As global trade routes realign and policy landscapes shift, we invite you to a post-summer strategy session on how immigration, talent access and workforce planning are being reshaped.
Join us this September for a high-impact session designed to bring you up to speed on the intersection of trade policy, immigration strategy and workforce planning. From rising tariff tensions to new trade corridors and regulatory shifts, we’ll explore how global developments are reshaping the way companies move people, manage risk and access skills.
You’ll hear from:
- Bo Cooper on the shifting U.S. immigration and enforcement landscape, and why it remains central to the global policy environment.
- Julia Onslow-Cole drawing on her frontline advisory work with governments and multinationals, offering high-level insights into how evolving trade negotiations and geopolitical dynamics are shaping the future of immigration access and global workforce mobility.
- Raj Mann who will share insights on how businesses are rethinking global mobility models and workforce strategy, including how Fragomen’s Workforce Intelligence Group is helping clients respond with speed and data driven insights.
Key themes include:
- U.S. immigration landscape and enforcement outlook
- Trade agreements and their impact on business travel, visas and workforce strategy
- The trade-talent nexus: linking tariffs, workforce strategy and immigration access
- How mobility teams can prepare for upcoming policy changes and disruption
- Talent availability, geopolitical risk and how to plan around both
Who should attend:
As trade and immigration policies evolve, access to global talent is shifting fast. This session is essential for mobility leaders, HR strategists and compliance professionals looking to align workforce strategy with policy change and stay ahead in a fast-moving global landscape.
Register now and reconnect with global strategy after the summer, with the insight you need to prepare for the critical months ahead.
