As a member of the UniGroup Relocation Network we are pleased to share some key global mobility trends from 2014. The RES Forum Annual Report 2014 ‘Key Trends in Global Mobility’ has been released and was written and produced by RES Forum, UniGroup Relocation Network and Equus software.
The report covers 300 surveys on contemporary global mobility topics which the RES Forum (an independent, highly engaged and international community of senior in-house International Human Resources professionals with members in over 30 countries) has conducted over the past 12 months, data which the RES forum membership have provided; these are therefore the key trends happening in their organisations.
This year’s RES Forum annual report is an analysis of all of this survey data requested by members, along with data from research carried out by the RES Forum around key Global Mobility (GM) issues affecting organisations and their mobility programmes today. We complete the report by adding some recommendations from other global mobility projects along with general academic and professional literature and comment. In addition, this year’s report presents case studies from an interesting array of multinational corporations which add mobility practice insights.
Global Mobility Trends Topics
- The Purpose, Operating Model and Value of Global Mobility
- Organisational Development & Talent Management
- Programme Compliance & Duty of Care
- Reward Package Design
- Programme Management & Technology
The report is completed by adding some recommendations from other global mobility projects along with general academic and professional literature and comment. In addition, this year’s report presents case studies from an interesting array of multinational corporations which add mobility practice insight including:
Global Mobility Trends Case studies
- Deutsche Telekom AG – Cross Country Mobility – A Strategic Talent Initiative
- Kraft Foods (part of the Mondelez Family of Companies) – Journey to the Middle East
- Lloyds Register – Global Mobility Transformation
- Associated British Foods – A decentralised group
This report is truly unique in the HR mobility space in that it not only reflects the hot topics and issues for global mobility professionals as identified by global mobility professionals, it also overlays that reality with both academic and professional research on global mobility, incorporating research on both international HR and strategic talent management. We think the report will be an important reference for your own global mobility operation, both strategically and on a day-to-day level.
This information, when combined, produces a truly unique story on the key trends within global mobility in 2014, a story which no mobility HR professional or relocation provider in the mobility space can afford to ignore.
