Key findings from the study:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Julia_Velixon\"<\/strong><\/span>Workforces are becoming more globally-dispersed.<\/strong>\u00a0 The increased globalization of many of today’s businesses, both in terms of their\u00a0penetration into new international markets, in addition to\u00a0their adoption of\u00a0global sourcing\u00a0models across IT and corporate support functions, is significantly increasing the need for global HR practices.\u00a0 More than 50% of respondents’ workforces reside outside of their corporate home country – the pressure to standardize policies and processes, manage increased workforce mobility and manage compliance needs is greater than ever.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Many senior HR\u00a0executives are stepping up into global roles, but are failing to divest of their localized issues.<\/strong>\u00a0 45% of the executives have moved into global roles over the last two-to-three years, <\/span>many of these transitioned in the last year alone.\u00a0 However, while roles are being structured globally, most of the executives have been struggling to get away from dealing with local and regional issues.\u00a0\u00a0For those working\u00a0in global roles today, 9 out of 10 have less than 3 years experience and a failing to move away from their previous localized job roles:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

HR… stepping up into global roles?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Lack of standardization.<\/strong>\u00a0 The lack of a consistent approach to governance and compliance, especially in Europe and Asia – where employment and tax laws vary widely in different jurisdictions – creates further challenges for HR leaders.\u00a0 There is also a lack of standardization around the approach to global mobility, which hinder’s HR’s ability to apply consistent procedures to the compensation and benefits of a workforce that has been growing rapidly.\u00a0 It is becoming increasingly important for companies to properly manage the logistics of moving there employees from country to country.<\/p>\n
