Department directors block internal transfers of strong staff, saying they will not "let good people go." How should senior HR treat internal mobility?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Hoarding talent is how a city turns a bench into a cage. Those people belong to the enterprise, not to one director's comfort. Senior HR has to run internal movement as a citywide strategy and overrule the veto.
Full Explanation
Internal job movement is an enterprise talent strategy, not a departmental courtesy. Directors who refuse to release strong employees create hidden vacancies, flight risk, and stalled careers. Senior HR should set mobility rules that overrule hoarding while planning reasonable transition time for the losing unit. Honoring vetoes, conditioning moves on overstaffing, or hiding applicants as externals does not manage movement.
