[Infographic] 5 proven ways career mobility drives ROI

Employers are driving positive ROI from their talent development investments by focusing on this key lever: career mobility at scale.

The Josh Bersin Group’s largest study to-date on the L&D practices that drive critical talent, business and innovation business outcomes concluded that the #1 most impactful L&D is creating extensive career growth options.¹

And we are not surprised – our data shows that companies that work with Guild see an average return of $3 for every $1 spent on strategic education and skilling tied to career mobility.²

What is surprising, however, is that:

  • Only 1 out of 5 organizations provide extensive career growth opportunities to their workforce¹

  • And only 1 out of 10 are developing career pathways to move employees into high-priority areas¹

It’s 2023, and career mobility initiatives can no longer be relegated to the corporate back burner as a “nice to have” – so we’ve compiled the data that internal advocates need to prove career mobility is as good for their company’s balance sheet as it is for their employees.

The top 5 proven ways career mobility drives ROI are:

  • Internal mobility

  • Retention

  • Attraction

  • Education Outcomes

  • DE&I
