Key Areas of Focus

Policy: Examine the structure and inclusivity of your Global Mobility policies, including definitions of dependants, clearly stated objectives linked to organizational drivers, and the use of inclusive language.

Benefits and Allowances: Review family-supportive benefits and allowances at every stage of the Global Mobility journey, from hiring to post-repatriation, ensuring they meet family needs and ease transitions.

Relocation Practices: Evaluate practices to ensure family-friendly assignment planning, thorough assignment briefings, and regular check-ins throughout the assignment, supporting families every step of the way.
