About a year ago, we reported over a third of companies we surveyed were considering implementing some type of core/flex mobility policy. Since then, Global Mobility professionals have had to deal with many COVID-related challenges around assignments and physical relocations, as well as counsel and support their organizations regarding new types of global work patterns such as virtual assignments and remote work.

This catchy term seems to be popping up with increasing frequency in articles and blogs regarding global mobility trends. Although AIRINC’s most recent Mobility Outlook Survey indicates only 14% of companies currently employ a core/flex approach to promote flexibility for the business, many companies are expressing a keen interest in learning more about how core/flex works, and whether it is an effective way to help businesses manage assignment costs.

In a recent custom AIRINC survey, 36% of participants indicated they were considering implementing a core/flex approach within the next few years. For firms considering core/flex to add flexibility for the business, it’s helpful to know that no single policy configuration works equally well for all. AIRINC’s benchmarks confirm effective core/flex arrangements vary significantly from company to company. Practices regarding which elements are flexed, and by how much, are highly varied.
