As the world reopens its doors, employee interest in assuming a work assignment abroad has rapidly increased. However, with work-from-anywhere now playing a larger role in global assignments, the globally-mobile workforce of the future will expand to encompass a wider range of roles, from work-from-home, to hybrid, to in-person assignments.
MetLife’s Annual Expat Employee Benefit Trends Study reveals:
- 50% of employees surveyed express interest in working in a foreign country, a number that’s expected to climb in the near future
- Nearly half of globally-mobile employees report greater levels of stress, burnout, and depression than in previous years
- Globally-mobile employees take a global view of their well-being, putting a premium on mental, financial, emotional, and physical health
- There is an increased demand for and value on benefits that provide holistic support
Amid this landscape, a strong employee benefits program can help companies with globally-mobile populations gain the tools necessary to thrive in a transformed world.
