      Based on insights from 456 multinational enterprises across 29 jurisdictions and 12 industries, this year’s report uncovers six imperatives shaping the future of global mobility. Discover how organizations are moving beyond compliance and cost management to focus on efficiency, strategic alignment, and exceptional employee experiences.



      The 2025 KPMG Global Mobility Benchmarking Survey underscores the increasing strategic importance of global mobility within organizations’ broader business and talent agendas. This year’s results reflect a clear pivot toward demonstrating ROI, modernizing policies to support flexible work models, and adopting AI‑enabled solutions to enhance efficiency, compliance, and decision‑making.
