Helping you to manage your mobility files
HR departments must aim mainly at implementing mobility packages compliant with legislation of host countries, to secure employee’s assignments abroad and ensure they are the best and safest possible.
How to approach the secondment of an employee abroad? What are the formalities to go through?
What are the costs? How to create a package and organise the transfer?
These are some of the challenges Grant Thornton Luxembourg can resolve by providing you with a follow-up to help you manage your mobility files.
