Global Employee Mobility Survey Briefing

Global Employee Mobility Survey Briefing

Thursday 15th October 16:00 CET

Join Steve Cryne of the Canadian Employee Relocation Council as he outlines the largest survey on employee attitudes to global mobility of the last 10 years.  The 2025 Canadian Employee Relocation Council’s (CERC) Global Mobility Survey marks the fourth edition of the ground-breaking survey first conducted in 2011. The 2025 survey, conducted in partnership with Ipsos Global Public Affairs, reports on the attitudes of 10,574 working women and men in 19 countries towards international relocation for employment purposes. The Ipsos Global advisor poll was conducted between February 21st and March 7th, 2025.

With businesses globally facing shortages of skilled workers that stifle economic growth, the mobility of talent emerges as a key solution. However, the global economy is facing enormous pressure from protectionism and a realignment of economic integration. This project seeks to answer crucial questions, especially in the post-pandemic era and a new, economically aligned world:

How do we get people to where the jobs are? Will people move for employment reasons in the changed landscape? As future workforce growth is projected to be fueled mainly by immigration and talent mobility, understanding the needs and expectations of employees becomes paramount. While much is known about employer intentions, little research is available to inform decision-makers about employee expectations in this rapidly changing world of work.
