SHL, a global leader in talent insight, has introduced its latest innovation: a data-driven Talent Mobility solution designed to help organizations navigate workforce transformation by redeploying talent, closing skill gaps, and reducing reliance on external hiring.
The platform leverages SHL’s science-backed assessments, predictive analytics, and artificial intelligence to provide HR leaders with a comprehensive view of employee skills and potential. This enables strategic decision-making in workforce planning, allowing companies to proactively address evolving business needs.
“The SHL Talent Mobility Solution solves this by delivering a clear, science-backed view of workforce capabilities—helping organizations make informed talent decisions, optimize deployment, close skill gaps, and build a more agile, future-ready workforce,” said Lucy Beaumont, Solutions Owner, Talent Management at SHL.

As businesses face rapid technological advancements and shifting economic landscapes, traditional approaches to talent development are proving insufficient. SHL’s new solution aims to transform career mobility into a strategic advantage, enabling organizations to retain and reskill employees rather than resorting to layoffs.
Industry experts highlight the importance of such tools in today’s dynamic environment. “In times of workforce restructuring, organizations need more than just a strategy for downsizing – they need a strategy for redeployment,” noted Josh Bersin, founder of The Josh Bersin Company. “SHL’s tools here are unique: the platform can quickly assess employee skills against the SHL Universal Competency Framework, one of the most job-validated models in the world. This then lets companies redeploy employees in a proven, high-quality model, turning workforce challenges into opportunities for growth and resilience.”
SHL’s Talent Mobility solution includes a Global Skills Assessment that measures 96 behavioral skills in just 15 minutes, creating detailed employee profiles. It also offers science-backed role profiles based on over 600 validated O*Net roles, facilitating precise skill matching and efficient redeployment strategies.
By integrating these capabilities, SHL aims to empower organizations to build agile, future-ready workforces, aligning talent with business objectives and fostering long-term resilience.
