Internal Mobility Is Back in Focus

24 June 2026
Many organisations are discovering that some of their best future hires are already part of the business.

Internal mobility conversations are becoming more common as employers focus on retaining capability, supporting career development and improving workforce flexibility.

Creating clear pathways for employees doesn’t just improve retention. It also strengthens organisational capability over time.

Sometimes the next great hire is already sitting in the next office.

“Queensland Government has an opportunity to think beyond agency boundaries when it comes to workforce capability. The skills needed for the future already exist within our public sector, we need to ensure pathways exist for people to grow, move and contribute across government. Internal mobility isn’t simply a retention strategy; it’s one of the most effective ways to build future capability, develop emerging skills and strengthen the public sector for the challenges ahead.”
