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.

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 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.
