Internal mobility and career development are vital to an organization’s talent strategy. Against this backdrop, LinkedIn’s 2025 Workplace Learning Report explores how organizations are prioritizing employee development and internal mobility. While the report offers many insights, real-world examples provide the most practical takeaways. For example, Walmart has implemented “pipeline programs,” which help frontline associates transition into truck driver and technician roles—two roles facing talent shortages. This initiative promotes employee career growth while enabling Walmart to fill critical roles more efficiently. Visa, which has over 200 products, has been rolling out AI-powered training and coaching for its sales teams. This allows sales professionals to practice sales pitches in a judgment-free environment with automated feedback, boosting seller confidence by 78%. The report also highlights generative AI’s growing role in career development. As practitioners continue translating ideas for internal mobility into tangible actions and practices, I am resharing this 56-page playbook by the Business Roundtable Multiple Pathways Initiative.
