Candidate sourcing and selection – Proven ways of designing identification and hiring systems for global talent amid diverse workforce demographics and changing employee demands.

Addressing ROI for mobility – Winning methods that will strengthen the value that mobility programmes can add to organisations as well as measures that will assess the success and cost-effectiveness of mobility strategies.

Relocation and enculturation services – The fundamentals of an effective relocation strategy for expatriate employees, from domestic mobility processes to the introduction of company culture, practices and value.

Technology in talent mobility – An in-depth look into the application of technological breakthroughs in managing mobile employees, such as HR cloud and big data, as well as the analytical approach for mobility forecasting and talent planning.
