After all, today’s mobile employees still want more flexibility and control, but they desperately need support to manage the new complexities of global relocation. Amid lingering recession fears, employers need mobility programs that are cost-effective, streamlined, and easy to administer, but magnetic enough to attract — and most critically, retain — top talent. Agility is in high demand and core/flex mobility policies are touted as the hero; flexible enough to bend to the needs of employees but structured enough to easily initiate and manage.

Despite all the hype around flexible mobility and the core/flex model, the vast majority of companies report that they don’t yet offer any form of choice in their programs. Why? They still have many questions about the core/flex framework and how to make it work for them. This points to a greater need to take the mystery out of flexible mobility and to demonstrate how these models can be adapted to meet employee and business goals.
