Fragomen is a strategic partner of the Global Mobility Executive Leaders Exchange in Chicago, taking place on Wednesday, October 16.

About the Event:

The HR Leaders Exchange Breakfast offers HR & Talent Leaders the opportunity to discuss trends, strategy, share experience and explore solutions in a fully interactive, private, collaborative, peer to peer environment.

Our aim is to make sure you leave with some fantastic new connections and a renewed perspective and enthusiasm to take on the challenges that lie ahead.

Fragomen Partners, Cynthina Shearn and Oishika Gupta will join the session as Strategic Partners to discuss the following topics: 

REVOLUTIONIZING TALENT STRATEGIES IN A COMPLEX GEOPOLITICAL AND REGULATORY WORLD

In light of geopolitical uncertainties influenced by election outcomes, which strategies can HR leaders adopt to mitigate operational risks and maintain operational efficiency in their global mobility programs?

  • How should HR leaders adapt their talent acquisition and retention strategies to remain competitive and compliant amidst evolving political climates?

How can organizations effectively prepare for potential shifts in immigration policies and regulatory environments resulting from US and global elections?

  • How should organizations prepare for and/or respond to protectionist policies, government investigations, and increased scrutiny on how foreign national talent are being leveraged.

Discussion Timings (CST):

08:30 – 09:00 | Arrival & Registration
09:00 – 09:30 | Welcome & Introductions
09:30 – 11:00  | HR Leaders Exchange
