Navigating the complex landscape of global mobility can be daunting. In today's interconnected world, effective mobility programs play a crucial role in shaping an organization's talent management strategies and overall success. But what separates a great mobility program from the rest? 

Remote work is rapidly gaining traction among businesses worldwide, with companies citing numerous reasons for supporting these arrangements. Almost 80% of respondents to Deloitte’s 2022 Global Remote Work Survey reported allowing some level of remote and hybrid work.

Highly successful employee mobility programs today thrive on a careful blend of flexibility, adaptability, consistency, and equitability. This balance can be achieved through strategic utilization of technology and clear expectation setting about policy limitations and maximum assignment durations. With an investment in process automation, mobility teams can achieve a seamless integration between the employee choices inherent to today’s flexible policy structures, cost estimates, reporting, and benefit communications such as relocation offer letters/ letters of assignment. 

The purpose of this survey was to glean insights into the policies and practices of domestic U.S. mobility programs, specifically those related to permanent relocations. Gathering responses from 42 companies across various sectors, the goal was to understand how these organizations manage their relocation programs and gauge their outlook on the opportunities and challenges impacting the programs recently and likely trends in the year ahead.
