What EY can do for you

Modern workforce mobility functions are now required to address different needs and challenge old assumptions as they’re faced with dynamic economic, geopolitical regulatory, immigration, legal and health challenges. It’s not enough to rest on legacy mobility models rooted solely in business travel or long-term relocation. Mobility functions have increased scope and have taken on a more digital, integrated and strategic purpose.

With this reality, mobility functions need to evolve to be high-impact, efficient, and cost-effective while helping to achieve business growth. The race for talent requires organizations to broaden their global talent strategy with a renewed sense of purpose and responsibility in navigating cross-border risks.


The EY People Mobility practice believes that people experience is as important as the process. Our professionals focus on improving employee experience through the exceptional and the routine, teaming to provide scalable cross-border and cross-functional services that support your talent strategy and business goals. We’re there for the journeys that transform your people, and your organization.

Mobility should be woven into broader business and HR imperatives, rather than a stand-alone, transactional function. Human-centered Mobility programs that focus on the overall people experience while staying on top of global regulatory requirements, can be vital in talent attraction and retention. By blending the right people experience with the right technology, Mobility can evolve to support a workforce transformation that delivers a whole that is bigger than its parts.

Immigration

Today’s top talent represents a diverse range of cultures, nationalities  and backgrounds. Organizations need to be able to rely on an efficient, well-executed process that honors diverse company cultures, retains quality output and manages compliance risk. Making this process seamless and worry free, with high-touch communications and consistent employee-focused experience, supports a global workforce strategy that is comprehensive and resilient.

Cross-border work

Business travel and hybrid working deliver learning and development opportunities that foster a collaborative growth mindset, increase employee engagement, and contribute to your talent attraction and retention goals. However, if not done right, cross-border work can quickly turn from a talent enabler to a talent obstacle. Evolved cross-border work programs focus on employee experience, process, policy, and alignment with your company’s technology ecosystem. These components, paired with technology solutions, keep EY and our clients, ahead of the ever-changing regulatory requirements and support sustainability efforts enable quicker speed to ground, manage cost and risk, and promote personal and professional development that can be career defining and market differentiating.

Mobility managed services

Given growing global regulatory complexity and continued geopolitical uncertainty, as well as increased scrutiny of the value and return from mobility, the only way that mobility teams can respond to all business needs is to strategically engage external expertise. With external vendors, organizations can alleviate some of the burden of transactional activities. Managed services capability allows you to do more with less, consolidating and optimizing data, operations and vendors to promote flexibility, agility and resilience.
