Remember "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)"? A couple places personal ads seeking new partners, only to discover they were perfect for each other all along. Sound familiar? Too often, talent leaders obsess over external candidates while overlooking the incredible potential already on their teams. This session explores why internal mobility isn't just a retention strategy—it's a competitive advantage that requires us to "woo" our existing employees with the same energy we bring to external recruiting. 

Session Takeaways:

• Learn why investing in internal mobility delivers better ROI than constant external hiring
• Discover practical strategies for "wooing" current employees with the same intentionality you bring to external candidate experiences
• Understand how to create clear lines of progress and growth that make career pathways visible and achievable
• Explore the case for building dedicated internal talent acquisition teams that champion mobility from within
