You ask, we deliver!
Two years ago we launched our first online training course – Principles of Global Mobility – which enables participants to learn about the wonderful world of Global Mobility, at their own pace and in their preferred environment.
Incredibly popular and well-received, many of you have been asking for more. We’ve heard you – enter the room, our new Short-term Assignments course!
What is it?
In short, this training course will take you through the various principles relating to short-term international assignments (STA) – covering in detail all aspects of compensation and benefits, tax governance, and immigration and payroll considerations.
It’s an online course featuring five modules to complete in your own time, packed with information and incorporating interactive activities for an engaging learning experience. Depending on your existing knowledge and how much you reference supporting resources, in one sitting it would take around two to three hours to work through the content.
Why is it beneficial?
Because you will gain the practical knowledge you need to structure short-term assignment packages confidently and deliver them in a compliant manner.
Organisations send employees abroad for various reasons and durations. Short-term assignments may serve as the company’s initial exposure to global mobility. They are also increasingly crucial to the global mobility frameworks of many, evolving to become an essential means of moving talent internationally for a wide range of purposes.
However, short-term assignments have many tricky nuances and can present a host of challenges for both the company and employee. Our new course is now here to help you deliver successful, compliant and cost-effective STAs.
Much like Principles of Global Mobility, whatever the capacity of your involvement in global mobility, this new course will increase your subject matter expertise – so, the question is, why wouldn’t you want to benefit from that?
Who is it for?
Whether your GM programme has an existing short-term assignment policy, or you are looking at reviewing it, or drawing one up from scratch, this course will fuel you with all you need to know to confidently structure remuneration packages and navigate the various compliance challenges – via five bite-size modules covering:
- Topic 1: Background & context
- Topic 2: Compensation
- Topic 3: Support & benefits
- Topic 4: Payroll considerations
- Topic 5: Compliance considerations
Here at ECA this course is now also part of the onboarding process for most of our new joiners – that’s how much we believe in the quality and benefits of our own product!
When and where do I complete this course?
Whenever you want, wherever you want. Our online training is offered on-demand, meaning you can start and complete the modules when and where convenient for you.
Learners are given access to the training course for ninety days (from when you first go to access the course, not from the day of purchase). With its modular design, you can then work through the content at your own pace, stopping and restarting as it suits your schedule. As for where, whatever works for you! Whether that’s at your workplace, your kitchen table, or while enjoying a pain-au-chocolat in your local café.
On top of your newfound knowledge, you will also receive a certificate upon completion.
