- Organizations are slow to recognize internal talent for job openings and employees are leaving for external opportunities – 62% of organizations lose employees to roles outside of the organization that could have been offered to them internally (Actus, 2021).
- There are three main barriers to internal hiring: a lack of formal process, poor communication of opportunities, and limiting mindsets from managers and employees.
