📝 Understanding KPIs for Cost Containment ✨Laura Bloniarz shares her insights on how cost containment is measured. Dive into her latest episode of The Business Immigration Benchmark podcast for more details. Don't miss out on these insights! ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ 📺 Watch on YouTube here: https://lnkd.in/dqmh3hcB
Immigration Attorney @ WR Immigration | Global Mobility and U.S. Immigration Compliance - Navigating Borders with Precision
After spending the last 6 months talking with clients and other immigration/GM leaders about cost containment in their programs, here are three lessons I've learned: 1. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹. Clear communication with finance is crucial to safeguard key components of your program, justify budget allocations, and support the addition of team members or technologies that will benefit your program. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱) 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺. I did this exercise recently with a client where they had been filing L and TN extensions via USCIS (given COVID era travel restrictions) and we redeployed their Blanket program for extensions at U.S. consulates to avoid the increased USCIS filing fees. And there are more opportunities like that. While you can't control some cost increases like USCIS fees for H-1B Petitions, you can adjust program strategies to offset some of those costs. If you haven't already, ask your vendor to audit your program for savings. 3. 𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗿-𝘁𝗼-𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: There are more GM benchmarking resources available than ever before. Exploring these can provide valuable insights to help you make informed cost-containment decisions for your program. That said, be aware that many public benchmarking reports 𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺. It's crucial to ensure any benchmarking data you use to make strategic decisions for your program comes from a source that aggregates survey data from 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 immigration and GM professionals. At WR, we facilitate an empirical benchmarking program that is driven by a community of immigration and GM leaders, meaning there is true transparency within the data you benchmark against.
