Webinar: Playing by the new rules: Navigating talent mobility in the “New Normal”

Webinar details:

With the work environment now constricted by an onslaught of travel regulations and safety mandates throughout the world, the rules for talent mobility have changed drastically.

But even though much has changed due to COVID-19, the key deliverables of global mobility remain the same – from recruitment optimisation and leadership development to retaining top talent and the mitigation of risks in new geographies. How has dramatic shifts observed in core business activities such as the closing of offices and prolonged remote working reshaped the role of talent mobility?

Join us in this FREE informative webinar specially curated by HRO with Cartus’ expertise to explore key trends and recommended relocation strategies that would empower you and your organisation to manage the repercussions of COVID-19 and navigate current and future talent mobility challenges.

What’s more – all participants of this webinar will receive an e-copy of the whitepaper, Cartus Relocation Playbook Post-COVID-19!

Showcasing these findings and knowledge from Cartus’ vast global network, this whitepaper is bound to be an invaluable resource to you if you handle global talent mobility in your organisation!

In this 60-minute webinar, expert speakers from corporate relocation leader Cartus will outline four key emerging trends and share powerful strategies:

\

Learn about a new global workplace process that would ensure compliance and safety in a global landscape full of ever-changing government rules and social distancing regulations.

\

Find out how to manage pre-approvals and heavy controls on travel that would certainly remain in place even after the initial virus waves subside or a vaccine becomes available.

\

Safeguard globalisation and growth for your organisation while you manage COVID-19 repercussions.

\

Learn to support ongoing cross-border situations as well as the pre-requisites of virtual assignments with accelerated digitalisation.

After the session, you will be equipped with knowledge on how to leverage powerful strategies designed to address key emerging trends in global talent mobility:

R

Global workplace

With government rules and social distancing regulations changing all the time, keeping up with the latest immigration and quarantine rules as well as the overall risks associated with movement is key to your organisation’s decision-making process.

Join us as we share our Return-to-Work Strategy that would show you a new global workplace process that ensures compliance and safety in an ever-changing global landscape.

R

Relocation travel

Pre-approvals and heavy controls on travel remain broadly in place and are likely to continue even after the initial virus waves have subsided or a vaccine becomes available.

How do organisations balance employee safety, business needs, and cost-control inside broader organisational strategies?

R

Talent development

Organisations must close the gap between local and assignee populations to ensure globalisation and growth. To safeguard the journey within the organisation while managing COVID-19 repercussions, it is critical to consider local HR principles and to understand individual employees.

Find out how to shift the focus from business needs to the needs of your employees.

R

Digitalisation

As organisations and their employees adapt to an increasingly digitalised way of life, tracking your mobile employees and ensuring a viable way of doing so are necessities. The robustness and availability of technology is also required to support ongoing cross-border situations as well as the pre-requisites of virtual assignments.

Learn how to accelerate the digitalisation process in order to support your employees’ and business’s needs via an efficient and secure platform.
