From my early days as a high-school teacher, educational consultant or trainer, to my current role in global mobility, my entire career has been dedicated to empowering, supporting and guiding others.
Power of AI and Global Mobility Making Progress I expect technology to play a crucial role in our evolution as we introduce AI and data analytics to better manage compliance and track employee movement. AI is super important for mobility. I guess all the mobility professionals would agree with. And I can, take out a lot of friction, especially in the low mobility processes, beat automating repetitive routine tasks such as, I don't know, document tracking and, take it one step further. We could use or leverage AI to engage in predictive analysis to help us better plan.

Global Mobility & Relocation Stories Going Beyond Moving from one continent to another asked that a bronze statue of a horse, was to be moved. Being sentimental value. He said it serves as motivation. We didn't get to hear the whole backstory, cut a long story short, we managed to replicate this almost Lifesize bronze statue. We relocated two parrots from the US to the Netherlands, and they needed, a special cage. They needed special food. We had to find a special place for them to live, and they would accept parrots and have the right lighting and everything.
Global Mobility Pro Tips Best Practices I always put myself in the employee shoes and read the policy through their eyes. Not as a GM or a professional. If something sounds too jargon heavy or makes me raise an eyebrow, I know it won't land well with someone who's about to uproot their entire life and move countries. So, I rephrase, simplify, and make sure the tone feels supportive and not robotic. When making good mobility policies, my one top tip would be let us not forget, this is the people. Let us keep it human. Of course, compliance and cost control are all very important. However, policies that are flexible, clear, empathetic to the employee and their experience of going through while, moving across all this will always result in higher engagement and I can promise and fewer exceptions.
