Legal requirements.
As requirements for legal compliance become more fluid, organizations may be faced with unanticipated delays and the need for additional documentation. For existing assignees, addressing issues associated with visa renewals and related gaps in employment authorization can take extra time. New assignees may be impacted by requirements to provide travel history and health records/screenings. By taking a proactive stance, anticipating the possibility of needing to comply with additional requirements, organizations can experience less disruption and instill greater confidence in the assignees being asked to relocate.
Each of these should be reviewed in conjunction with the organization’s approach to duty of care and decisions made accordingly about whether or not to proceed with an overseas assignment. Whilst the situation remains uncertain and challenging, there are a range of resources available to help implement a successful global mobility program. Whether your organization is looking to relocate an employee for the first time, or restart global relocation activity, we can help.
