Through ongoing conversations with clients, we have been exploring key trend areas and their impact on mobility strategies, as well as components to consider implementing to achieve talent management and organizational objectives related to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) and Environmental, Social, & Governance (ESG).

DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION (DEI)

Providing expanded support that anticipates a diverse set of needs and provides easy accessibility for all employees is important for organizations. Top areas of focus include diversifying their mobility population, providing meaningful support to all employees, incorporating flexibility in policy and processes, and addressing accessibility needs.

DEI: What are Organizations Planning?

Following are some strategies organizations have shared to help enhance DEI initiatives:

DEI BlogDEI Strategies

Training

  • Host mandatory training for unconscious bias
  • Establish company-wide DEI training requirement for all team members
  • Conduct regular global mobility meetings to reflect on DEI and how to improve program
  • Establish Employee Resource Groups (ERG)

Policy and Processes

  • Review relocation policies for feedback and suggestions (DEI leaders)
  • Adjust policies to accommodate:
    • Needs related to dual income families
    • Barriers to women accepting assignments, e.g., family allowance, single parent support
    • Wellbeing allowance and focus on family
  • Offer flexible benefits
  • Review policy language to ensure it reflects current diverse populations (e.g., LGBTQ+)

Candidate Identification & Selection

  • Focus on diversifying expat populations
  • Identify diverse hires for intern programs
  • Increase diversity of candidate pools and workforces

 

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL & GOVERNANCE (ESG)

Organizations are focusing on meeting sustainability goals for mobility programs through  processes and policies, as well as tracking, measuring, and driving practices within the supply chain.

ESG: What are Organizations Planning?

Following are some strategies organizations have shared to help improve ESG initiatives:

  • Offer sustainable options to employees to reduce carbon footprint, e.g., virtual services, solar panels on all buildings, car ports with solar
  • Require use of Minority- and Women-Owned Businesses
  • Encourage sustainability with downstream suppliers and include carbon footprint verbiage in policies
  • Reduce look-and-see trips
  • Review policy and program offerings for ESG impacts
