Permanent transfers are becoming an increasingly common type of international move for many organisations, often favoured for their cost-effectiveness for the company or the fresh challenge they represent for the employee. ECA’s recent Permanent Transfers Survey found that over half of companies have seen an increase in the proportion of one-way relocations they manage in relation to their overall global mobility population in the last three years and nearly two-thirds predict an increase in the next three years.
Given the permanent nature of these moves, transferees are typically paid host-based salaries and offered at least some form of company support with the relocation process itself. However, the extent to which company assistance is provided on an ongoing basis is more variable, differing according to factors such as whether the company or the employee initiated the move. To give you an overview of the findings, we have prepared a handy infographic highlighting the latest trends in compensation and benefits provision for employees who are relocated abroad indefinitely:
