This month’s meeting will examine trends in global mobility with an emphasis on developments outside of the US as business growth is pushing beyond our borders.  The presentation will be used as a starting point for discussion about developments in APAC, EMEA, and US-based assignments and international relocation.  We will talk about the 2013 survey results posted by various organizations in the mobility arena, and how these statistics compare to your organization.  Specific trends being adopted to manage long-term, permanent, and localization policies, as well as host-based compensation solutions such as Local and Local Plus programs will be highlighted, in addition to shorter duration assignments and how these are structured and tracked. 

Panelists from local Seattle corporations will join Leah in exploring the landscape today and what we see in the future.

 

Topics to be covered:

·         Results from 2013 industry surveys

·         Mobility program design

·         Specific trends in long-term, short-term, permanent international, and EBT programs

·         Policy similarities/differences in APAC, EMEA, and the US
