A mobile workforce is a key enabler for business and talent strategies, especially for multinational enterprises, and the growing tech companies expanding globally.

As technological disruption and acute talent shortages continue to redefine industries, the way to manage the global workforce without getting bogged down in day-to-day manual and repetitive work, has been emerging. Having the right mobility management solution in place can help both the employee and the employer manage myriad challenges from immigration, to cost tracking, tax compliance, streamlining communication, and workflow optimization. Digital technology and cognitive technology can offer such solution with apps, personalisation and 24/7 access.

What is EMM? (employee mobility management)

Employee mobility management (also shortened in acronym form as EMM) is focused on managing the movement of employees across the world. It uses intelligent systems to identify, predict and mitigate the risks associated with an expatriate employee.

Employee mobility management must be a strategic function that has a place in an organisation’s broader talent management’s goals, and does not only concern logistics, tax, and other compliance. Candidates can make truly informed decisions, encounter a more positive on-boarding experience, and experience greater ROI from more effective management efforts.

Why organizations are striving towards global mobility:

1. Speed to market — The failure to move quickly allow competitors the opportunity to enter new markets building with their market share and global brand . It is essential for the company to deploy talent quickly into the new and existing markets. War of talent acquisition and retention goes hand in hand with increasing globalization.

2. Exchange of valuable knowledge — In today’s technology driven, global economy, it would be fatuous for an organization to assume that the best idea and ways of thinking are in any given physical location.

4. Individuals gains significant market knowledge and personal growth through experiencing new culture and ways of thinking when being assigned abroad.

5. Business becomes stuck in its way and halts innovation if companies cease to grow globally and locally in the new markets. It is vulnerable to stagnation.

3. Mobility helps in development of career goals, improving skill sets to supporting new business growth, improving financial performance, bolstering employee engagement, strengthening succession planning, and retaining and developing top talent.

CONCLUSION

In a business defined by talent, global mobility is more important than ever. It is essential to deploy talents all around the world as quickly and as effortlessly as possible. Regardless of whether you run a small business or head a multinational corporation, global mobility helps to put the best people on job, wherever the job needs to be and help us deliver better services to our clients. If businesses really want to succeed in this new epoch of global expansion, then they need to rethink, how they manage their international talent pools.
