Why does global mobility matter?

Organizations across the globe continue to increase their exposure to international opportunities for growth. Many organizations are realizing tremendous value from having a globally mobile workforce. Global mobility is beneficial to both the organization as well as the employees. Organizations can develop new leaders, close skills gaps and secure the right skills at the right place through mobility. In achieving its growth objectives through mobility organizations can also motivate, engage and retain key employees by providing opportunities for career development, learning new skills, experiencing new cultures and living an enriched lifestyle.

Research suggests that business is quickly shifting towards emerging markets. BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries and the GCC countries, are emerging as talent hot spots, driven by this shift in economic power. This global trend has created steep rise in mobility of employees for long and short term international assignments as well as commuter assignments and shorter business travels.

How do we manage global mobility programmes?

Whilst Global Mobility may be mutually beneficial to both the organization as well as the employees, developing and managing mobility programs may also pose many challenges for HR where Tuscan Consulting can assist clients with the right advice.
