Global mobility is becoming too important—and too complex—to operate as a standalone function. Labor shortages, demographic change, skills mismatches and increasingly international talent markets are pushing organizations to think differently about where talent comes from and how it moves. At the same time, governments and...
A regional conflict closes airspace overnight. Employees traveling on business cannot return home. An international assignee suddenly needs to leave a country with family members in tow. A new government restriction complicates immigration status just as the company is trying to move employees somewhere safer. None...
For years, the conventional wisdom surrounding international hiring has been remarkably consistent: companies look overseas primarily to reduce labor costs. But new global workforce data suggests that assumption is increasingly outdated. Instead of searching for cheaper employees, organizations are crossing borders to find skills that...
