Transformation in the age of uncertainty | Automotive sector insights

The automotive industry is undergoing yet another industrial evolution; alternative fuel-sources to existing fossil-fuels become increasingly common and driverless transportation is no longer the confines of the cinematic industry. The automotive industry has certainly been made to re-think its strategy over the next five, ten, twenty years and beyond.

In this Report we explore some of the key differences between Global Mobility functions working in the automotive sector compared to global mobility functions across the wider business landscape. Automotive companies represent the fifth largest percentage of respondents (7%) to Santa Fe’s 2018 Global Mobility Survey with a total headcount of c. 465,000 employees worldwide.

Designed for Global Mobility professionals. This report is part of our ‘Global Mobility Insights’ series and draws from the research findings in Santa Fe Relocation’s 2018 Global Mobility Survey REACT Transformation in the age of uncertainty.
