Global Workforce Consulting

Helping you harness your international mobility programme to find, deploy, develop, and retain international talent

In today’s increasingly global world, businesses are finding that more of their employees are moving internationally than ever before and that much of this is to address talent shortages. While traditional assignments are still in place, new types of moves are emerging, and Mobility teams are at an inflection point where they need to consider how to respond to these exciting changes brought by the Future of Work.

Deloitte’s Global Workforce Consulting practice partners with organisations to help optimise and transform the operational, strategic, and digital aspects of Global Mobility. We pride ourselves on being able to tailor our support to client specific requirements.

Although every organisation is unique and has their own set of challenges, below summarises some of the challenges we receive:

“We have more assignees moving into new locations. What do we need to think about and how do we manage them?”

We can help you... set up the foundations of a compliant mobility programme.

How we can support:

Understand why you need to move talent and who is in scope
Determine the rules of moves and develop formal policies in line with market practices
Ensure you get the right compliance / logistical support for each move (e.g. relocation, tax, immigration, social security, legal, compensation data)

“How do I ensure the mobility function is aligned with my organisation's objectives for areas such as diversity, equity & inclusion, sustainability, wellbeing, and employee experience?”

We can help you... step up your mobility programme.

How we can support:

Understand existing pain points through a current state assessment and voice of the customer interviews
Map your customer's key journeys (e.g. assignees, line managers, HR business partners)
Identify and develop skills and capabilities that will be needed for mobility both now and in the future

“How can I make the mobility programme more efficient and flexible to respond to increased and varied demand?”

We can help you... transform your operations to become efficient, lean, and scalable.
