AIRINC has recently hosted another successful roundtable discussion in Singapore, where corporate companies come together to address the various questions and challenges they face in their global mobility programs.
By facilitating these roundtable discussions, AIRINC aims to foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing among companies, enabling them to gain a deeper understanding of the best practices and innovative approaches in global mobility.
Roundtable Discussions
During our roundtable discussions in Singapore, we have covered an extensive range of topics that are crucial in the ever-changing landscape of global mobility. From exploring the benefits of flexible remote working to understanding the complexities of international one-way moves, our discussions have provided valuable insights into the challenges companies are facing.
Local-Plus Assignments
One of the topics that garnered significant interest during our discussions was the concept of local-plus assignments in Singapore. Companies were keen to understand the advantages and disadvantages of this approach and how it can be effectively implemented within their global mobility programs.
AI and Global Mobility
Another captivating topic that sparked engaging conversations was the use of AI (ChatGPT) in mobility programs. Participants were intrigued by the possibilities that AI presents in streamlining processes and enhancing employee experiences. Our discussions delved into the practical applications of AI and how companies can leverage this technology to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Download the recent AIRINC AI Survey here.
Housing
Rising housing costs also emerged as a significant concern for companies managing global assignments. As the cost-of-living continues to increase in many locations worldwide, finding suitable and affordable housing options for assignees has become increasingly challenging. Our roundtable discussions provided a platform for participants to share their experiences and strategies for managing housing costs effectively. From exploring different types of expatriate residential areas to considering rental costs and quality, companies gained valuable insights into determining appropriate housing budgets for their assignees.
