Report | How do you measure up in the talent mobility stakes?

UK organisations are currently walking a precarious tightrope in today’s talent market; balancing the need to recruit skilled and engaged talent with the requirement to contain cost and remain flexible with an uncertain economic future ahead.

The additional challenge of contending with minimising talent losses, brought on by the changing attitudes to employment we’re seeing as we come out of the pandemic, makes it an interesting time to be an HR professional.

In Q1 of this year, we conducted a survey into how UK organisations are approaching talent mobility. We wanted to understand what current strategies are being used, and how UK firms plan to address their challenges over the remainder of this year. The results offer some useful insights into how organisations across the UK are managing the flow of talent.

The biggest shift in what organisations are currently doing to meet their resourcing demands, and what they intend to do in the coming months, is the reduction in dependence on contractors and the desire to promote more internal mobility.
