The high level of specialization and significant investment of companies in key employees require a wider pool from where to draw human capital. Internationalization creates solutions and opportunities traditionally unavailable and mobility becomes an extended practice. However, what brings added value is the administration of the mobility.

A job abroad is considered as a career opportunity but there are factors surrounding an employee’s dislocation that need to be taken into serious account as they will require intense adjustment to the candidate and family.

Multinationals must prepare a comprehensive and well structured mobility plan in order to be cost effective and guarantee a desirable successful outcome both for the company and the employee.
