Multinational companies have long wrestled with the challenge of effectively governing and managing a global workforce. Striking the right balance between a globally consistent strategy and local flexibility requires ongoing monitoring, supported by a keen understanding of local regulations, cultures and demographics.

• Does your governance ensure systematic oversight of risks and opportunities while providing employees with competitive benefits?
• Are you maximizing the value your employees and organizations derive from your reward spend around the world?
• Do you have a documented process to ensure your health and retirement programs not only improve employees’ health but also comply with local laws and regulations?
• Do you have an effective global workforce strategy to reduce or control benefit costs?
