What is internal mobility and why is it important?
So you have found yourself wondering just what is internal mobility and how can it help you on your career journey with Senior Resource Group?
Internal mobility is when organizations facilitate new opportunities for employees within the company. This means everything from lateral career development opportunities across an organization, to prioritizing internal promotions, to the availability of leadership development opportunities.
Embracing internal mobility is a key part of an effective and rewarding workplace, and yet, it can be an elusive thing - surveys have found 50% of respondents claiming that it is easier to find a new job outside of their current workplace.
At Senior Resource Group (SRG), statistics like these don't sit well. Creating an environment that fosters collaboration, exceptional care, and a workplace where employees are empowered is the cornerstone of how SRG operates.
What is internal mobility - the good, the challenging, and the advantageous
Internal mobility is a great way to find positive career progression. Just some of the many benefits of internal mobility include:
- Building Better Workplace Cultures - Companies that promote internal mobility create supportive workplace cultures. This means workplaces where every employee feels valued and supported to pursue new challenges.
- Roles are Filled Faster - By supporting internal mobility programs, SRG works to fill roles fast. This means getting the right people in the right roles quickly.
- The Opportunity to Grow Your Skills - Internal mobility creates great development opportunities for people. This means employees can explore and build on their skills to both move laterally and vertically on the career ladder, creating robust leadership development opportunities.
There are some challenges to internal mobility too. These challenges include things like not having the right role for the right employee at the right time, or budgeting issues that make it difficult to facilitate effective internal mobility programs.
To combat these challenges, SRG supports its employees throughout their career journey. We work with employees to ensure that they have the best opportunity to progress in the right role, at the right time for them.

For SRG team member Maria, who started as a caregiver, this meant that through hard work and support from the SRG team, she earned a promotion to a Medication Aide position, and now is finding fulfillment in her role as Director of Assisted Living.
