Location Hardship Ratings for International Assignments

International assignees are often on location in areas where the living conditions differ dramatically from those at home. Recognizing and adequately compensating expatriates for this change is key not only in terms of marketplace competitiveness, but also to avoid assignee dissatisfaction which may come at a greater price.

To encourage employment mobility and keep abreast of the competition, you need reliable information to help you calculate fair, consistent expatriate allowances. Mercer’s Quality-of-Living Reports and Location Evaluation Reports provide valuable information and hardship premium recommendations for every major city on our globe.
