What is Internal Mobility and why is it important?
At Greene King, we are on a journey to create an environment where everyone enjoys and has access to equal opportunities and career progression.
Did you know that out of all the major industries worldwide, in 2022 only four had a 50% or higher share of female workers? That’s why equal opportunities and internal career progression are crucial in what we do here at Greene King!
Recognising the importance of internal mobility, we’ve proudly introduced our Internal Mobility Commitments as a central pillar in our Greene Sky strategy.
These commitments are geared towards fostering career development and equality through our organisation, with a shared goal of ensuring that every employee of Greene King, no matter if you’re working in the kitchen or head office, can truly thrive.
What is career mobility?
Internal career mobility means team members can move around within an organisation by upskilling and taking on new roles and responsibilities that help them progress in their chosen career path.
Career mobility can involve working on new projects or even moving to completely new departments.
Growing professionally and advancing your career while remaining at the same company helps promote a culture of continuous learning and adaptability while recognising the value of each employee.
Why Internal Mobility Matters to us at Greene King?
Internal Mobility is more than just a buzzword for us; it’s a fundamental part of our commitment to each employee of Greene King.
Our aim is to foster an environment where our exceptional employees can embark on diverse career journeys. In doing so, we’re not only investing in the growth of Greene King but also in the growth of each individual.
Our Internal Mobility Commitments
Our Internal Mobility Commitments serve as the blueprint for our approach to internal career progression, and they are crafted with heartfelt intent to empower our employees to unlock their potential.
1. Advertising all vacancies
We advertise all our job openings, including those up to the Director level, to ensure that everyone within Greene King has visibility of all the opportunities we have available.
2. Detailed Feedback
We are committed to providing detailed feedback to all candidates, regardless of the outcome of their application. This feedback is invaluable for personal growth and future career success.
3. Expedited Moves
When individuals are successful in their applications, we expedite their transition to their new roles. This not only reduces disruption but also demonstrates our dedication to their career progression.
Our Aims and Vision
Our Internal Mobility commitments are a top priority because they align with the core of our strategy, specifically within our Greene Sky ‘Promoting Careers’ pillar.
By fostering a culture of internal mobility, we not only want to boost job satisfaction but also curb turnover, resulting in a more stable and dedicated workforce.
As part of this ongoing journey, we’ve implemented initiatives such as career events, CV health checks, and personalised development plans.
Our dedication to diversity and inclusion propels us toward our goal of 50% of women in senior leadership roles by 2030.
Likewise, by championing accessible career development and gender equality initiatives, we’re actively supporting an inclusive environment where each and every member of our team can truly flourish.
One of the various initiatives we’ve introduced to assist in championing equality is our maternity policy.
