GLOBAL MOBILITY


Relocation policy design and review A good relocation policy underpins all relocation, from domestic moves to international assignments. Since the Brexit decision, currency fluctuations have presented


a major challenge to organisations relocating staff globally, given the fall of the pound against other currencies. Addressing such issues, and in the context of the run-up to the UK’s departure from the EU, provides an impetus to review and redesign international relocation policy. Major international developments (such as Brexit) can result


in significant organisational change. This can also trigger policy design/review as managerial focus homes in on compliance – immigration, tax and social security, for example. Companies responding to mergers and acquisitions or looking


to set up in a new location will also need to design or review their relocation policy. By being responsive to planned organisational change and


transition, policy design/review can create policy fit for the future. However, it is important to remember that policy design or review must also align with talent management strategy. The Global Mobility Toolkit series on relocation policy design


and review will provide you with step-by-step guides addressing the principles, content and communication of your policy, including:


• Policy design and review principles • Policy design process/communications • Long-term assignment policy content • Short-term/commuter assignment policy content • Policy content trends • International reward strategy (home/host-based pay) • Localisation


Managing group moves Currently, the interest in Brexit is a major driving force in organisational planning. Depending on the outcome of the UK’s negotiations with Europe, firms may, for example, decide to relocate groups of employees to locations within the EU and/or relocate skilled workers from EU or non-EU locations into the UK, to address talent shortages and changes in trading practices resulting from Brexit. While the Brexit situation is not predictable at this stage, group


moves require long-term planning and preparation. Organisations may therefore wish to think ahead, so that they are able to enact a group move when they believe the time is right. The Global Mobility Toolkit series on managing group moves


will address the major issues that you need to consider in preparing to move staff internationally as well as domestically. These include:


• Planning and communications •


• Policy content •


Employee relations/employee engagement International group moves


Managing across cultures The transfer of personnel across the world and the focus on the reshaping of organisations as they enter new markets via mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures have always raised concerns relating to cultural competence, assignee performance, and return on investment. With the advent of Brexit, cultural awareness takes centre stage


if industry and commerce are to enter new strategic ventures and alliances and achieve positive outcomes by so doing.
