Cartus Corporation Reveals Trends in Domestic Mobility for 2025
In a recent report by Cartus Corporation, a leader in talent mobility, a clear picture of domestic mobility for 2025 has emerged, showcasing critical trends affecting both US and Canadian companies. Over 70% of organizations surveyed indicated either stable or increased relocation volumes, suggesting a robust market driven by company growth and a shortage of local talent.
Key Findings from the Survey
According to the
Cartus US and Canada Domestic Mobility Survey 2025, gathered from more than 100 HR and mobility professionals, several themes stand out:
1.
Improving Employee Experience
The foremost priority identified in the survey is enhancing the employee experience. Companies are focusing on this aspect to ensure smoother transitions for employees during relocations, which can significantly impact employee satisfaction and retention.
2.
Cost Management Challenges
While relocation volumes are on the rise, over 51% of respondents reported rising costs as a significant challenge. Companies are tackling these expenses through various strategies, such as:
- Streamlining processes (42%)
- Introducing flexible policy benefits (37%)
- Utilizing lump sum payments (28%)
These actions highlight the need for organizations to balance employee satisfaction with financial considerations.
3.
Remote Work and Extended Business Travel
The shift towards remote work has been persistent, with 39% of companies employing remote workers. However, 71% of these businesses do not provide sponsored benefits for these workers, indicating a potential area for improvement.
4.
Emphasis on Sustainability and Inclusivity
The survey also revealed that 48% of companies are adopting non-traditional mobility services, including discard and donate programs, settling-in support, and additional time off. These initiatives are in line with broader Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals, ensuring that mobility policies resonate with modern corporate values.
Challenges and Opportunities
The findings from the Cartus survey illuminate the ongoing challenges faced by organizations as they navigate the complex landscape of talent mobility. The dual emphasis on providing excellent employee experiences while maintaining cost efficiency underscores the intricate balancing act businesses must perform.
