Our take — The report's headline framing is "resilience." The actual finding: 35% of companies saw mobility volume go up, 34% saw it go down, 31% stayed flat. That's not a trend — that's a coin flip with a third option. Meanwhile 75% now outsource expat comp to a tax provider or RMC (up from 58%), and business travelers just dethroned long-term assignments as the #1 anticipated move type. The industry built on three-year expat packages is quietly becoming an industry that books flights.

This Month's Debate

Recent Responses
"While costs appear to go up to implement the automation, the increase in files worked has grown at a greater rate. Per-file cost is actually down meaningfully."
— Operations Manager, Relocation Provider
"The savings are real on intake and doc processing. But exceptions, tax, and visa work still need humans — and that's where the real cost lives."
— Global Mobility Consultant
"We've redeployed data-entry staff to exception handling rather than cut headcount. Same spend, different work."
