The Work Besties Culture Podcast

Let’s Talk About Internal “Poaching”

Season 1 Episode 8

Internal mobility—promoting or transferring talent within the organization—can be a powerful

tool for retention, engagement, and growth. But when companies say they support internal

transfers, are they truly prepared to follow through?

In this episode, we unpack what internal mobility really means and explore the

behind-the-scenes decisions that leave companies unprepared to support the very moves they

claim to champion. From policy to practice, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it takes to

make internal transfers work—for the business and for the employee.
