NEW YORK, July 7 /PRNewswire/ --

What: "Smarter Moves: A New Approach to International Assignments and Global Mobility"

Who: Jeff Schwartz, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP, global and U.S. leader for talent services Gardiner Hempel, partner and global mobility transformation leader, Deloitte Tax LLP

When: Available immediately

Details: Deloitte has issued a new point of view on the growing need for improved global mobility processes, as well as a practical approach on how to accomplish these improvements. As companies do more and more business across national borders, business leaders are recognizing the importance of effective global mobility programs in today's rapidly changing business environment. Many corporate executives are discovering that their existing programs for handling international assignments don't adequately address all of the emerging needs of their business.

As Schwartz and Hempel point out, traditionally, global mobility programs have revolved around offering high-touch service for a small number of long-term relocations. But, with globalization, a narrow view of global mobility isn't sufficient. Consequently, Schwartz and Hempel say companies must adopt a new approach that makes global mobility a standard operating practice – one that is fast, flexible, efficient and repeatable."
