What Types of Companies and Industries Benefit Most from Outsourcing Global Mobility Services?
To put it succinctly, virtually any company or industry can benefit from outsourcing global mobility services. As a relocation management company (RMC), we will let you in on a secret: mobility is probably one of the most cumbersome of all benefits to attempt to administer in house.
A typical domestic relocation might include counseling, expense administration, tax gross-up, home selling assistance, household goods transportation, temporary housing and home finding assistance. Many third parties are part of this process, bringing further complexity, as a company must source, vet and manage each of their services.
Until recently, the world seemed to be moving inexorably closer, with “us” and “them” giving way to a more global sensibility. Recent populist political movements, from Brexit to Trumpism to Italy’s Five Star Movement and France’s National Rally Party, have challenged this narrative, advocating for a return of local sovereignty and the primacy of national interests. The implications are significant for global mobility and companies that depend on a free flow of talent.

In a gig employment relationship, companies do not employ workers directly and permanently. Instead, they contract workers as needed to complete a specific project or to serve for a defined term. When the contracted project work or term is completed, neither the worker nor the employer has any further obligation to the other party. The worker is free to move on to another gig. Subsequent projects might be with the same employer, a different company or sometimes even an industry competitor.
