Frequently Asked Questions

Global Mobility Services

Relocating talent internationally comes with legal, logistical, and human complexities.
This FAQ covers the essentials— from what global mobility really means to how EMG supports companies and employees through every stage of the journey.

Global Mobility refers to the HR function that enables companies to move employees across borders for international assignments. It involves managing the legal, tax, and logistical aspects of relocating employees to other countries.

At EMG, we support companies in the Netherlands with the full spectrum of services needed to relocate and onboard international talent smoothly and compliantly.

Global Mobility Services help companies manage the complex legal, tax, and operational elements of working with an international workforce. This can range from short business trips to multi-year assignments.

Our team supports Dutch employers with:

  • Payroll & tax compliance

A Global Mobility Consultant coordinates the entire relocation journey for both the company and the employee. They act as a single point of contact—offering support with immigration, housing, registration, and cultural integration.

At EMG, our consultants ensure that each move is smooth, compliant, and human—from arrival through to repatriation if needed.

In today’s competitive market, access to global talent is a strategic advantage. Global mobility enables companies to place the right people in the right roles—wherever they’re needed—boosting innovation, growth, and retention. You must need to be a recognised sponsor or to hire a employer of record solutions.

International mobility refers to the relocation of employees across borders for work, including everything involved before, during, and after the assignment—permits, housing, integration, and return planning.

An international assignment is when a company sends an employee to work in another country, usually for a set period. These employees—often called expatriates—require tailored support to settle, stay compliant, and perform well abroad.

A global workforce includes all employees working across borders—whether in-office, remote, or on assignment. It encompasses local hires, expats, migrants, and contract workers contributing to a company’s international operations.

International workforce development helps companies expand into new markets, attract top talent, and build inclusive teams. By understanding and supporting global talent, companies strengthen their brand, culture, and long-term growth
