In these challenging times, companies are being faced with exceptional circumstances.

This past Wednesday, AIRINC hosted a webinar with Kerwin Guillermo, Global Head of Employee Mobility at Hewlett Packard Enterprises, and Inez Nomidis, Director of Advisory Services in America for AIRINC, in a show and tell of the innovative approaches to mobility at HPE.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) set out with a goal — to help the business differentiate investments in mobile talent.

Eleven weeks after COVID-19 was officially declared a pandemic, companies and employees have begun to settle into new ways of life around the world, though there are many questions which still remain unanswered about the future.

With fewer people moving during the pandemic, some Mobility functions are taking a strategic look at their programs and resources. Clear communications that are designed from the employee’s perspective improve employee experience and strengthen Mobility’s brand and reputation.
