MORRIS PLAINS, NJ— Weichert Workforce Mobility's Game Changers in Your Future Weichert's Jennifer Connell Weichert Workforce Mobility's Connell

• An increasingly diverse mobile workforce coupled with unrelenting pressure to control costs will probably give rise to a “policy of one”—mobility benefits packages tailored to individual needs and goals. This is evident in the growing popularity of core/flex programs through which companies offer standard “core” benefits alongside flexible benefits that match unique employee situations. Twenty-two percent of respondents are using core/flex programs, and 56% think these programs will grow this year.
• Only two percent of respondents claim to successfully measure mobility ROI, despite the fact that this data can help them illustrate how mobility is helping to drive recruitment, engagement, retention and leadership development across their organizations.
• Practically all respondents (98%) reported that their programs are managed centrally, but 76% said costs are decentralized. This gives mobility professionals the dual challenge of having to manage the function efficiently while meeting the budget constraints and objectives of wildly divergent business units. The continued inability of HR and business units to find a common perspective on workforce mobility can bring serious risks.
