With widespread globalisation among companies of all sizes, the nature of expatriate assignments is changing in length, location and frequency. Mobile employees now play a vital part in meeting companies’ needs for talent. At Baker Tilly Berk Expat Solutions, we are also seeing a greater focus on cross-border assignments as an integral part of career and leadership development.

In addition to tax, social security and legal planning issues associated with expatriate assignments, compliance requirements are becoming more complex and the fines and penalties for failing to meet those requirements are increasing. Each of these issues affects a company’s ability to manage their mobile workforce and to stay on top of a fiercely competitive market for talent. As such, it is critical that expatriate assignments are given careful attention to ensure they address the needs and expectations of the expatriate and, at the same time, achieve the company’s business objectives.

At Baker Tilly Berk Expat Solutions we work with our clients to ensure these different objectives are met, working with them to establish consistent but flexible international assignment policies.
