Mobility professionals continue to be pressed to address the intricate challenge of harmonizing the enhancement of employee experience with the imperative to manage costs effectively. Amidst a dynamic landscape of policy shifts, cross-border complexities, and evolving employee expectations, we have had ongoing conversations with Mobility leaders to identify hurdles and innovative approaches within the realm of talent mobility.

In part one of our two-part Striking the Balance series, Elevating Employee Experience and Controlling Costs, we explored what is trending in the areas of employee well-being and experience, regulatory changes, and adoption of technology. In Part 2, we take a closer look at some program needs identified by Mobility leaders, and the strategies they are deploying.

Following are several scenarios mobility leaders have been presented with at their organization and some of the approaches they are taking to meet both business and employee needs.

Policy and Benefit Changes
