International business leaders overwhelmingly see emerging markets and the need for global mobility as priorities for their organisations. But at the same time not enough is being done to address global mobility issues.
Deloitte survey
This is the conclusion of the 2012 Strategic Moves Survey by professional services – from Deloitte. For this survey almost 200 HR, talent and global mobility professionals from international companies were questioned.
70% underperform, 34% plan review
That global mobility is behind the curve when it comes to driving business results is revealed by one of the survey’s statistics: 70 percent of the interviewed professionals say global mobility in their organisation is underperforming or needs improvement. And in another statistic, 34 percent of companies taking part in the survey plan to review their global mobility strategies in the next 12 months.
Strategic purpose
Only 2 percent of organisations regard their global mobility as world class. At the same time 88 percent of them do not use clear assessments of their mobility practices or link the results back to – find solutions to their organisational challenges. The survey report recommends that organisations should agree upon the strategic purpose of global mobility, understand the value proposition of global deployments, and enhance the use of mobility data analytics.
