Skills and the Internal Mobility Advantage in Talent Acquisition


This IDC Perspective discusses skills and the internal mobility advantage in talent acquisition. When organizations implement strategies around internal mobility, they go beyond the organization's need to fill critical skills gaps toward aligning with a key reason that employees join and stay with the firm — feeling valued by the organization. Whether employees' sense of value comes from advancement or movement to realign with key skills and needs, their improved sense of value translates to improved partner engagements with other employees, managers, and clients. When companies empower and encourage employees to apply for internal work opportunities, employee engagement and retention are more likely to increase. "Employees have more options than ever even in tight labor markets as to where they will feel valued, where they can grow, and where their skills will be put to good use," said Alicia Mokwa, research director, Talent Acquisition at IDC. "Organizations are leaning into skills frameworks to support talent acquisition and talent management teams to work together to simultaneously source internally and externally for skills-best-fit candidates. Raising the prominence of internal mobility and expanding its scope is building retention by showing employees they can grow and will be invested in at the organization. At the same time, it is helping talent teams be ready to fill skills gaps even if the top candidate pulls out."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
