[Video] Opportunity Summit 2025
Unlocking Untapped Potential in Your Workforce
Speakers: Matthew Daniel, Sr Principal of Talent Strategy, Guild | Ron Hetrick, Principal Economist, Lightcast
Key Takeaways:
At a time when businesses need agility and dynamism, workforce mobility has fallen below pre-pandemic levels, signaling stalled career movement and slower talent growth.
Organizations stand out by creating clear career pathways and real internal mobility—but internal movement has remained largely flat for nearly a decade.
Companies that build career ladders and invest in growth retain talent and strengthen workforce stability.
Employees who experience internal mobility stay 62% longer on average, proving career growth fuels loyalty, improves retention, and reduces the costly impact of turnover.
Session description:
As companies look inward to unlock untapped talent, questions about what truly drives mobility are more urgent than ever. Which skills and roles open the most doors? What barriers still hold workers back? And how does educational attainment shape real-world outcomes? Hear Guild and Lightcast share fresh research into the state of mobility in the American workforce, and what it could mean for your organization.
