Presentation: 'Smart Moves – Companies look to lower the cost of Global Mobility' 

There are many ways that companies are using Global Mobility to successfully implement global talent strategies where the Millennial employees are increasingly looking for international opportunities. And in the war for talent, if companies want to keep them, low-cost mobility options have to be available. But that isn’t all: business leaders have to be on board with this “new normal” and willing to use these low-cost options. Aligning the Global Mobility program with business leaders’ expectations is a central challenge.
