How Do These Post-Global Realities Affect Our Work?
• Immigration• Relocation/Adaptation• Global Project Management
IMMIGRATION On-the-Ground Daily Mobility/HR Challenges:
• More frequent extended business travelers.• Increased timelines in obtaining immigration
approvals/• Special relocation packages for anticipated
Brexit.• In-bound to US changes in visa policies.• Outbound to Canada and intra-European
immigration policy changes.• Outbound immigration changes to China, intra-
Asia.

RELOCATION On-the-Ground Daily Mobility/HR Challenges:
• Relocation training/support modality shift to technology, end-user.
• Relocation support service uptake driven by different cultural forces (taxation, mandated policy, lump-sum trends, etc).
• New relocation trends (short-term, single, extended business travel, etc) driving new needs.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT On-the-Ground Daily Mobility/HR
Challenges:• Communication style consideration based
on location (Europe vs Asia).• Can’t assume that same language
(English) will have the same. understanding for all – interpretation of language, how we counsel/words we choose…
PROJECT MANAGEMENT On-the-Ground Daily Mobility/HR
Challenges:• Global mindset and need to be mindful of
who/where we are speaking to, being able to adapt accordingly.
• When managing teams globally – each team from various locations will have different culture; need to adapt and provide different mediums to share feedback.
