Executives around the world are feeling the squeeze as costs continue to rise, including those related to the mobility industry. With company leaders seeking cost cuts amid persistent inflation and budgeting processes that can’t keep up, mobility teams are tasked with finding program savings under even more challenging circumstances than usual. Given how important global mobility is in meeting organizational goals, from talent management to company growth objectives, mobility professionals need to take a mindful approach to mobility: one that balances a strategic approach to cost savings with a continued focus on providing exceptional relocation experiences.

To help mobility teams address these challenges, we’ve created a topic paper that explores the causes for rising mobility program costs and their implications for mobile employees. It also provides strategies for mobility managers to partner with their relocation management company to practice mindful mobility, resulting in outcomes that benefit both the employee and the business.


Here’s a preview of what you’ll find in the topic paper:

  • Five primary causes for rising mobility program costs and their implications for the mobile employee experience
  • Nuances of current challenges in the Americas, APAC and EMEA
  • Six common strategies mobility managers can explore with their relocation services provider to support a successful relocation, while identifying strategic program cost savings

While each relocation and mobility program will have unique needs, the organizational goals driving them are typically the same. By remembering why you’re relocating mobile employees in the first place - the value mobility brings to the organization - and approaching cost challenges strategically, mobility managers can find opportunities to achieve relocation efficiencies, align with company goals, retain talent - and improve the company’s bottom line.
