Creating opportunities for people to grow and develop is an important part of what makes IMI a place where careers can thrive.
Through our Horizons Global Talent Mobility Programme, employees can gain experience across different businesses, functions and regions, helping them develop new skills, expand their networks and build a deeper understanding of our global organisation.
Talent mobility plays a vital role in developing future leaders and strengthening collaboration across IMI. By enabling colleagues to work in new environments and learn from different teams, Horizons helps accelerate professional development while bringing fresh perspectives and expertise to the business.
For Gabriela Oliveira, Horizons provided an opportunity to take on a Legal and Compliance role within our Climate Control business, allowing her to apply her experience in a new context while continuing to develop her career within IMI.
Participating in the Horizons Programme was an incredibly enriching experience. It allowed me to take on new challenges, work with colleagues from different countries and gain fresh perspectives on markets, risks and business strategies."
Working across regions exposed Gabriela to different ways of thinking and problem-solving, reinforcing the value of collaboration in a global organisation.
"Seeing how people from different backgrounds and working styles come together toward a shared goal had a lasting impact on me. It pushed me to think more holistically and approach challenges in a more collaborative and solutions-oriented way."
The experience also helped her develop resilience and adaptability while balancing responsibilities across different markets and time zones.
"Balancing this project with my responsibilities in Brazil was demanding, but it taught me resilience and the value of collaboration across cultures. The support from my managers, host and team made the journey incredibly rewarding."
Following the successful completion of her placement, Gabriela transitioned into a permanent role in the Climate Control sector, demonstrating how Horizons can open new career pathways while helping IMI retain and develop talent from within.
At IMI, we believe that investing in people is fundamental to long-term success. Programmes like Horizons help employees take ownership of their development, gain valuable international experience and explore new career opportunities, while enabling us to build a more connected, agile and future-ready organisation.
As Gabriela's experience shows, talent mobility is not only about moving between roles or locations. It is about unlocking potential, developing capability and creating opportunities for people to grow and thrive throughout their careers at IMI.
