If you are involved in the global relocation process of employees at your firm, you will know that it takes time and effort to perfect the process. Global mobility management involved countless moving parts, constantly changing obstacles and logistical minefields. Many international companies are now taking the plunge and enlisting the help of global mobility software solutions to take some of the load.
While it can be difficult to know where to start, there are a wide range of software solutions that can automate as much or as little of the mobility process as your company wants and needs. But with so many global mobility solutions providing software, how should you choose which one is best for your employee needs?
What factors should I consider when choosing global mobility software solutions?
We understand that every company is different. What you need in your software will be completely unique, meaning that it is not one-size-fits-all when it comes to global mobility management. When deciding on the right option for you and your business, you should include the following questions in your consideration.
- How big is your global mobility programme? How many relocations would you complete in a year, for example?
- How much control would you like to have as an employer? Which functions will be kept in-house?
- How is your existing global HR structured? Do you need different portals available for different teams?
- How much control would employees ideally have over their own assignments? Should there be a degree of self service?
- How much will existing HR software need to integrate with new global mobility software solutions?
Now that you have a little more insight into the complexities of this decision, we have put together a list of the top global mobility solutions to streamline your business processes.
