Welcome to Topia - Work Everywhere

When we launched MOVE Guides six years ago in London, we foresaw a workforce that would become increasingly agile and mobile over the next decade. Economies were growing increasingly interdependent; millennials wanted more dynamic purpose-driven work; and AI was replacing traditional jobs leaving talent to be reskilled and redeployed into new roles and different locations. Global Mobility was the great enabler of these trends.

We’ve intentionally built a Global Mobility Management (GMM) suite to power this Future of Work. Today, we enable all parts of global mobility with a single solution – from scenario planning, cost projections and approvals; to relocation management and employee assimilation; to assignment administration; to immigration data and tracking; to expatriate compensation and payroll; to comprehensive analytics; and much more. To support our products and customers, our team has grown with offices in nearly every major time zone across the globe.

If you’re familiar with MOVE Guides and its history, it’s been a year of change. We acquired Polaris, a Bellevue, Washington-based company, that delivers end-to-end mobility management including assignment and expatriate management, and mobility Tax-Payroll services. In early April, we rebranded the company to Topia which means place in Greek. Our mission is to enable companies and individuals to work everywhere – in all places. Our Topia identity – name, logo, colors and patterns - is rooted in our global identity. Our logo reflects the dynamism of moving employees to places. It includes a degree symbol to reflect the fact that we move people all over the world. And the capital “T” is for talent.

What does this mean for HR professionals and mobility teams? We see a future where a people-focused global mobility strategy can become the enabler of a company’s talent strategy. The ability to efficiently move employees between locations and roles is now a critical differentiator in the Future of Work – in attracting and retaining talent, building adaptable workforces, and developing diverse leaders.
