At Syensqo, we recognize that global mobility is essential to advancing the Company’s strategy and meeting business needs. To support this, we have established a purpose-driven framework that aligns with our business objectives, strategy, and market trends. This framework ensures our policies are fit for purpose, providing clear structure and flexible benefits where appropriate.
By investing where it matters most and offering valuable growth opportunities for our talent, we foster a strong company culture.
Additionally, our framework reflects our explorer mindset and growth agenda, while integrating sustainability goals into our policies.
The Global Mobility team, within GBS, will support this journey, throughout the different stages, managing providers and services, ensuring a smooth process and journey.
Please check below our Global Mobility presentation, with specific information about the team and the services we provide.

All moves must be communicated to the Global Mobility team (GM) via aMove Initiation form (MIF) submission. This includes New Assignments, One Way Transfers, Extensions, Repatriations, and Localisations.
The current process to follow is:
For Leader & Expert and Explorer programs above 6 months, the manager with the support of the Strategic Business Partner (SBP) must submit a business case to support the need for the assignment (not applicable for One Way Transfers and Explorer programs of less than 6 months);
After the approval of the business case, a Move Initiation Form must be submitted to initiate the services. The form can be submitted by the SBP, HR, or the manager;
The MIF will trigger Global Mobility team analysis. This includes cost estimation for business approval and clarification when required;
After the cost estimation is approved, the Global Mobility team requests the Assignment Package to the provider. This document will be used to present the transfer conditions to the employee;
If all is approved and accepted by the business and employee, Global Mobility team triggers all vendors and services and all relevant actors will be involved (employee, manager, HR, external providers);
To ensure that the new employee profile has the proper authorizations, the manager must create an Internal Move / Employee status change - IT Request. This request must be created once the immigration procedures are finalized;
If the employee is/will be a manager, the reporting relationships must be updated accordingly. An Organization Chart & Personal Data request must be created to ensure that the reporting relationships are updated.

Ad-hoc Support
In addition to our core Global Mobility services, the team may provide support on an ad-hoc basis in specific situations where local needs arise outside of the standard Global Mobility scope.
For example, in cases where immigration assistance is required but does not fall within the Global Mobility program, the team can facilitate contact with our external providers and help ensure the appropriate connection is established.
Please note that in such cases, the Global Mobility team acts as a facilitator only. The request, coordination, follow-up and cost of the service remain under the responsibility of the requesting team or local HR. The case will not be managed by Global Mobility.
To request this assistance, it is required to submit theMIF, by selecting the Ad-hoc option and completing the remaining relevant data.
This approach allows us to support the organization where needed, while maintaining focus on our core responsibilities and governance framework.
