In the face of a tightening talent market, the traditional "fire-and-rehire" cycle is proving to be not only wasteful but also a detriment to effective talent retention. While organizations face various obstacles in adopting talent mobility strategies like redeployment, a closer look reveals that the structure and culture within HR departments themselves might be the primary barrier.
