Many recruitments have been put on hold, pending a recovery in activity, but companies still need skills! <\/p>\n\n<p>What if <strong>Internal Mobility<\/strong> could meet your temporary needs and preserve your skills? Or even share them? A new form has just emerged.  <\/p>\n\n<p>We tell you more about <strong>Temporary Internal Mobility<\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1\/ What are the challenges of Temporary Internal Mobility?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">We all have in mind the problem of overstaffing experienced by companies linked to the total or partial cessation of activity.<br\/>However, <strong>some companies (such as multi-site organizations or Groups with varied activities) experience a paradoxical situation<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">closures of some of their sites (or departments\/BUs etc.) or a certain reduction in activity.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased activity on other sites or activities. A telling example: e-commerce or drive activity versus distribution stores. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:25px\">For these organizations, GPEC (forward-looking employment and skills management) has never been so important!<\/p>\n\n<p>Indeed, skills requirements have been turned upside down, with <strong>partial activities affecting different sites or departments<\/strong> of the same company or group <strong>unequally<\/strong>.<br\/>There is also an<strong> unequal distribution of active employees<\/strong> (partial activity, sick leave, parental leave, impossible teleworking, etc.) implying diverse and varied internal availability!<\/p>\n\n<p>The challenge for companies is to deal with :<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>understaffed sites<\/strong>, waiting for skills that are essential to the running of the business,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>employees available<\/strong> for part-time work, but not on understaffed sites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:25px\">And for varying lengths of time, depending on the company!<\/p>\n\n<p>Over the coming weeks and months, some companies will be gradually returning to business. There is therefore a need to<strong> consolidate and optimize available resources <\/strong>(between sites\/departments\/BUs and organizations within the same group)<strong>.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n<p>Drawing on what happened in the wake of the 2008 crisis, the objective is clear: to <strong>avoid a talent drain and maintain our level of expertise.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2\/ Temporary Internal Mobility: optimizing in-house skills!<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\">What if one of our temporarily-available employees wanted to meet our punctual needs at one of our sites?<\/p>\n\n<p>This is the question on which <strong>Temporary Internal Mobility<\/strong> is based. It&#8217;s true that internal reassignment, repositioning and <strong>internal replacement<\/strong> are HR measures that already exist, but are often \u201cimposed\u201d by the employer.   <\/p>\n\n<p>What makes Temporary Internal Mobility different? <strong>The employer offers to<\/strong> bring in <strong>volunteers<\/strong> to meet a specific skills requirement. This can take the form of one-off assignments, similar to interim management assignments, but this time using internal resources.   <strong>There&#8217;s a sense of provisionality, volunteerism and mutual aid.<\/strong>  In concrete terms, how does it work? It&#8217;s an <strong>internal, multi-site<\/strong>, operational and skills-sharing <strong>mobility<\/strong> scheme. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How does it work? <\/strong>The employer issues <strong>a call for contributions from its employees<\/strong>, who can respond on a voluntary basis. An exceptional assignment or temporary internal mobility contract is then signed by both parties (depending on the legal terms and conditions). <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>This mobility can be likened to geographical mobility<\/strong>. The employee is temporarily transferred. They may remain in the same function\/job, but change location. Or they can be \u201ctime-shared\u201d between 2 departments, if need be. But the employee can also make his or her additional skills available to meet a specific need of the company.      <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examples:  <\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>Example 1:<\/strong> Damien from the Customer Relations Department, overstaffed in view of the business, agrees to come and work in the warehouse (near his home) for a few hours a week.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Example 2:<\/strong> Thierry, from the Caen breakdown center, which is currently closed, is available to go to the Rouen auto center, which is understaffed. He will reinforce the workforce for a few weeks. What are the <strong>advantages <\/strong>of <strong>Temporary Internal Mobility? <\/strong>As with \u201cclassic\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/keycoopt.com\/en\/solution\/internal-mobility\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2011\">Internal Mobility<\/a> (seen more as CDI or CDD contracts), this temporary mobility enables :  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Optimization of internal resources and management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Capitalizing on skills.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sharing resources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An opportunity for the employee to develop his or her skills (cross-functional project, new environment, etc.).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved employee experience (trust, development, commitment).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted gut-cta\"><strong>Further information<\/strong><br\/>If you'd like to find out more about the benefits of Internal Mobility, watch the replay of <a href=\"https:\/\/keycoopt.com\/ressources\/webinaire\/mobilite-interne-arme-secrete-fideliser-talents\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/keycoopt.com\/ressources\/webinaire\/mobilite-interne-arme-secrete-fideliser-talents\/\">our webinar on the subject<\/a>.<\/pre>\n\n<p>A genuine <strong>skills transfer device<\/strong>, this variant of <strong>Internal Mobility<\/strong> is in line with current trends in collaborative working and innovative Talent Management. <strong>It puts employees at the heart of the company&#8217;s development<\/strong>, and lets them know it! It also demonstrates the company&#8217;s agility and ability to build trust with a transparent HR policy. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Case study &#8211; AccorInvest relies on temporary internal mobility<\/h3>\n\n<p>Recently, AccorInvest (real estate subsidiary of the Accor Group), a Keycoopt customer with its Internal Mobility and Cooptation platform, set up temporary assignments.  <strong>The company offers its available employees the opportunity to temporarily reinforce the teams at hotels in operation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>For example: a receptionist at hotel A in Lyon (in department 69) can&#8217;t work, because his hotel is closed; whereas hotel B in Villeurbanne (in the same department) needs someone 3 days a week. The receptionist at hotel A can therefore offer to reinforce the team at hotel B.   <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>On its digital platform, AccorInvest posts job offers for temporary assignments to its employees.<\/strong> On a voluntary basis, employees can apply to be transferred on an ad hoc basis.<br\/>This can also involve kitchen or maintenance jobs, etc.!<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3\/ Developing internal mobility through digital technology<\/h2>\n\n<p>Internal Mobility is the second module in Keycoopt&#8217;s collaborative digital recruitment solution. <strong>Suitable for all types of contract<\/strong> (permanent, fixed-term, exceptional assignments, temporary internal mobility, etc.), the solution enables :<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><b>Targeted, automatic distribution of vacancies<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to employees thanks to a matching algorithm.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees can <\/span><b>apply internally,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but also to <\/span><b>recommend a colleague<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for an internal position or assignment.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b>Facilitating the animation of the employee community<\/b> to bring the Internal Mobility program to life and increase the visibility of vacancies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s more, the platform&#8217;s functionalities facilitate digitalized recruitment management (dashboards, monitoring, KPIs, automation), centralizing information and optimizing efficiency.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dedicated project managers (known as Keycoopt \u201cenchanters\u201d) provide specific support for each of their customers, sharing their expertise in internal mobility, cooptation and digital community management. <\/span><b>share their expertise in internal mobility, cooptation and digital community management.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> They also provide strategic and operational advice, including feedback, throughout the implementation of the strategy (with a view to continuous improvement).<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An exceptional solution, born of a particular context, Temporary Internal Mobility may well represent a new form of long-term <\/span><b>to<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">  (vertical, functional or geographic internal mobility).
