In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, companies are redefining their approach to employee mobility benefits. The traditional methods, which were primarily based on organizational hierarchy or employee level, are gradually giving way to a more purpose-driven matrix approach. This contemporary fit-for-purpose model considers the motivation behind the employee's move, whether it's for talent development or business reasons, and tailors the benefits accordingly.

We continue to see many companies making a move away from traditional mobility benefits approaches toward core-flex structures. These policy types aim to balance consistency and control over core provisions with flexibility for employees to make individualized choices among a set of flexible benefits. Technology is increasingly enabling these more complex benefit structures by automating much of the give-and-take workflow that comes with accommodating benefit choices. This automation also avoids burdening program managers with a cumbersome gatekeeper role just at a time when we know they are striving to elevate their roles as strategic contributors. 

Survey fatigue is real. As a mobility program manager, you are likely to be on the receiving end of requests to participate in industry benchmarking initiatives on a nearly daily basis. If you have sponsored a benchmark survey recently, you may have also noticed how difficult it can be to entice targeted companies to participate.

In today’s fast-paced, ever-evolving business landscape, organizations are constantly searching for ways to enhance talent management, improve employee experiences, and address the diverse needs of their workforces. Enter the core-flex mobility policy, an innovative approach to employee mobility benefits that has gained significant traction in recent years.

Mobility programs like any key business functions have always been susceptible to the economic shifts that can pressure teams to pivot with little notice. For program managers, the perennial challenge is balancing the day-to-day logistics of executing excellent move experiences with keeping an eye on emerging trends in order to move the course of the program toward future success.
