This guide from ISS Relocations — a trusted name in corporate and international relocation across the UAE — offers a deep dive into mobility services, what they include, who they benefit, and how your business can leverage them for successful employee relocation.
Mobility services refer to the comprehensive solutions designed to assist businesses in relocating employees — domestically or internationally — for both short-term assignments and long-term transfers. These services go beyond shipping belongings. They encompass:
Visa and immigration management
Destination services (housing, schooling, utilities)
Cultural and language training
Family and spouse support
Settling-in assistance
Departure and repatriation planning
Mobility services are typically managed in partnership with relocation providers like ISS Relocations, who help employers handle all logistical, legal, and emotional aspects of relocation for the employee and their family.

Ensures faster onboarding and minimal downtime
Enhances employee satisfaction and retention
Reduces compliance risks related to immigration and labor law
Strengthens your company’s global talent acquisition efforts
