Virtual Assignments Pulse Survey

Recently, Cartus conducted a survey to determine whether or not clients and prospects are using—or are considering using—Virtual Assignments.

Within the group of thirty-four respondents, Cartus found that 15% are currently using Virtual Assignments. The benefits they are providing assignees include cultural training, travel coordination, and mentorship.

Of those not currently using Virtual Assignments, 28% of respondents are considering doing so on a global basis in the future. One respondent mentioned that Virtual Assignments are currently being used by assignees who returned to the U.S. early in the pandemic and were subsequently impacted when U.S. borders shut down; however, their organization does not intend to use Virtual Assignments in the future.

Global Mobility in a Virtual World: Successfully Adapting to a New Reality

Over the span of a few months, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted global markets and caused major disruptions in our economies and our daily lives. Many countries had to impose social distancing, quarantine measures, and border-closings in the hopes of managing the pandemic. Similarly, organisations had to change the way they managed their business and global mobility programs due to changes implemented by governments, leaving them with little time to stay ahead of the game and plan proactively.

Fast-forward to today. As the world starts to recover from the pandemic and adapt to a vastly different environment, there is a need for organisations and businesses to begin planning for their employees' re-entry to a "new normal."
