Short-term assignments are often regarded by businesses as a simpler alternative to their long-term counterparts, meaning that remuneration, policies and procedures may be given less attention. This session will look at:

• Where short-term assignments fit in a modern mobility context

• How companies remunerate their short-term assignees to attract and retain talent

• Practical procedures and policy implications

This interactive discussion examines the changing dynamic of today’s mobile employee and discusses how to create a personalised and enhanced experience through increased exibility, automation and communication. We will explore the importance of utilising di erent data sets, such as employee pulse checks and your Global Mobility ecosystem, to analyse trends for evidence-based planning and decision making.

The session will focus on latest mobility trends and guidance regarding latest tax and social security developments around the world but with a particular focus on the UK.

The session will be of particular relevance for all global mobility, payroll, human resource, tax and nance sta involved with international cross border workers.

Short-term assignments and extended business trips are becoming the norm as businesses seek more exibility to manage talent, meet business needs and explore growth opportunities in new destinations, including emerging markets. For HR and Global Mobility professionals this means added pressure to navigate a variety of regulations, legislations and risk environments while ensuring employees have the support they need to stay productive and engaged. But these challenges also bring new opportunities to enhance the value contribution of people and mobility management.

This session will provide useful, actionable information for HR and GM professionals by sharing examples and best practices.

The immigration update will cover EU citizens’ rights after Brexit and the future of the UK’s immigration system

There are two main approaches to the design of an expatriate compensation package for a long-term assignee – either the assignment terms are based on the country where they were working before the assignment began or the terms of the country where they will be working in the future. The Gallagher Mobility team will explore the components which both of these packages are based on as well as discuss the issues behind both approaches so that the HR professional can determine when each system should be applied.
