Inbound/outbound workforce support including international workplace mobility, relocation & tax polices

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.
If this is your situation :
-
 You need to facilitate that your international assignment policies are aligned with and meet the needs of your business while being cost efficient.
-
 You want your international assignment delivery structure to be efficient and to use technology effectively.
-
 You need tax-efficient international assignment structures and policies.
-
 You need to manage risks by complying with regulations in the locations where your global workforce is deployed
-
 You want to confirm you are selecting the right staff for international assignments and that their performance is meeting business objectives.
