How One Company Used Internal Mobility to Retain Underrepresented Talent

Episode 31 of The Diversity Career Podcast looks at how one company, a Fortune 500 retailer, built an internal mobility program specifically to retain Black and Latino professionals. Lucas and Luna break down the program's key design choices: a dedicated talent marketplace, manager incentives to release employees, and a two-year tracking system that measured both promotion rates and retention. They discuss the data behind the initiative—how internal hires from underrepresented groups stayed 40% longer than external hires—and what other companies can learn about making mobility actually inclusive instead of a paper policy. No buzzwords, just what worked and what didn't. #InternalMobility #Retention #UnderrepresentedTalent #BlackProfessionals #LatinoProfessionals #TalentMarketplace #CareerDevelopment #DiversityAndInclusion #DEI #Fortune500 #RetailIndustry #PromotionRates #EmployeeRetention #InclusiveWorkplace #Mentorship #Sponsorship #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
