business1.jpgLump sums are an attractive option for both employer and employee. With the time now right for relocation professionals and assignees to embrace more innovative and cost-effective compensation and IT solutions, Ruth Holmes asks if technology can be used to overcome the obstacles associated with current lump-sum practices.

Great leaps in consumer technologies have fundamentally changed how we live, interact and do business. Technology is now enmeshed in practically every part of our daily lives. We rely on it for information, guidance, organising our work and social lives, and as a portal to our increasingly self-serviced consumer choices.

tech1.jpgAs in other sectors, technology is raising the bar in relocation. We look at innovations that will make HR and relocation professionals’ jobs easier, from the latest developments in employee tracking to immigration compliance tools, and consider how cloud-based solutions can benefit HR.

Keeping up with technological advances across the wide range of disciplines that impact upon managing global employees is a hard task, but a worthwhile one, as it affects the management of international talent, cost and efficiency.
