Global Mobility Women Leading the Way Making the difference You can see and feel that women have been increasingly leading the way in mobility. We've seen more women taking roles in the mobility space and also taking on, the global workforce. As Global Mobility has continued to evolve, I think it's extremely important, you know, as women leaders within global mobility that we be adaptable. Adaptability is a huge, huge factor in what we do and how we lead our programs in the different organizations that we are part of. We have to be adaptable to accept change and lead with those changes in place.

The Stability of Global Mobility Dependable Expansion Global Mobility in its traditional sense, is a function that facilitates cross-border move covering compliance and, relocation. I think with the times global mobility now is about making sure you have the right people at the right time, at the right role. To the business. Global mobility is a critical function. We are strategic partners to the business. We advise them on so many important strategies. We provide them with cost projections. We advise them on compliance matters related to relocations. We are the strategic partner to help them meet their goals.

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.

Definition of Global Mobility Enabling Progress Global Mobility is the act of helping an individual or an individual in his or her family move from one country to another. It's anything and everything that entails immigration and tax, pension, social securities, banking, housing, shipment of goods. Global mobility to the business is an area of opportunity for expansion of the company. So a lot of companies like to expand their business into new countries. And global mobility plays a critical role in that expansion. There's also an opportunity for global mobility to be seen by the business as a partner in strategic development of their employees across the world.
