ITX can help you develop a framework of fully-compliant policies and processes to hire and manage employees who will work remotely across borders, often called “Virtual Assignees”. A formal framework is critical, to ensure governance and compliance. The potential benefits to your organisation include:
- Support your business needs by allowing remote access to all the skills & experience available within your organisation
- Reduce the timelines and start cross-border projects faster, without the need to wait for immigration and relocation timelines
Manage the cost of international assignment programs, when a virtual arrangement is a viable option
- Enable the hiring of new talent, regardless of their location or their ability to move physically
- Secure the preferred candidate quickly
- Increase employee engagement by providing flexibility in terms of work location
- Provide options for retaining “trailing spouses”, i.e. employees who need to follow their partners overseas, but would like to retain their job in their home location
Promote team diversity by creating virtual teams that benefit from different experiences and perspectives
- Allow a broad range of employees to pursue learning and career opportunities not available in their home countries
- Provide international experience opportunities to employees who are unable to move physically for various reasons (e.g. disability, medical conditions, family circumstances)
Develop a “global mindset” in leaders and employees and embed it into the company’s culture by creating a truly global “virtual organisation”.
