Job Competence and Job MobilityThere is a direct relationship between job competence and job mobility and vice versa. In many companies, the traditional view is that as a person grows in the position, he becomes more competent, therefore, he gets promoted. The alternative strategy is that you move people around in the organization. They become greatly more competent as they move around the organization from one position to another. The company creates the opportunity for job mobility, for employees to gain more competence, thus be more valuable to the company. Why would a company invest in this strategy? Simple. While people build competence and expertise in a position over time, boredom sets in leading to low productivity and little flexibility. A large company has the ability to offer this kind of mobility, and a small company can use this to its advantage, since rotating managers attributes to generation of ideas and creativity, and at the same time you have the cross training necessary in the event that some staff members are not available. --------- For additional employee evaluation resources, visit these pages:
