The Newland Chase 2025 Global Mobility & Immigration Survey reveals a profession at a crossroads. For this study, Newland Chase tapped the expertise of 100 HR and mobility leaders to understand how organizations are managing immigration and relocations in an era defined by hybrid work, geopolitical volatility, and rapid regulatory change. Their collective responses paint a picture of a function that is more strategic than ever, yet grappling with new demands and heightened complexity.
