Transferring employees abroad for short-term, long-term or permanent assignments is more challenging than ever before. Aligning your company's expatriation practices with the best practices in the marketplace is critical to your program's success. Mercer's International Assignments Survey is a well-established source of information on expatriate management and addresses all the key issues that affect international assignments. Based on survey data from major multinational firms, this report presents the latest international assignment practices and policy developments. A comparison with survey data from two years ago helps you identify important trends.


Key topics for 2010 include:
  • Return on Investment (ROI) for international assignments
  • Outsourcing
  • Commuters
  • Support for assignees and family members before, during and after assignment

Get the latest data on:
  • Alternative compensation approaches to address regional transfers
  • Expatriate allowances and benefits, including mobility premiums, cost-of-living adjustments and hardship allowances
  • Housing support for long-term transfers and localised assignees
  • Per diem allowances and benefits for short-term assignments

We present the data and trends sorted by geographic region and by industry sector so you can benchmark your international assignment policies closely against your peers. This survey report can help you fine tune your expatriation tactics to optimise your investment in workers assigned outside their home country.
