Question

What kind of issues would you face if you were given an assignment to another country that you have not had any prior experience? Pick a country and discuss the steps you would take to prepare for the assignment

Answer 1

The following are some of the steps I would like to follow and prepare for the assignment for example say Europe

• Upgrade mobility controls. Establish global standards and process integration across the mobility lifecycle and business functions based on a clear mobility strategy and supporting policies that are endorsed by leadership.
• Establish sustainable methodologies. To ensure regulatory requirements are met, consider replacing traditional tracking and reporting methods with descriptive analytics of mobility compliance across tax, immigration, social security, and payroll.
• Ask the question and source the data. Companies have to first identify what they need to know and what they want to achieve with the information they are seeking. Then, they can harness data from, for example, mobile employee tracking, the assignee selection process, and talent management and compliance for tax to support decision-making and drive mobility planning.
• Upskill internally. Add the use of data analytics, the ability to generate actionable insights, and the responsibility for data integrity and quality to the skillset of the mobility programme.
