Design a Mobility Program
that Packs More Punch
5 global mobility strategies that will
enhance talent management effectiveness
Chris Pardo, Plus Relocation
Pay matters. But, for most organisations, it’s not the
top factor that wins and keeps talent. Attracting and
retaining talent is much more about the total experience
the company offers the employee, and competitive
compensation is just a piece of that experience.
Glassdoor’s chief economist, Andrew Chamberlain, offers
key insight into the corporate proposition to employees:
“One of the most striking results we’ve
found is that, across all income levels, the
top predictor of workplace satisfaction
is not pay: It is the culture and values
of the organisation, followed closely by
the quality of senior leadership and the
career opportunities at the company.
Among the six workplace factors we
examined, compensation and benefits
were consistently rated among the
least important factors of workplace
happiness.”
So, you’re off to a good start if you didn’t scare your
candidates away in the recruitment process, or assign
new employees to a manager whose style hinders
motivation or engagement. If your company culture
is attractive and supportive, and your overall benefit
package is competitive, then it’s time to take it to the next
level and explore how your mobility program can further
contribute to an effective talent management agenda.
