What happens when companies invest in Global Mobility? Not just plugging talent gaps, but supercharging business performance and raising profits. How do we know? We asked the experts — 240 European business leaders and managers — on the return on investment they observe from offering their people support with relocations and workcations. With this keynote, Hanna will share the key takeaways from our research and what they mean for the future of work.

Global Mobility: a must-have enabler for every business

How talent moves to and across Europe is in constant flux, but are things moving in the right direction? How are governments looking at immigration issues for 2024? How can companies become more involved in attracting and retaining expat talent for Germany? We explore these questions with thought leaders who are working every day to break down bureaucratic and cultural barriers keeping talent away, from policymakers, to community builders, and business leaders.

How immigration is changing, and the ways we should change with it

It’s planning season, with a lot of change happening across the business world. To help kickstart your roadmap for 2024, we chat with Reece Procter, Global Mobility Lead at Personio, on what to prioritize, what (and how) to automate, and where to explore bigger ideas for maximum impact on your people and organization.

Ask a Global Mobility lead: what will 2024 bring?

Skilled talent wants to move to Germany, but a big hurdle stands in the way — getting the job offer to kickstart the visa process. Expats come from varied backgrounds, and many are unfamiliar with the nuances of how to make their application stand out. We explore this topic more with Johann Harnoss, founder of Imagine Foundation which coaches expats on how to land those critical opportunities. Tune into this session for insights on how the recruitment process looks from the other side, and how you can calibrate your search and relocation support to bring in the best talent.

The job offer conundrum making life hard for you and expat talent

Immigration. Compliance. Policies. Enabling the business. Supporting employee wellbeing. If you ask Global Mobility pros what was on their minds, they may well say “Everything!” Enabling employees’ movement across borders quickly becomes complicated, where teams need to juggle organizational goals, employee requirements, and varied regulations. Every bit of knowledge helps. In this panel, you’ll hear from other Global Mobility experts how they approach this balancing act. More than that, we’ll cover the impact mobility has on their people and organizations, and how to get more buy-in from key stakeholders.

Moving people across the world: do's and don'ts from seasoned experts

Distributed teams are getting more and more global — a change for the better, but one that can bring hidden complexities if not handled correctly. How do you deliver a first-in-class experience to a workforce of varied cultural backgrounds? How do you make work inclusive for differing perspectives? How do you shield talent moving across borders from culture shock, or feeling isolated in a new environment? In this session, you'll hear from People experts on how they approach these questions through policy, communication, and technology.
