone internally to do it.
• 4:11
  I guarantee if you put it out to the world you will find it.
• 4:16
  There are someone in your organization that has been dying
• 4:19
  to get into guest blogging. There's someone in your
• 4:21
  organization that has a Coating in a product background that has
• 4:23
  been dying to be on the product. Team, you have someone in your
• 4:26
  organization that has relationships from a PR
• 4:28
  perspective. From a speaking perspective,
• 4:30
  from a chroma product strategy perspective, you have people on
• 4:34
  your team that you have not thoroughly vetted to understand
• 4:37
  what are some of the ancillary skills that they have.
• 4:41
  That are interesting to them, that can be impactful and align
• 4:47
  with the organizational goals over the next 6, 12, 18 months.
• 4:51
  Improves engagement in morale. That's common sense.
• 4:55
  Don't need. You really need to expand on
• 4:56
  that but I will. Anyway engagement, they'll be
• 5:01
  locked in, they're being, they're doing something they
• 5:04
  want to do more Al Their energy. Their positivity will just
• 5:09
  increase through the roof guarantee.
• 5:13
  Flexibility, if you want to have folks that are a bit more
• 5:17
  flexible, a bit more willing to do things that are out of the
• 5:21
  box and go above and beyond and their core deliverables.
• 5:25
  Allow them to tap into internal Mobility, I guarantee their
• 5:28
  flexibility will work or improve rather well Spike.
• 5:33
  Lower the risk of a bad hire. There are so many organizations
• 5:38
  right now that are desperate to hire the right person.
• 5:41
  So they're taking 6 8, 12 weeks to find just that one key role.
• 5:46
  Maybe utilize an internal Mobility plan and take that one
• 5:50
  key role and 220 deliverables. That you want that one key role
• 5:54
  to execute against and fire two or three people and fractional
• 5:58
  and and fraction that the expectations in the roles and
• 6:01
  the tasks up across those folks, to lower your risk of having a
• 6:06
  bad hire, just don't put on their plate.
• 6:08
  It stay in the bed with a little bit.
• 6:10
  Be strategic, make sure it's not too much. and now you save
• 6:13
  yourself time energy, money and the risk of a bad hire and the
• 6:18
  last thing Workplace loyalty. Come on.
• 6:23
  We all know how important that is.
• 6:26
  You will have workplace loyalty if you if you right now give me
• 6:30
  the opportunity to take my podcast and have it impact.
• 6:34
  My efforts inside of a company to take my ability to build
• 6:37
  relationships and have an impact.
• 6:38
  The company to listen to my ideas on product strategy, or a
• 6:42
  new Revenue, if you take ideas that I had and not just me,
• 6:45
  anyone has, and you actually put them into motion inside of Your
• 6:50
  company, do you know the amount of loyalty the amount of
• 6:52
  Engagement the amount of respect and what you have for that
• 6:55
  brand? It's going to spike through the
• 6:57
  roof. It's a fact.
• 7:01
  And so, a lot of companies forget that a lot of companies
• 7:05
  don't take that. Seriously, a lot of companies
• 7:07
  don't spend a lot of time energy and resources thinking about
• 7:10
  that. Human behavior psychology.
• 7:16
  Human beings in general are very simple.
• 7:19
  Very simple. Give them what they want.
• 7:24
  Listen to them, support them, engage with them.
• 7:30
  Be sure to giuk. Put them in the best position to
• 7:34
  win and put them in the best position to do what they
• 7:37
  actually want to do. I'm not saying take off their
• 7:42
  core deliverables. I'm just saying make some tweaks
• 7:44
  and adjustments to bed with, make some tweaks and adjustments
• 7:47
  to your team design. Make some tweaks and adjustments
• 7:49
  to how their role is going to be judged and assessed and
• 7:53
  measured. And have it be a little bit more
• 7:56
  of a 50-50. Win-win on both sides.
• 8:00
  Little bit of flexibility. So as always, just a few
• 8:04
  thoughts, just a few perspectives.
• 8:08
  We'll talk soon. We'll talk soon.
