Core/Flex Educational Series: The Technology Advantage 07.12.2023 | Jennifer Connell

Today’s mobile employees want more flexibility and control, but need support to manage the new complexities of global relocation. Companies want mobility programs that are cost-effective, streamlined, and easy to administer, but magnetic enough to attract and retain top talent. Agility is in high demand and core/flex mobility policies are being touted as the hero; flexible enough to bend to the needs of your employees, but structured enough to initiate and manage easily.

Despite all the buzz around flexible mobility and the core/flex model, currently, only about 35% of companies report offering some form of choice in their programs. But our clients and prospects alike 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 your employee and business goals.

So, employees are in control, but never alone. Another big win of these tech-driven programs is the potential for powerful tracking and reporting capabilities.
