Relocation is an ever-evolving industry, with new trends and practices emerging all the time. Many companies keep their relocation policies proprietary and confidential, so it can be quite difficult to sift through the available data to ensure your company’s relocation policies are remaining competitive within your industry.
For this very reason, companies, both large and small, choose to participate in global mobility benchmark studies.
什么是移动性基准研究？
基准研究允许你将你公司的搬迁政策与其他在规模、范围和行业方面相似的公司进行比较。你会发现其他公司在福利、奖金和时限方面提供了什么，这使你能够看到贵公司的政策在竞争中的优势。许多全球流动性专业人士利用基准数据来证明竞争对手是如何管理类似情况的，并对他们的流动性计划作出相应的改变。
Staying competitive in today’s job market is essential for all corporations but finding out if your company is staying competitive within your industry is only one of several benefits you will receive by participating in a benchmark study.
吸引顶尖人才
在目前工人短缺的情况下，许多行业都选择重新评估他们的招聘战略，因为吸引和保留合适的人才不再只是当地的努力。提供有竞争力的福利，包括搬迁，已成为公司寻找和保留他们所需人才的关键。
确保你的搬迁政策与公司的目标和宗旨相一致
Is your company more concerned with cutting relocation cost or offering the best overall transferee experience? Adhering to global mobility best practices is only so important; your company’s culture and business practices are just as important. Benchmark studies will provide you with the data necessary to align your company’s objectives and culture with your mobility policies.
Uncover Relocation Cost-Saving Opportunities
One of the biggest reasons companies decide to benchmark their relocation policies is to determine new ways to save money. Mobility programs are one of the costliest benefits you can offer your employees. Therefore, it is always critical to learn about and identify areas within your program where you can cut cost, all while remaining competitive within your industry and true to your company’s culture.
确定新的和创新的方式来管理你的搬迁计划
Remaining competitive is essential, but for some companies, standing out is even better. Companies implement new solutions and strategies all the time, and benchmark reports help shed light on new innovative opportunities.
Minimize Relocation Policy Exceptions
Do you find there are areas within your program where you are constantly making exceptions? Benchmarking allows you to see how other companies handle similar situations. It’s possible to use this data to make changes to your policies and minimize the amount of exceptions that occur.
发现其他公司如何管理变革
Change is inevitable when it comes to global mobility. The most recent event to shake up the mobility industry was the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. With these new regulations, moving expenses are no longer considered tax-exempt. This has required companies to reevaluate some of their relocation policies and implement changes, like tax assistance, as needed.
一个好的基准研究会把这样的时事纳入他们的调查中，所以你可以发现其他公司是如何处理这些类型的情况。
