Companies that help employees build skills have higher internal mobility

Organizations that personalize career development and help their employees build skills also reap the rewards — with a 15% higher internal mobility rate than companies where employees lack training, according to an Oct. 3 report from LinkedIn.

At a practical level, when comparing two companies with 5,000 employees, this means the company that excels at developing skills will have 200 more internal moves over 12 months.

“We’ve long known that employees consider career-development opportunities to be one of the top reasons to stay at — or leave — their company,” Stephanie Conway, senior director of talent development at LinkedIn, said in a statement.

“The difficult but important work comes in better understanding what career development really means to our diverse employee populations,” she said.

To personalize career development, she advised, talent leaders can help their employees identify and set specific career goals. Armed with clarity, employees can develop a better understanding of which skills and specific experiences to pursue next. Then talent leaders can help employees explore different options — such as job shadowing, rotations or internal mobility options — to achieve their dreams while benefiting the company at the same time.

“While this can further personal career development, it also starts to build organizational resilience and agility,” Conway said.

In addition, LinkedIn reported that hiring is down 24% in the U.S. year over year, but job seekers appear to be more active than ever. In fact, the number of job applications that candidates submit has increased 18% in the past year.

In particular, jobs that mention artificial intelligence or generative AI attract more candidate engagement, garnering 17% greater application growth over the past two years.
