In many ways, it seems like a lifetime ago that the day-to-day focus of relocation program managers and service providers was related either to moving employees within their home countries or to sending employees to established international destinations.

I recently spoke at the U.S. Totally Expat Show in New York City organized by The Forum for Expatriate Management. During the session, I reviewed data from our recent survey on emerging markets—a particularly hot topic for our clients as corporations continue to expand into new territories to help drive their growth.
Our survey’s data revealed that multinational corporations are actively pursuing business opportunities in the countries they consider emerging markets. Called “Mobility Challenges in Emerging Markets,” the report found that more than half (51 percent) of respondents indicated that emerging markets are currently more important than traditional markets, while fewer [...] Read More
