Anything that you can find out about the assignee and their circumstances going into the United States is going to help you to be the best supporting global mobility professional to them and really enhance that employee experience. One of the key challenges that had been top of mind for the past several years was just having to navigate through U.S. immigration.

Evolving Global Mobility What will Global Mobility look like in the Future? Global Mobility, Talent Mobility.. what is next.. what does the future hold ? The GMJ Ambassadors (Global Mobility HR) discuss ways Mobility has changed and predict what may be next. Global Mobility and by proxy Talent Mobility will expand. It will have more knowledge of risk and compliance management. It's interesting because global mobility along with the benefits that it has, because of the growing talent and because we were building capabilities of other people, somehow there is a huge cost to it. So there is a budget that is contributed to this relocation in the future ways of working with the hires, the technology and the new information that we're receiving. We will have to start looking at virtual assignments or working from different locations for the new one and really looking to reduce the number of mobilization. So that's the coming in new ways because of the recent changes.

Global Mobility Journeys Explained Global Mobility Journeys GMJ, What is it all about? Global Mobility Journeys GMJ is summed up well as a celebration of Global Mobility connecting Global Mobility HR. I love the unique idea of Global Mobility Journeys has to be able to engage the global mobility community and share knowledge. And I like the idea that they're using Technology, which most of us are now. I'm connecting with other mobility professionals, having the ability to exchange stories and to ultimately support one another. The GMJ Congress (Global Mobility Event Online) is always a great place where you can see your professional colleagues that you don't normally get to see. It's a it's a wonderful opportunity to bring everyone together to talk about current events and really find out what are other people doing in their Global Mobility programs. So you can then take that back andand make your Global Mobility program better.

Global Mobility Looking Forward The Future is Mobility Global Mobility is the focal point of international expansion and development. Relocating employees successfully is at the very core. In practice, though, I feel it means simultaneously being consultants, project managers,program managers, facilitators, administrators, legal experts, continuous service, continuous improvement specialists.

Global Mobility Tales Every great story has a beginning Global Mobility is a vocation, in essence a calling for many, but how do they end up on this exciting road. Sit back, relax and enjoy the Global Mobility Tales. I worked in a number of different spaces, but having the opportunity to actually be an expert on an assignment was kind of that tipping point for me to really be in the mobility space. So I started out in global mobility by accident. I feel like I've heard that often in the mobility space that people just come about it. But the problem solving and of course, helping the people kind of navigate that important part of their life where they're kind of finding an intersect between their personal and professional lives, for me is really rewarding.

The Meaning of Global Mobility What defines Global Mobility? What is the essence, the true meaning of Global Mobility. How can it make a positive difference and how can Global Mobility professionals succeed in this. Global Mobility is a strategic tool that companies use, whether it be a hiring manager, the talent organization or leaders to mobilize the talent that they need to be in certain locations.

What is Global Mobility in HR A partner working together Global Mobility can be a part of HR or even in a totally different department. One thing is clear, a Global Mobility Program works far better when HR and Global Mobility work together. It's a key partnership between global mobility and HR. HR relies on global mobility for guidance expertize, knowledge, and they pretty much cannot do what they do without the global mobility team. If we belong to global mobility or to HR, we know we are part of the same team working towards a common goal, and we consider this as a shared responsibility.

Unconscious Bias & Global Mobility Keeping yourself in check is key Global Mobility can make a true difference to identifying and preventing Unconscious Bias. The ability to be aware we can all carry unknown or recognised bias is a fundamental growing opportunity. The topic of International Women's Day and Unconscious Bias is something that I think we've all talked about in our mobility programs over the years, but previously didn't really have the ability to take tangible actions. Companies are more receptive to this topic nowadays, and so it's really up to each of us to continue pushing forward and looking for unique and creative ways to enhance the DNA profiles of our mobility programs.

Global Mobility & Immigration At the center of Relocation is Immigration Moving an employee across borders to work the key element of any Global Mobility program and without effective Immigration processes this would not be possible. Immigration is what Global Mobility HR Professionals need to be aware of and always in tune with. You want to avoid having a situation where the employee gets to the airport and they're denied entry because they either don't have the proper visa or the proper paperwork in order to enter that country. Immigration is actually the first piece of the puzzle of Global Mobility - done right it makes for a smooth as possible Global Mobility program.

Global mobility is moving its workforce across borders to achieve organizational goals and also to drive performance Growth. Growth to leverage the diverse pool that is available on a global scale.

Corporate Relocation Global Mobility Successful Expansion... There are distinct complications and factors that need to be considered when engaging in Corporate Relocation There’s a lot of opportunity for us to hire some of the best talent. There's a lot of opportunity for that talent to find good opportunities here. I think it's a win win situation for us, allows for us to, give people a chance.

Across Borders Global Mobility Enterprising Growth... For effective international growth a company needs to go across borders, but with some much compliance to consider Global Mobility is the answer. The idea of having borderless, work exposure and being able to work where you want to work or work from anywhere. It is an interesting concept and an interesting idea that I would love the world to, to be ready for, but the reality is rathe complex indeed.

Global Mobility Beyond More than a HR Function Global Mobility is the interconnection function that goes beyond what is expected as it reaches so many within and external to the business. Helping to make a difference and shape but careers and lives... all thanks to the HR Mobility Professionals working tirelessly day to day! Because sometimes we do face conflicting scenarios and I'm finding a way through it. And then there is a timing attached. So it's also a lot of resilience. It's learning to stay calm in a storm.

Global Mobility Making Policies Preparing Researching Benchmarking our Global Mobility policies and looking at the right fit is key. I think providing or looking at the benchmarks, not only within your industry, but within the mobility market space is incredibly important. When making her amending global mobility policies, my number one advice is to know in advance what you're trying to solve for and know what your employee needs are. Ensure that you have baseline data to start with. I always recommend a survey or a focus group prior to making any policy changes, to really understand what's important to your employee.

Global Mobility Employee Well-Being A Key Priority From a global mobility perspective, it's about trying to understand those needs be a bit encouraging and try and allow the employee to juggle that that work balance post, you know, moving. I think offering support for family members in our relocation policies is critical here, such as offering spousal support at home, finding school search support. These types of benefits are really going to help the family integrate into their new community and really ease in the transition to any new location.

Global Mobility is helping talent get to the locations they are needed in. This may be in the same country or continent or across the world. Sometimes this means that we're only moving the employee. Other times it means that we're moving the entire family.

The Pillars of Global Mobility Supporting Talent Anywhere My top tip when moving is expect delays and that something will go wrong. I'm here to navigate when that happens, but no amount of preparation will take away the fact that someone who's moving is going to experience an obstacle. Global mobility is the movement of employees from one location to another location, and taking into consideration not only their, their, their families move and their housing or their schooling or their personal interests, but also taking into consideration their salary and their benefits and their pension and their Social security and their tax implications, maybe their transportation, their host transportation.

The Drive of Global Mobility Employee Mobility Global Mobility has the goal to ensure that we're able to move talent or retain talent necessary to ensure the business's success, and we truly ensure making sure that we're supporting the employee to the best way possible.
