global employee mobility trends 2024: building talent capabilities in asia

Talent mobility is no longer just about importing talent to fill in roles but requires a more thoughtful and holistic approach across the employee lifecycle.

In my recent interview with Human Resources Online, the statistics and trends pointed to a refreshed talent mobility approach to go local by developing and relocating talents within the region to achieve better results and cost-effectiveness. The availability of highly skilled talent and positive assignment results are the key drivers of this trend. We expect this to continue throughout 2024 as organizations seek to optimize their relocation policy to create an enhanced relocation experience while fulfilling budgeting requirements.

Cartus SG Lunch & Learn Event Summary is now available.

Here are some insights and best practices on building stronger talent capabilities in Asia that industry peers shared in a recent Cartus Lunch & Learn session hosted in Singapore:

  • Global mobility teams remain critical players in safekeeping the end-to-end employee relocation experience
  • In implementing any policy refresh or cost-containment projects, companies should look into the broader HR or talent experience strategies to find an optimal balance between cost and employee experience
  • Taking a three-pronged approach to determine the right mobility policy
  1. Understanding your data, demographics, and direction
  2. The importance of candidate fit
  3. The balancing act between employee experience, cost, and governance
