global talent mobility survey 2024: industry trends and insights for manufacturing and construction

Global talent mobility is not only a strategic advantage for organizations, but often a necessity in today’s competitive and dynamic talent markets. However, different industries have different needs and priorities when it comes to managing their relocation programs and supporting their mobile employees. That’s why we’ve drilled down deeper into the data from our Global Talent Mobility Survey 2024, to create a bespoke survey report for the Manufacturing and Construction sector. The report gives you useful insights and benchmarks if you work in HR or mobility in this industry and shows you how they stack up against the results from the full survey report.

key findings

Covering topics such as program size, move types, cost management, flexibility, remote work, cross-cultural training, and DEI, here are some of the survey report’s key findings:

  • DEI drives policy change. This industry rated DEI as the third most important reason to change or update their mobility policies, while it was only sixth in the full report. 
  • Mobility activity remains strong. 66% of the companies in this industry said their mobility activity grew or stayed the same in the past two years.
  • Cross-cultural training is widely used. Most organizations (83%) work with third-party providers to give cross-cultural training support to their relocating employees and their families—slightly more than the full survey report (77%). This shows the value of cultural skills and adjustment for effective assignments in this sector.
