BAL Global launches quarterly Global Trends Report

In Q4 of 2016, countries around the globe rolled out changes that will affect mobility programs across industries. BAL is launching a new quarterly immigration newsletter, the Global Trends Report, to help companies better track and understand the significance of immigration changes.

In the Recent Developments section, BAL provides a brief overview of Brexit and the incoming Trump administration as well as a look at key changes in Latin America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa. The goal is to provide HR leaders and mobility strategists a resource for quickly grasping the implications of both good and bad news—and if there may be any potential work-arounds or alternatives. In the featured Analysis section, BAL evaluates visa programs for foreign investors and start-ups that will be of interest for mobility programs with destination countries that are tightening more standard immigration routes.
