Running a successful global mobility function
The future of work is uncertain, but mobility will most certainly play a role. There are so many possibilities to get the right talent in the right positions - whether it’s a physical or virtual relocation or assignment – and KPMG can help you to plan out your mobility strategy so that it’s aligned with your talent strategy, considering the issues in any country where you do business or have employees. Our Mobility Consulting Services include:
- Policy design, considering not just tax and legal issues, but employee experience and ESG considerations
- Travel tracking process and technology assistance
- Assignment cost projection
- Taxable benefits review
- Payroll and social security advisory
- Coordination with mobility vendors
Managing your global tax and payroll compliance obligations
Foreign assignments, relocations, business travel and remote work arrangements may create personal tax issues for the employee and payroll and corporate tax issues for the employer. KPMG can work with your organization and employees to address the compliance in any country where you do business or have employees, whether fully outsourced or providing support to allow you to manage the compliance internally.
Managing the complexities of your business travelers
Sending employees abroad serves many purposes, including filling skills gaps, sharing local expertise with team members in other locations, providing career development opportunities, and creating greater cultural diversity throughout the organization. Employee business travel generates many opportunities, but it also exposes employers and their employees to risk. KPMG can assist in understanding the issues, how to navigate the tax and legal complexity, and manage the risks.
Enabling your employees to work from anywhere (WFA)
As we all strive to cope and adapt to the new reality and rapidly changing landscape, many organizations are being forced to quickly adapt to remote ways of working. Allowing employees the flexibility to work remotely may be an important factor in becoming the employer of choice and may allow organizations to broaden their talent pools outside of their local environment. KPMG’s team of experienced professionals have the capabilities to develop a customized and sustainable WFA program to address your organization’s tax, immigration, and employment and labour needs, as well as to address employee experience and cyber security considerations.
Transforming your global rewards program
Constantly evolving governmental regulations throughout the world and rapid technological advances make designing and administering effective and cost-efficient compensation and benefit plans increasingly complex—yet vital to a company’s ability to thrive in the global marketplace. Here’s how KPMG can help:
- Compensation program design and implementation for executive and broad-based programs, including tax, legal and benchmarking considerations
- Advising on international tax issues related to various forms of incentive compensation, including equity, pension and benefits plans
- Equity administration
