Global Mobility Policy Benchmarking
How do your policies measure up?
Can you prove that your strategy for rewarding and managing expatriates is working? Are your policies fair
compared to what your competitors are doing? Can you document what you need to get support from other
decision makers?
Now you can benchmark your mobility program using the world's largest database of multinational expatriate
policies and practices. Using our 2011 Worldwide Survey of International Assignment Policies and Practices, we
assess your mobility program carefully, using an array of precise policy benchmarking tools. Then we give you a report
that shows gaps you may want to close.
