Trends in Global Compensation

Abstract

Organizations that forge ahead in cultivating exceptionally talented professionals with the desire to experience new roles in new places will shape the world's economic future. The best way to build a global workforce with the right knowl-edge and ability is to offer a good compensation program and career growth and opportunity. As the world's economy evolves into an evermore complex and interrelated system, global organi-zations are facing an increasingly complicated task in finding, motivating and retaining talent. This article examines expatriate compensation and the broader issues of global compensation planning for traditional expatriates, local nation-als and the evolving class of "global employees" who fall somewhere between the two.
