Photos and roundup: Workforce Mobility Interactive 2018, Singapore

Keynotes with perspectives on optimising mobility programme costs, case studies on deploying employees to challenging locations, as well as five different interactive sessions were the highlights of Workforce Mobility Interactive 2018, Singapore, the regional invitation-only event for HR leaders and senior mobility specialists.

Organised by Human Resources, Workforce Mobility Interactive is back for the fourth year with the latest in talent mobility and expatriation trends in HR. This exclusive invite-only interactive event was specially curated for top HR leaders and mobility specialists to engage each other with strategies on staff mobility programmes.

Produced by Priya Veeriah and held at Shangri-La on 2 February, the conference brought a stellar line-up of talent mobility experts who shared their insights into some of the biggest challenges. The event was attended by more than 100 delegates, speakers, and sponsors.

After another interactive session, delegates were treated to a keynote by Ellyn Karetnick, vice-president and global head of talent mobility consulting at BGRS.

Tapping on her 25 years of experience, Karetnick shared how you can tell when the time is ripe for a mobility transformation.

She said to a rapt audience: "If you have a strong business case and your leaders are not part of the 63% who have mobility high on their agenda, then that is something you can leverage on."

After three back-to-back interactive sessions, delegates were invited to share their key takeaways for the day, in two polls - a key driving agent that aids them in designing a strategic mobility programme, and their biggest concerns related to workforce mobility.

Alongside, we invited our table hosts to sum up their key takeaways from the five interactive sessions.
