Managing a mobile workforce in a new era

 

In the wake of COVID-19, social and economic disruption has led organizations to reassess their global mobility programs with a focus on the well-being of their expatriate employees. As they leverage new working arrangements, changing technology, and adaptive ways of thinking, many organizations are considering alternate forms of international assignments, in addition to traditional mobility programs, to sustain their overseas operations and workforces.

 

Meanwhile, HR teams are on the front line and must be equipped to address a host of situations and questions related to duty of care, relocation, rewards, risk management, and compliance.

 

Mercer has the tools and the experience to help you manage these situations – and more – with practical advice behind the hard numbers.
