The human skill-set might be expansive beyond all known limits, but it has still never possessed anything more valuable than that tendency of ours to grow on a consistent basis. This is because the stated tendency has already got us to hit upon some huge milestones, with technology appearing as quite a major member of the group. The reason why we hold technology in such a high regard is, by and large predicated upon its skill-set, which ushered us towards a reality that nobody could have ever imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, a closer look should be able to reveal how the whole runner was also, rather immensely, inspired from the way we applied those skills across a real-world setting. In fact, the latter component was what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence, and consequentially, kickstarted a tech revolution. This revolution, as we went on to discover, will scale up the human experience from all conceivable directions, but even after achieving such a monumental feat, technology will somehow continue to deliver every right good in the book. The same has grown to become a lot more evident in recent times, and truth be told, an impending upgrade will only propel that trend towards greater heights moving forward.
Topia, the leader in global talent mobility and distributed work technology, has officially announced its plan to launch a new functionality, which will be purposed around helping HR and global mobility departments in managing groups, project teams, and bulk moves more effectively. If you want to understand the significance of such a development, you must, at first, acknowledge how big companies often look at moving large numbers of employees to different locations. The reasons for doing so can range from new sites opening or projects being carried out in other locations to teams being sent for conferences or large-scale onboarding of graduate recruits. Anyway, whenever the stated transfer is required, it becomes the HR and mobility professionals’ responsibility to get a comprehensive view of the mobile group and any associated mobility cost, along with service delivery and risks. Now, as straightforward as it sounds, the whole operation can actually prove to be quite complex. But how will Topia’s latest feature solve this complexity?
Well, by bringing fresh capabilities to the company’s famous global talent mobility and distributed work platform, the new feature will let users manage dedicated initiation and active management workflows for mobility groups that include some combinations of assignees, localizing employees, commuters, and business travelers. Next up, it will deliver the infrastructure to run cost simulations for identifying and optimizing all the mobility costs. Hold on, there is more. The feature will also empower you to generate pre-travel risk assessments on a group basis, thus ensuring that any compliance issues are identified beforehand. Lastly, for smooth execution of these options, it will provide you an option to report at a group level.
“We’re excited to be developing this feature to help support all of the ways we’re seeing companies mobilize groups or teams to move around the world – whether it be driven by the nature of their industry, such as oil/gas, defense or professional services, or by ad hoc events, such as office moves, group travel or redundancy programs,” said Chantel Rowe, VP of Product at Topia.”We want to ensure our customers have the tools they need to get the right teams in place wherever they need to be in the world, while also optimizing and managing cost and compliance risk.”
Founded in 2010, Topia has reimagined the concept of employee mobility by adding an automated edge to our entire global talent mobility process. This covers scenario-based planning, expat payroll, tax and immigration compliance, reporting, and more. The company’s excellence in what it does is even validated through the fact that it currently serves plenty of big players, such as Dell, Veolia, Equinor and AXA. Etc.
