Asia Pacific Region : Global Mobility in the New Normal
Sandi HuynhDonna MufidaBenny TanChristina Karl

As the world moves into the “new normal,” global companies are forced to rethink their global strategies around their workforce deployment. This led to innovative solutions by many companies in dealing with the business needs of talent management and deployment.

In this session, we will explore some of these innovative solutions and measures that companies have taken to deal with constraints imposed by the pandemic as well as their effectiveness. We will also discuss what this “new normal” could look like even as the pandemic subsides, especially its lasting impact on global mobility strategies.

Sandi Huynh from Uber, Christina Karl from Deloitte and Benny Tan from Altair Global will share their perspectives on current and possible future trends for global mobility in the Asia Pacific region.

The future of remote work: technical and practical considerations
Theresa ChanBruce LeeGreg Morley

Global employers are planning or even implementing remote working arrangement policies to adapt to the changing needs of their workforces. Certain employees may not return to their offices as local lockdown restrictions or social distancing measures remain in place. Travel restrictions may also limit the cross-border movement of globally-mobile talents.

Successful execution of a remote working arrangement often requires profound support from senior management, detailed strategies in designing and communicating the policies, and technology-enabled infrastructures. Also, both employers and employees should consider individual tax, immigration, social security, and other implications when designing policies on remote working arrangements.

In this session, Greg Morley from Moet Hennessy in Singapore and Theresa Chan and Bruce Lee from PwC Global Mobility Services in Hong Kong will lead a virtual panel to share their insights on the following topics:

1. Highlights from recent PwC global survey on remote working arrangements;
2. Hong Kong salary tax, immigration and other global mobility related implications on remote working arrangements;
3. Sharing of practical experience in addressing the aforementioned implications.

How to develop a mutually beneficial work relationship
Silvia GongRichard MaIvan ShenSally Xu

Global mobility professionals are agile at developing policies and various practices to support their business, achieve goals, and generate revenue. To reach this purpose, they need to identify the latest changes and policies implemented at home and abroad, and what their competitors are doing in the market. Fortunately, service providers are always there to seek these shared purposes and value the work of GM professionals between organizations and individuals. Service providers can also provide their insights and resources to work with in-house GM professionals to ensure successful international assignments. At the outbreak of an epidemic, they should work together seamlessly to predict trends, manage changes, and solve problems.

In this session, we will have in-house HR as well as service providers to discuss current issues, benchmark various drivers and indicators, share insights and trends, and provide best practices.
