OUR GLOBAL IMPACT & OUR WHY:

“In a 21st-century world where jobs can be shipped wherever there’s an Internet connection, where a child born in Dallas is now competing with a child in New Delhi, where your best job qualification is not what you do, but what you know — education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity and success, it’s a prerequisite for success.”

Anne Rossier-Renaud, principal in Mercer’s global mobility business, said that “The increased diversification of assignment types adds complexity, which can result in potential compliance and policy challenges for HR and mobility directors,” she said. “However, it also creates opportunities to positively impact the overall business strategy by mobilizing key resources in more flexible and cost effective ways.””
