Global Transfer Trends Report

Aires is pleased to present the latest report in our continuing series of annual benchmarking research – the 2018 Global Transfer Trends Report.


The research associated with the 2018 Global Transfer Trends Report captures current benchmark data, highlighting best practices of organizations that relocate employees permanently across borders.  The results confirm what we have known to be true - there are many different names for global transfers and there are many different policy structures to support these types of moves. Global Transfers include policy names such as International Relocation, Permanent Relocation, Local Hire, and Local Plus, just to name a few. Policy benefits may range from a few key expenses to fully managed support and coverage of all expenses.


The Aires 2018 Global Transfer Trends Report is based on research conducted between July and August and includes 113 multinational companies with established global permanent relocation activity and formalized, written policies. The 113 companies in this study have at
least five globally transferred employees per year. Further analyzing the make-up of companies in this study, 70% are active Aires clients, and 30% are not current Aires clients but chose to participate in the study via an online survey.


Below is a sneak peek of the Global Transfer Trends Survey.
