As organizations plan for 2026, it’s tempting to reduce the future of work to a single storyline: artificial intelligence. And for good reason. AI is already reshaping how work gets done, forcing employers and employees alike to rethink what a “job” even means. But AI is...
Artificial intelligence is often framed as a productivity breakthrough—a way for organizations to do more with fewer people. At the same time, employers across advanced economies are facing a different, more immediate reality: fewer workers are entering the labor force just as large numbers of...
Your relocation program does more than move employees from Point A to Point B. It plays a direct role in attracting talent, supporting employee wellbeing, and enabling market expansion. As organizations grow, the central question evolves—from “How do we support moves inside the country?” to...
Some people assume quiet firing is a local workplace issue—something that happens inside a single office, a single team, or a single country. But anyone who has worked in global mobility long enough knows that the dynamics of international assignments can actually make quiet firing...
The debate over artificial intelligence and the future of work is no longer theoretical—it’s showing up in people’s daily jobs, career decisions, and expectations of leadership. PwC’s Global Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey 2025, based on nearly 50,000 workers across 48 economies, suggests a clear...

For global mobility professionals—who manage cross-border assignments,...
As 2025 heads into its final stretch, global mobility leaders are preparing for a period of continued complexity, heightened expectations, and accelerating change. The forces shaping mobility next year—geopolitical instability, hybrid work experimentation, cost pressure, and rapid technology adoption—may not fade. Instead, they will intensify...
Global mobility professionals have long been responsible for ensuring smooth, compliant, and cost-efficient employee moves across borders. But as workforces become more distributed and international assignments more fluid, payroll—once considered “an HR or finance function”—is now deeply intertwined with mobility strategy. Timely payments, tax accuracy,...
Global mobility used to be about logistics, incentives, and career opportunities. Now it sits at the intersection of three hard forces: rising costs, stricter enforcement, and employees who are more selective than ever about uprooting their lives. The “nice-to-have” era of relocations is over. Mobility...
A few years ago, Strategy Analytics estimated that the global mobile workforce would reach 1.87 billion people by 2022—about 42% of the world’s workforce. That prediction has largely played out. Remote and mobile work are no longer fringe options; they’re baked into how companies attract,...
