One thing is clear, a Global Mobility Program works far better when HR and Global Mobility work together. It's a key partnership between global mobility and HR. HR relies on global mobility for guidance expertize, knowledge, and they pretty much cannot do what they do without the global mobility team.

USA Immigration & Global Mobility The Door to Opportunity Immigration is at core of the United States. A nation built on Immigration is going to be a natural home for Global Mobility. But USA Immigration can be both a challenge and a reward for Global Mobility programs. My top tip for mobility professionals supporting the immigration piece is just having a really strong partner who understands the immigration landscape and is keeping you up to date so that you know that you're able to compliantly deploy your employees anywhere in the world that you need to send them.
