Here’s Why the Human Touch Still Matters

When employees accept foreign assignments, they step into a world of complexity — from immigration paperwork and cultural acclimation to housing, logistics and, yes, global tax compliance. Most global mobility programs do a strong job of supporting employees in the early stages of relocation. But what happens in year two? Year three? When the initial onboarding fades, too many professionals are left to navigate unfamiliar territory alone.

At Advanced Client Metrics (ACM), we believe support for globally mobile employees shouldn’t stop after their plane lands or once their first tax return is filed. It should continue for the full lifecycle of their assignment — and it should feel human.

Beyond Tax: Supporting the Whole Assignment is a Must

Tax filing is critical, but it’s only one element of a successful mobility program. Employees on foreign assignments need continuous, multi-dimensional support across:

• Immigration and legal documentation

• Housing and local logistics

• Healthcare navigation

• Family and spousal assistance

• Cultural orientation and language resources

• Ongoing tax and compliance obligations

• Repatriation planning and guidance

But none of this works without clear, consistent communication. And that’s where many programs fall short. Chat is putting a bandage on a bleeding wound. 

Talk to Me, Not Just Text or Chat With Me

Too often, mobile employees are routed through chatbots, online portals, or mobile apps to manage critical relocation steps. While these tools can be efficient, they often lack the nuance, empathy, and responsiveness of live communication.

That’s why ACM emphasizes telephone-based communication with relocated employees. We don’t rely solely on surveys or automated check-ins. Instead, we speak directly with your employees at critical intervals — listening to what’s working, what’s unclear, and what they need next.

This human-first approach leads to:

✅ Over 90% participation rates in our outreach

✅ Faster issue resolution and lower churn

✅ Real-time feedback your teams can act on

✅ Happier, more loyal employees/customers who feel supported abroad

Global Support That Doesn’t Go Silent

Whether your employee is filing taxes in the U.K., resolving a housing issue in Germany, or trying to understand healthcare coverage in Singapore, ACM ensures that someone is always available to talk. Not text. Not “submit a ticket.” Talk.

That’s how trust is built.

That’s how problems are prevented — before they become complaints.

And that’s how global mobility programs move from reactive to transformational.
