Concerns surrounding economic uncertainties coupled with increased US immigration fees are leading companies to problem solve with their immigration partners in new ways to design mobility and immigration policies to effectively manage and reduce costs.
Join our interactive session as we examine strategies related to green card processes, current employee concerns, upcoming presidential election impacts, and relocation policies.

Roundtable:
Navigating the Post-Pandemic Talent Landscape
Wednesday, May 22: 3:15 pm - 4:10 pm CDT
Speakers:
- Sarah Anstey, Partner, Fragomen
- Haseena Enu, Partner, Fragomen
Join Fragomen experts for a breakout session that will explore cutting-edge strategies for talent acquisition and retention. Amidst evolving immigration policies, complex economic conditions, and geo-political challenges, we'll discuss alternative approaches to workforce planning and development. Topics will include:
- Optimizing overseas assignments, including scenarios to set assignees up to return on an L-1

- Leveraging the U.S. permanent residency process as a talent attraction and retention tool
- Managing cost and driving return on investment within your global mobility program and policy

Closing Panel Discussion:
Is It Time to Rethink Global Mobility?
Thursday, May 23: 2:55 pm - 3:45 pm CDT
Speaker:
- Haseena Enu, Partner, Fragomen
Traditional Global Mobility is increasingly being allied with talent strategy – so should we simply rename it ‘international experience’?
- As we see a rise in non-traditional mobility models including virtual assignments, extended business travel and contractors – how can you utilize these and keep track with finite resources?
- Does immigration provide the answer to skills gaps – and how can you review and evaluate your immigration program, processes, concerns and goals?
- How can you address operational efficiency and business critical needs whilst developing the talent needed now and in the future?
- Are your recruiting and talent management processes and workforce planning fit for purpose? What is best practice?
