  1. Chart Their Course: Initiate talks to understand their career goals. Remember, it’s often about seeking new challenges, not just promotions. 
  2. Broadcast Opportunities: Spread the word about internal vacancies. Your loss might be another team’s gain, but it’s a win for the company! 
  3. Be Proactive: If someone’s eyeing a role, make introductions and engage HR. Show them you’re their advocate. 
  4. Celebrate Successes: Share tales of those who’ve successfully transitioned within the company. Inspire others to see their future here. 
  5. Clarity is Key: Outline the process, timelines, and logistics. Set expectations right to avoid disappointments. 
  6. It’s Business, Not Personal: Assure team members that seeking growth isn’t a betrayal. Encourage loyalty to their development. 

In essence, dear leaders, embracing internal mobility is not just about retaining talent but nurturing and evolving it. Creating a culture that encourages and supports internal shifts reinforces the message: “Your growth is our growth.”
