In today's dynamic job market, lateral moves are proving to be as valuable as promotions for career growth. Research highlights that employees who make sideways transitions are often more likely to be promoted and enjoy higher wage growth later in their careers. These moves not only keep you engaged and help you learn new skills but also expand your internal network. Companies benefit too, as these employees tend to stay longer, contributing to organizational stability and innovation. Embrace the crab-like career path—sometimes moving sideways is the best way to move up! https://lnkd.in/e_SPaeaf? #CareerDevelopment #HR #talentmanagement #talentdevelopment #learning
