Mobility Definition

Smiths recognise that people’s personal circumstances are susceptible to change however it is useful for planning purposes to have an appreciation of the geographic mobility of the employees with the leadership talent pool.

Local: Employees who would prefer at this time to remain in the geographic area in which they currently reside.

Regional: Employees who would be open to moving but would prefer to stay within a known culture such as North or South America or perhaps Italy or the UK.

Global: Employees who would be open to moves anywhere in the world in order to advance their career. There may be slight limitations to this commitment which are known.
