With the challenges we are currently facing around the globe, organizations like AdoptAClassroom.org are essential in keeping education available for students, parents, and teachers. We are proud to be partnering with them for our seventh annual Beards and Braids for Busy Season campaign—raising awareness and funds to provide COVID-19 relief for educators and their students.

To say these are unprecedented times would be something of an understatement. GTN, along with our friends and affiliates in the mobility industry, was built on the movement of human capital around the globe for business.

Sending business travelers on tax-equalized assignments around the globe often makes good business sense, but how to account for the tax costs associated with assignments can be challenging. To ensure incremental tax obligations don’t take you by surprise, it helps to have a process in place so you’ll be prepared for the additional expenses your mobile workers trigger along the way. To do this, many companies implement an accrual solution.

As coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to spread around the globe, many companies are beginning to issue travel bans on their staff—or certainly banning non-essential travel. Companies are also working to determine next steps for mobile employees who are on extended business trips or longer-term assignments. These employees may find themselves stranded in a location other than their Home country or their company may be trying to evacuate them from a “hot area.”

International Women’s Day is recognized each year on March 8. This day celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women around the globe. In honor of this day, we wanted to share recent articles written by some of GTN’s amazing women.
