Global Mobility Services
Deployments overseas, for both individuals and organisations, can be immensely exciting and rewarding; but also, hugely challenging; and when global mobility deployments do not go well, they can have seriously negative operational impacts.
Research suggests that global mobility deployments which do go wrong all suffer from common issues and challenges, two of the most common of which are, perhaps not surprisingly, are people and talent and achieving financial and operational ‘value’ and an acceptable return on investment. With almost forty percent of all global mobility deployments failing; and at total per annum through life costs of between £100k to £250k to recruit, retain and deploy talent effectively and successfully in a sustainable manner, especially at senior levels, it is critical that global mobility is optimised.
When personnel are deployed overseas with families, challenges and issues can even greater; with over 60% of employees declining international deployments because due to family reasons.
Other critical issues include taxation and education for offspring, as well as potential ‘hardship’ and quality of life perceptions. Who wants to be deployed to Saudi Arabia or Libya?
Nor are global mobility issues always driven from an organisational perspective. It is not unknown for those deployed to foreign climes to get straight back on an aircraft and return home. More commonly, what expatriates see as a lack of organisational integrity, lack of duty of care and financial rather than people and morale priorities can seriously damage the development of high-performance cultures.
Our corporate mobility operational and consulting services bring to clients the expertise and experience garnered from over five generations of expatriate lifestyle at senior levels; across military, blue-chip and smaller organisational environments.
Our specialist services are designed to assure that international deployments are optimised to achieve your strategic and operational objectives; high-performance operations; and privilege people and talent agendas.
As well as supporting extended global mobility deployments, our specialist services are also designed to support organisations and individuals from overnight and short business trips, to shorter and medium stay requirements.
Our approach is to provide clients with a SMARTER, intelligent and integrated and end to end suite of services, that adds value by deploying UK and local strategic and collaborative partners, networks and intelligence.
Our mission objective is to ensure that organisations are both provided with the end to end, through life support they need; and are full prepared to be able to optimise operational performance within the contexts, cultures and environments within which they operate.
Across all our services we emphasis people, ensuring that services are not only bespoke to organisations, but also the individuals concerned. By taking the time to ensure that individuals feel fully supported, prepared and motivated, the potential for successful deployments and assignments is significantly enhanced.
