High turnover and skills gaps can feel like a massive problem, but what if the solution was surprisingly simple? A successful internal mobility program—one that retains your best talent and keeps your team agile—doesn't have to be a daunting overhaul. It can start with just two minutes.

This is the core of our approach: we combine strategic vision with tactical, manageable actions. The event, "Upskill and Retain: A Practical Guide to Internal Mobility," will outline the essential framework for building a powerful system to retain talent and close skills gaps. It provides the "what" and the "why," giving you the blueprint for a future-proof workforce.

Small Steps, Big Shifts

So, how do you get there without feeling overwhelmed? That's where the "2-minute approach" comes in.

This principle, detailed in our recent article, helps you break down large-scale change into small, actionable steps. For an internal mobility program, this could be as simple as:

A two-minute conversation with an employee about their career goals.
A two-minute review of a team member’s skills on an internal profile.
A two-minute message to a colleague in another department to discuss a potential internal role.

By integrating these small, intentional habits, you create a foundation for a more engaged and resilient workforce, one step at a time. It's how you turn a massive undertaking into a series of achievable wins.
