Businesses continue to integrate in new international markets and require a mobile workforce to accommodate that integration. The movement of a talented workforce is essential to companies and corporations in todays global economy where a global platform is a must in order to compete. To cultivate and maintain global strength, businesses have a common goal: to develop managers and employees who can be effective in multiple cultures and in complex and rapidly changing environments. Global business profitability is dependent on the ability of companies to find, attract, and retain the right number and type of employees to fuel their growth on a global scale.
JSBs Global Workforce Mobility conference will equip you with the necessary tools to develop and refine the appropriate strategies and practices for the entire assignment process.
