The NetExpat/EY Relocating Partner Survey Report 2023 serves as a benchmark for companies as they evolve their relocation policies and bring awareness to the importance of the relocating partner. This latest survey gathers feedback from 650 corporate HR representatives, mobile employees and their partners. It highlights that in recent years there has been a marked and increased focus on employee and family experience, well being and DE&I. These results align with the Permits Foundation survey reports, enhancing the case for international dual careers support.
