Future workforce and talent mobility

According to Mercer, the top destinations for company-initiated assignments for millennial's are:

  1. United States
  2. United Kingdom
  3. China
  4. Singapore
  5. Brazil
  6. Germany

Millennials want international work experiences to meet their long-term career aspirations. It is expected that with this desire within a growing portion of the workforce, there will be major effects that talent and mobility programs will feel.    

According to this article, Michael Dickmann, professor of international HR management at Cranfield University, explains that “GM professionals will work with individuals who want a tailored solution in response to their goals and situations. Millennials, and to some extent earlier generations, are already pushing an individualisation agenda quite hard.”

If you haven't already, it might be time to start dreaming up meaningful, targeted, flexible and personalized benefits that support talent mobility. Give your company a global advantage when it comes to attracting, developing and retaining its future workforce around the world.  

“GM professionals will work with individuals who want a tailored solution in response to their goals and situations,” Dickmann said. “Millennials, and to some extent earlier generations, are already pushing an individualisation agenda quite hard.” He warned that there was a “danger in assuming you know what your people want”, which can lead to “some big and expensive surprises”.
