Our very own Mike Wincott, Senior Director Client Solutions EMEA, sat down with Claire Tennant-Scull as part of the FEM EMEA Virtual Summit in November to discuss the Three Essentials of Global Mobility Now.
Videos improve the Mobility experience and save you time! You can use them to set expectations for what it will be like to go on an assignment or address specific topics like:
Before starting any policy design project, it's important to define what type of Mobility program you are and what type of program you want to be. Other considerations include your organization's business and talent objectives, and what resources (internal & external) you can leverage to help drive your policy.

Martin is a dislocated assignee, working for the German government on sustainable agriculture projects onsite in Addis Ababa. In late March, fearing civil unrest and a medical system unable to cope with COVID-19, he returned to his home in Kent two days before the U.K. lock-down went into effect. Now, three months later, he is preparing for his return to Ethiopia.

Ideally, the localized employee’s package matches what local employees receive.

Companies will typically pay for the costs directly linked to the relocation, such as shipment and medical expenses, but what about incidental costs?
