Providing better experience prioritised after mobility challenges in 2022
Employee experience emerged on top of employers' list of mobility priorities last year as international travel further rebounds.
This is according to a pulse survey report from Cartus Corporation, which provides corporate relocation services to organisations of all sizes. The survey found that employee experience, programme optimisation, and compliance were the top priorities of employers in the past year.
Karen Wilks, vice president, strategic growth at Cartus, said these priorities are "all intrinsically linked."
"I'm not surprised that employee experience is the top priority," she said in an exclusive feature with HRD.
According to Cartus, employee experience likely became the top priority due to the hardships experienced by employees in 2022.
"Globally, while companies strive to deliver an inclusive and positive relocation experience for their employees, we are also grappling with multiple challenges, including supply chain slowdown, escalating costs, and complex immigration requirements," Wilks said.
"Faced with all these challenges, we acknowledged that improving employee experience while overcoming these hurdles will be an uphill task."
Other priorities include programme optimisation, as mobility managers seek more tech-based solutions to improve mobility in their organisations.
Compliance also came up as a major priority, as employers seek to balance providing mobility and flexibility, while also adapting to emerging local and global laws.
"If we consider the increase in distributed workforces, for example, HR and mobility professionals can often feel overwhelmed by the volume of remote work requests they receive, not to mention the need to meet often changing and complex immigration laws," said David Pascoe, executive senior vice president, global talent mobility, EMEA and APAC, Cartus, in a previous statement.
Mobility across organisations is emerging again as most pandemic restrictions get lifted and international travel rebounds across the world.
