Lateral Move Rate

operationalbehavioral · mobility · percentage · organization

The percentage of employees who changed roles at the same organizational level.

How it’s computed

Formula: (Employees making a same-level role change / Total employees) × 100
Measurement model: operational (a formula over systems data) — not a reflective survey scale; “reliability” here means data quality, not internal consistency

What it operationalizes
