Managing a high-performing global mobility program requires significant expertise and rigorous attention to detail. One of the most critical and challenging aspects of managing a mobility program is properly managing the immigration elements of each and every employee situation.
Navigating the wide variety of rules and requirements, and staying aware of the changes for business and work permits around the world is no small task. Making sure that each employee has all of the right travel and residence documentation for arrival, and also making sure that while they are in the host/destination country, their visa and work permit statuses remain valid is essential to global mobility program compliancy.
