WINNER: SANTA FE RELOCATION AWARD CATEGORY:
BEST RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION WINNER T
his award recognises a deeply insightful and practical research report ‘Taking Care of Global Mobility Professionals’ undertaken by Santa Fe Relocation.
Their research assessed why global mobility (GM)
teams are considerably overstretched and, in many cases, facing business expectations that global relocations can be executed ‘at the flick of a switch’.
COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO RESEARCH They developed a detailed questionnaire to determine where global mobility/human resources (HR) professionals spend/should be spending their time, together with identifying key challenges across their global mobility work continuum and their business and leadership stakeholder interactions. The GM ‘Maturity’ framework created enables GM
and HR professionals to assess what they currently deliver and presents options to transform their function. They shared the findings and insights with 500+ global mobility and HR professionals. An overview slide submitted as part of their entry,
encapsulates the levels of activity within global mobility functions and graphically plots tactical/administrative; risk and cost management and the global strategic business partner, highlighting mindset, operations and skills. These three dimensions illustrate the reflections global mobility
professionals need to have on where they are today, where do they want to go in the future and how you can plot your journey. There is an urgent call for action on mindset, operations and skills to create a brighter future and the way forward for global mobility.
