Mercer&#39;s Jeff Miller and Julia Velixon discussed the results of their new study, conducted with the Harvard Business School,&#160;based on interviews with&#160;senior HR leaders from 60 global corporations.&#160; Some key points of note:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Workforces are becoming more globally-dispersed.<\/strong>&#160; More than 50% of respondents&#39; workforces reside outside of their corporate home country &#8211; the pressure to standardize policies and processes, manage increased workforce mobility and manage compliance needs is greater than ever;\n<li><strong>Many senior HR&#160;executives are stepping up into global roles, but are finding the transition challenging.<\/strong>&#160; 45% of the executives have moved into global roles over the last two-to-three years &#8211; many of these transitioned in the last year alone.&#160; However, while roles are being structured globally, most of the executives have been struggling to get away from dealing with local and regional issues.&#160;\n<li><strong>Lack of standardization.<\/strong>&#160; The lack of a consistent approach to governance and compliance, especially in Europe and Asia &#8211; where employment and tax laws vary widely in different jurisdictions &#8211; creates further challenges for HR leaders.&#160; There is also a lack of standardization around the approach to global mobility, which hinder&#39;s HR&#39;s ability to apply consistent procedures to the compensation and benefits of a workforce that has been growing rapidly.&#160; It is becoming increasingly important for companies to properly manage the logistics of moving there employees from country to country.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Food-for-thought&#8230;more to follow<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Been listening to some excellent discussions at Mercer&#39;s client event, where the central theme is all about globalization.&#160;
