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?
