• Execute talent planning at a global scale, understanding the complex cross-border cost of options
• Stay agile with continuous adjustments, scenario planning and fluid teaming models
• Benchmark their talent strategy across multiple geographies, eliminating data silos and inconsistencies for better business intelligence
• Enhance employee experience by providing visibility, communication, and support for globally mobile employees
• Accommodate increasingly complex work arrangements with staff regularly working from multiple locations across state and international lines
Global mobility teams are in a unique position to step up and provide these capabilities to an organisation. As it stands, global mobility is already responsible for a lot. Mobility teams are asked to oversee many types of mobile employees from short term assignments to permanent transfers to business travel. They ensure global compliance, instruct global payrolls, impact employee development, attraction, retention, and as Covid-19 has shown, play a significant role in employee health and safety. Global mobility teams sit in a unique position to touch almost every element of the talent lifecycle. It’s only natural that the next phase of talent mobility is one as a central component of global talent strategy and the future of work. But this is only possible with the right technology solution underpinning the modern global mobility program. The Topia One platform, along with the new versions of Topia’s
applications, enables mobility teams to be that strategic partner to the business by:
• Creating a single source of data for the agile, mobile workforce • Driving efficient, scalable mobility programs through intelligent automation
• Providing industry insights, benchmarking, and best practice analytics
• Managing risk and compliance across global jurisdictions • Helping companies attract, develop, and retain their talent across locations
• Supporting all types of mobility – from a short business trip to a multi-year assignment
2020 will be an outlier year in mobility with borders closed for so much of it, but global talent mobility shows no sign of slowing down as the world opens back up. The need to put the right talent in the right place is still there. And, as the economy hums back to life in the wake of broad lockdowns, companies are already gearing up to pull the trigger on strategic moves. But the Covid-19 crisis has, in dramatic fashion, exposed huge
gaps in global talent management for even the largest and most sophisticated companies. Simultaneously, it also provided a unique opportunity to fix the problem. Now that we recognise global talent management isn’t just about business strategy but also about protecting the health, safety and welfare of our employees, we must fill those gaps before the next crisis arises. This comprehensive approach to global talent management
will change the way companies leverage talent in the future and provide the platform for building a truly global talent strategy.
