The 2024 survey edition opens on 25 April! Be ready!
Mercer's Flexible International Mobility Policies Survey aims to find out what kind of flexibility multinational companies have introduced in their global mobility program policies, as well as their design and how successful they have been.
What is meant by policy flexibility? Any level of choice, whether it be for the business or the assignee, regarding the package or relocation assistance provided to an assignee, whether for a specific item or a range of items.
The survey covers:
- Mobility program trends and management
- Introducing flexibility: objectives, challenges, eligibility, responsibilities and program design
- Flexible items scope
- Types of flexibility (e.g., cash out options, points-based, menu approach, lump sums, benefits swapping…)
- Managing flexibility: pros and pitfalls, assessment and feedback.
The 2022 report is still available for purchase!
2022 Flexible Mobility Policies Report - Key highlights
The proportion of companies applying flexibility in their global mobility policies has increased by 21 percentage points since 2019.
The three most common approaches to flexible assignment packages:
1) Lump sums (60%), 2) Cash out (34%), 3) Benefit swapping (32%)
Improving the assignee experience is the key reason for introducing flexibility in global mobility policies, according to 57% of respondents, who consider it a very important expected benefit.
Lack of technology infrastructure to support flexible packages is a main challenge when introducing flexibility, according to 47% of companies.
