BGRS has released its annual Talent Mobility Trends Survey for the 22nd year in a row, with findings showing that employee mobility has become a high priority for senior human resource leaders and company leadership’s agenda.

Data from BGRS’ recent survey shows 63 percent of HR respondents stating employee mobility is high on leadership agenda and 85 percent recently made or currently are making strategic changes to their company’s mobility plans.

“The world’s leading companies are embracing talent mobility as an engine for growth, global expansion and workforce diversity and inclusion,” Director of Talent Mobility Consulting at BGRS and report author Joy Lee said in a press release. “With mobility now firmly in the sights of organizations’ senior leadership, we see a heightened sense of urgency and action – demonstrating a clear shift away from mobility being merely a process oriented function toward a strategically purposeful one.”

“For some organizations, it’s about deployment and getting ‘boots on the ground’, whereas for others it’s about linking mobile talent with succession and career planning,” Ellyn Karetnick, BGRS vice president and global head of talent mobility consulting, said in a statement. “In either case, focus is on contribution to business growth and how mobility can be an effective lever to drive the bottom line.”
