Jumpstarting New Roles: Strategies To Help Employees Thrive in New Roles

Rob Cross, Senior Vice President of Research, i4cp

In today’s fast-paced, dynamic and interconnected workplace, seamless talent transitions - whether through promotions, lateral moves, or retirements - are increasingly challenging, even for the most skilled and dedicated professionals. Please join Rob Cross, Babson College professor and i4cp's SVP of Research, to uncover the strategies that enable top performers to excel swiftly in new roles, and understand their significance for HR leaders and managers. We’ll explore:

• The critical importance of intentional talent mobility, with high-performance organizations prioritizing it 2x as much as their lower-performing counterparts.
• Effective practices that empower "Fast Movers" to achieve job success and satisfaction 3x faster than their peers during role transitions.
• The potential risks for organizations and individuals who frequently move and share talent without fostering network development.
• Techniques to enhance knowledge transfer and mitigate risks when employees leave teams or the company.
