Managing Large-Scale Group Moves for Global Projects

Written by Michelle Curran | 27.02.2024

Global projects that require moving groups of employees to new locations can be complex to manage. However, with proper planning and the right technology, these “project mobility” initiatives can run more smoothly.

The View From The Top's insightful discussion on project mobility featured experts Pankaj Bhatia and Tom Pinfield-Wells. They explained that project mobility involves moving large groups of employees, often engineers or skilled workers, over an extended timeline for internal projects or external client work. The moves may be to remote locations like oil rigs or challenging sites.

The logistics of orchestrating these group moves crosses many teams like projects, global mobility, security, tax, and more. Historically most companies have managed them through manual processes like spreadsheets and emails. This scattered approach leads to frustrated teams and employees, compliance issues, added costs, and project delays.

Fortunately, new tools like Benivo's unified mobility platform provide “a single source of truth” to centralize data, processes, and statuses for all group move details. Key benefits include:

Central repository for all project details and documents
Easy tracking of employee assignments and immigration/compliance statuses

  • Dashboards to monitor projects, highlight risks and take actions
  • Cost estimates and planning for vendor services
  • Tax and security teams gain real-time visibility


By enabling proactive planning and coordination across stakeholders, companies can reduce costs, ensure immigration readiness, and deliver successful employee experiences. The results are well-run global project mobility initiatives that help companies win and deliver work across borders.
