Global mobility

Comprehensive global workforce management solutions for growing companies

In today’s interconnected business landscape, companies across the world are increasingly looking beyond their domestic markets to capitalise on international opportunities. However, moving senior and mid-management employees across borders presents complex challenges that require expert guidance. Our comprehensive global mobility services provide the strategic framework and practical support your organisation needs to successfully expand internationally whilst managing compliance risks and optimising costs.

Expert global mobility strategy development

Our global mobility services are designed specifically for owners, investors, directors, and managers who understand that a robust relocation strategy is fundamental to successful international expansion. Unlike larger corporations with extensive internal HR departments, growing companies need external expertise to navigate the complexities of international assignments effectively.

We specialise in developing tailored mobility strategies that align with your business objectives whilst being in full compliance with employment regulations across multiple jurisdictions. Our approach encompasses every aspect of global workforce management, from initial assignment planning through to successful repatriation.

Comprehensive immigration and relocation support

Immigration services and work permits

Navigating immigration requirements is often the most challenging aspect of international assignments. Our immigration support services cover visa requirements, work permits, and all necessary documentation for both the home country and host country. We maintain up-to-date knowledge of changing immigration regulations across our global network of over 120 countries, to make sure your employees can relocate smoothly and legally.

Our immigration specialists work closely with your team to understand specific assignment requirements and provide timely guidance on the most appropriate visa categories and application processes. This proactive approach minimises delays and reduces the stress associated with complex immigration procedures.

Family relocation and comprehensive support

We recognise that successful expatriate assignments often depend on the entire family’s ability to adapt to their new environment. Our family relocation services extend beyond the employee to include spouse and dependent support, education consulting for children, and comprehensive settling-in assistance.

Our teams provide detailed briefings about the host country, including cultural orientation, housing searches, and connections to essential services. This holistic approach to relocation ensures better employee experience and higher assignment success rates.

Advanced tax compliance and payroll management

Tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions

International assignments create complex tax compliance obligations that vary significantly between countries. Our tax specialists provide comprehensive guidance on social security obligations, tax equalisation policies, and cross-border compensation structures. We ensure your organisation meets all tax compliance requirements whilst optimising the overall cost of international assignments.

Our payroll services are designed to handle the intricacies of multi-country compensation programs, including split payroll arrangements, currency fluctuations, and varying local employment regulations. This integrated approach reduces administrative burden whilst establishing accuracy and compliance.

Social security and benefits coordination

Managing social security obligations across multiple jurisdictions requires specialist knowledge and careful coordination. We provide expert guidance on bilateral social security agreements, contribution requirements, and benefit entitlements to ensure your employees maintain appropriate coverage throughout their assignments.

Risk management and Duty of care

Comprehensive risk assessment

Every international assignment carries inherent risks that must be carefully assessed and managed. Our risk management approach encompasses security considerations, healthcare provisions, and emergency support procedures. We work with you to develop comprehensive duty of care policies that protect your employees whilst limiting organisational liability.

Our teams maintain real-time intelligence on global security situations and provide ongoing support to ensure employee safety throughout their assignments. This proactive approach to risk management gives both employers and employees confidence in international relocations.

Compliance considerations and policy development

Developing robust mobility policies is essential for consistent and compliant international assignments. We assist in creating comprehensive mobility programme frameworks that address all aspects of expatriate assignments, from selection criteria through to repatriation procedures.

Our policy development services ensure alignment with best practices whilst accommodating your organisation’s specific requirements and budget constraints. Regular policy reviews ensure continued relevance and effectiveness as your global mobility strategy evolves.

Talent management and assignment planning

Strategic talent mobility

Effective talent management requires careful consideration of assignment objectives, career development opportunities, and succession planning. Our talent mobility specialists work with your leadership team to identify high-potential employees and develop international assignment strategies that support both individual career progression and organisational objectives.

We provide comprehensive assignment planning services that consider timing, duration, location selection, and reintegration planning. This strategic approach ensures maximum return on investment from international assignments whilst supporting employee development.

Cost management coordination

International assignments represent significant investment, making cost management coordination essential for programme sustainability. We provide detailed cost projections, ongoing expense monitoring, and regular reporting to ensure assignments remain within budget whilst delivering expected outcomes.

Our cost management approach includes analysis of alternative assignment structures, negotiation of preferred supplier rates, and implementation of cost-control measures that don’t compromise assignment success.

Local expertise with global reach

Our global network provides access to local specialists in key business centres worldwide, making sure your employees receive expert support regardless of their destination. This combination of local knowledge and global consistency is particularly valuable for organisations managing multiple simultaneous assignments across different regions.

We understand that successful global mobility requires more than just administrative support, it demands strategic thinking, cultural sensitivity, and operational excellence. Our consultants bring years of experience in international business and a deep understanding of the challenges facing growing companies.
