Highly successful employee mobility programs today thrive on a careful blend of flexibility, adaptability, consistency, and equitability. This balance can be achieved through strategic utilization of technology and clear expectation setting about policy limitations and maximum assignment durations. With an investment in process automation, mobility teams can achieve a seamless integration between the employee choices inherent to today’s flexible policy structures, cost estimates, reporting, and benefit communications such as relocation offer letters/ letters of assignment. 

The purpose of this survey was to glean insights into the policies and practices of domestic U.S. mobility programs, specifically those related to permanent relocations. Gathering responses from 42 companies across various sectors, the goal was to understand how these organizations manage their relocation programs and gauge their outlook on the opportunities and challenges impacting the programs recently and likely trends in the year ahead.

Organizations focused on optimizing cost performance are increasingly adopting core-flex approaches for employee mobility benefits. These policy types are fast becoming the norm and are particularly popular for permanent transfers of lower level profiles and inexperienced new hires. According to Benivo’s 2023 Core-Flex Policy Benchmark Survey, among the 64 respondents 53% indicated they have core-flex policies in place, and among those without core-flex today 90% report either having the policy types in development or on their radar for future use.
