Inclusive Global Mobility – Dual Careers
A
t the recent Permits Foundation Conference, Des McKell, SVP, NetExpat highlighted that the relocating partner continues to be the number one reason why talent
will ultimately reject the opportunity of a relocation or assignment. “We really need to look at the current demographic
of tomorrow’s mobile workforce”, he explained. “There are some very particular characteristics. We
know that 90% of Gen Y partners are professionally active at the point of contemplating a relocation, more qualified than they have ever been before and they want to work. We know that three quarters of those couples consider maintaining the dual income as significant or critical to decision making. “That poses questions for employers. How are
you setting up your talent to go home and have that successful, strong conversation with their partner, the kitchen table conversation?” There has also been a shift away from traditional
long-term assignments to permanent moves, he explained. “Historically those moves came with a housing allowance and cost of living allowance and this was a wonderful cushion for families to be able to take up an assignment. “Today, permanent movers hit the ground running
on day one. If they are relying on dual income they have to find that dual income very quickly.”
