For the global economy to function at its highest level, sophisticated global business strategies are required. These will inevitably involve the fluid and flexible movement of employees across borders. However, the time of work visas and residency permits being the sole concern of employers is over. Immigration is now a complex mechanism and being aware of the fine details and proposed changes to immigration and its policies is vital in securing a successful global mobility strategy for your business.
Immigration lawyers in the UK from Simply.Law will be able to give expert advice on the impact of increased global mobility for company employees, plus related visa legal advice.
Although globalisation is becoming more and more the norm, there are still many outdated workforce movement programmes being used and some of these are no longer suitable for today’s global mobility needs. For companies with worldwide operations, global employee mobility is essential for effective and efficient workforce mobilisation which drives successful business continuity. This can apply equally to those in very different situations, such as:
- those who are frequent business travellers
- those who are taking up short term positions
- those who are permanent international transfers
