Today’s marketplace demands an agile workforce. Organizational structures have become fluid and flexible. As a result, career mobility has emerged as essential for individuals at all levels. No longer is mobility just about physical movement or the assuming the greater responsibilities that come with promotion.
Career mobility today is about flexibility and agility. It is a rich mix of experiences, roles, assignments, and options. Savvy careerists have come to appreciate the ability and willingness to explore multiple opportunities and experiences. To succeed is a rapidly changing environment employees need to recognize when new opportunities for growth emerge, and be ready with options when others fade or change.
Like the navigation systems we rely on to reroute our travels based on unexpected traffic congestion, shortcut options and last minute detours, a career mobility mindset will provide a foundation for resilience in a changing world of work.
Learning Objectives:
- Apply six mobility options to one's own career and the careers of others.
- Learn updated research about talent mobility and how it applies to the massive middle.
- Apply the techniques learned during this session with a partner as a skill practice.
