A thoughtful look at the critical issues facing employers of globally mobile employees
|
Deployment of talent is key to success for the world's leading organisations, but expatriate policies vary in effectiveness due to increasing challenges faced by multinational companies. For example -- expansion into new territories including new sending locations, efficient reporting across borders, ever changing tax laws, and the fierce competition for the global talent pool -- pose many hurdles for functional HR leaders working to address the needs of today's international assignees. And perhaps the biggest challenge of all is addressing the needs of the assignee while maintaining global business objectives and broader HR strategies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers' new publication International Assignment Perspectives provides an insight into the challenges and opportunities for employers of a globally mobile workforce, and a fresh outlook on current issues that impact such employers. This publication will be of interest to any organisations regularly moving employees into or out of Ireland, or indeed anywhere else around the world. It covers taxation, HR, immigration and mobility issues including:
- mobility trends in Europe that can be applied globally;
- planning and implementing customised assignment policies as part of a global framework;
- situations where tax treaties do not prevent double taxation;
- challenges facing outbound expatriates from India;
- issues surrounding the 'economic employer';
- payroll compliance for cross border employees.
A complete copy of this incisive new publication is now available free of charge. To order a hard copy please download and complete the enclosed order form. Alternatively please contact Clare Hayes Brady (': + 353 1 792 8674 | *: clare.hayes.brady@ie.pwc.com)
International Assignment Services
International mobility, where employees are required to work cross-border and remotely in order to meet corporate and client needs, is set to become even more virtual and certainly more widespread in the future. The need for an internationally mobile workforce comes as a result of sharpened competition, the pace of globalisation and the pressure to operate on a trans-national basis. Although expected to expand increasingly over the coming years, cost pressures, lifestyle choices, changing work practices and improved technology will be making changes to the traditional nature of international mobility.
But having good people amounts to nothing if an organisation doesn’t have good people management. For companies that do business globally, the need for broad, thorough HR programs that anticipate, and address, the myriad issues that come with having an internationally dispersed workforce is absolutely crucial. It’s essential that organisations have in place a competitive international mobility programme that is not only aligned with business strategy but also facilitates the transactional aspects of international mobility.
