How can mobility metrics help you now?

Metrics places objectivity in the perceptions of managers and expatriates. It provides a rationale for informed decisions – and a "defence" of the mobility policy if warranted. But the impact of a metrics system goes further, allowing HR to predict future needs. For example, mobility metrics enables programme managers to ask:

How many people are necessary to manage our mobile workforce? How does our staffing situation compare to those of our peers? Do we need to hire more people? Do we have too many?
Our expatriate retention rate is 90% upon completion of an assignment. Is 90% acceptable or good – or a serious problem? Do we have to delve deeper into the situation to avoid a shortage of good candidates next year?

Simply put, mobility metrics mines data to make the invisible, visible.

The report discusses the relevance of demographics on benchmark data and also analyses how they impact short- and long-term retention. Expatriate package elements and processes are correlated against short- and long-term retention as well.

Specifically the report details how each of the following impacts retention:

Demographics Company size Age of expatriate program Gender, size and age of expatriate population	Expatriate processes Selection & repatriation process Career plans Size of mobility unit Exceptions to policy Satisfaction surveys & management tools Localization policy
Expatriate package elements Competitiveness of package Support services provided to expatriate and family Completion bonuses Mentor programmes Repatriation job guarantee Promotions
