Roundtable 1:

How Important is the Employee [Family] Experience?

In years gone by, delivering a great employee experience was deemed to be an important focus. Today the narrative suggests this is of primary importance in the war on talent. In this session we will discuss whether this is true in your organisation. What initiatives are in play? How much focus is on the family? What role does Mobility Tech play in your delivery? Are these initiatives costly and how are you measuring their ROI?

Hosted by:

Gareth Davies, SVP of Solutions Consulting, Equus Software
Caitlin Slattery, Solutions Consulting Director, Equus Software

Roundtable 2:

Design Your Dream Low-Touch Mobility Policy

You have junior or self-initiated relocating employees who don’t require the same high-touch, high-cost service as a fully managed move, but you also don’t want to leave them out to dry sourcing services themselves – where duty of care and security are not guaranteed. What to do? In this session, we’ll dream and design the perfect low-touch mobility support programme and learn how Altair implemented an enhanced programme on a minimal budget for a multinational client, pairing bite-sized services with innovative technological solutions, yet still sits comfortably within its other more traditional populations.

Hosted by:

Andy Hawtin, VP, Business Development, Altair Global

Roundtable 4:

Tight Budget and Rent Increased – What to Do?

In a world where companies aim to reduce costs while rental prices continue to rise each year, how do global mobility managers balance expectations versus reality? The goal of this session is to understand the perspective of mobility managers and the solutions they implement when facing these challenges. Are they pushing their companies to increase budgets? What are the most convincing arguments? Will companies send fewer employees abroad in the future? Could this situation encourage new accommodation models, such as co-living, to reduce costs while still supporting international assignments?
