It covers key areas of employee mobility including Business Vehicles, Business Travel, Mobile Device Management, Domestic Relocation and International Assignments.
"We're pleased that the survey findings show that many companies recognize the need for and have implemented solid mobility management practices," said Greg Harper, President and CEO of Runzheimer International. "The survey findings also demonstrate the opportunity for low growth companies to reevaluate their mobility management programs to ensure the right policies, processes, and investments are in place to enable growth. Our annual mobility report provides all companies the opportunity to measure their mobility investments and understand program performance relative to their peers."
"Growing companies are investing more in mobile employees, and it is paying off," Harper added. "This theme is consistent with prior survey findings, but it has never been as evident as in this year's results."
