›Why internal mobility without a workflow stalls careers and frustrates talent
Internal mobility is the #1 retention lever — employees with internal moves stay 2x longer — yet most organizations run it informally. A manager proposes a move in a hallway conversation, HR validates by email, the transition plan is a whiteboard sketch, and the amendment is drafted 3 weeks late. The result: 60% of internal moves are delayed by over a month, the current manager is caught off guard, and the employee loses trust in the process.
The payroll angle is painful too: salary changes from promotions are communicated to payroll late, generating 1-2 months of underpayment and correction runs.
›The automated internal mobility workflow
- Proposal: the hiring manager or HR creates the mobility proposal (employee, target role, target team, effective date); the AI copilot checks eligibility against the mobility policy (tenure, performance, no PIP).
- HR validation: HR reviews the proposal and validates the role, grade and salary band; the workflow checks the headcount budget.
- Pre-assignment interview: the workflow schedules the pre-assignment interview between the employee, current manager and HR; feedback is captured in the record.
- Transition plan: the current manager builds a transition plan with the employee (handover, knowledge transfer, last day in current role); the workflow tracks completion of each handover item.
- Amendment editing: the workflow drafts the employment amendment via usePDF with the new role, grade, salary and effective date; HR and the legal representative validate it.
- Employee e-signature: the amendment is sent to the employee for eIDAS-qualified electronic signature; the workflow tracks signature status.
- Archiving: the signed amendment is archived encrypted via useArchive for the 50-year legal retention period, attached to the employee record.
- Payroll & ERP notification: the workflow notifies payroll of the salary change effective on the amendment date and the ERP of the new position — no late communication, no underpayment.

Frequently asked questions
Can the workflow check mobility eligibility automatically?
Yes. The copilote IA checks eligibility against the mobility policy (tenure, performance, no PIP) when the proposal is created, so only eligible candidates progress.
Is the promotion amendment signed electronically?
Yes. The amendment is drafted via usePDF and sent to the employee for eIDAS-qualified electronic signature, then archived encrypted via useArchive for the 50-year legal retention period.
Does payroll get notified in time?
Yes. The workflow notifies payroll of the salary change effective on the amendment date — no late email, no 1-2 months of underpayment and correction runs.
