The need for technology to manage talent mobility
Global mobility was late to the HR tech transformation party even though deploying and leveraging talent across borders is a crucial element to global talent strategy. Thankfully, today, Topia offers a world-class technology solution for organizations to manage this process.
However, leading global talent mobility technology has been seen as something only needed by or afforded to larger mobility programs. It wasn’t uncommon to hear the sentiment that “technology is too expensive” or “too complex.” This is in spite of the fact that smaller organizations and mobility programs still face many of the same challenges their larger counterparts do and oftentimes have HR teams needing to pull double or triple duty to become mobility experts on the side.
When we looked at the market we found that smaller mobility programs were largely being underserved despite facing problems that could easily be addressed by technology. Some typical smaller-program challenges include:
- Steady program growth meaning manual admin becomes overwhelming
- Rapid expansion in a high growth company can break processes overnight
- Heavy reliance on pay-per-calculation cost estimates and data tables without always seeing the annual cost
- Increased pressure on mobility to be more strategic
- Employee experience initiatives that expect best in class employee experiences
- Partially used RMC tech that only shows part of the picture
Now, just like there are solutions for smaller organizations to manage recruiting, benefits, payroll, and other areas of HR and talent management, there’s an option for global talent mobility as well – Topia Select.
What is Topia Select
Topia Select gives organizations with less than 200 annual moves – including cross border hires, permanent transfers, STAs and LTAs, and more – the essential tools and innovative functionality they need to automate their mobility program and deliver more strategic value to their business without the need to do any lengthy customized implementations. Instead, we’re able to offer organizations workflows, tasks, data, document generation, calculations, reporting, and more with out-of-the-box best practices built-in and just the right amount of configurability. You can go live in as little as a few weeks at a price that makes sense for smaller programs.
