XPATWEB ANNUAL GLOBAL MOBILITY CONFERENCE As immigration reform continues in South Africa, Permits Foundation were pleased to contribute via video message to the Xpatweb Annual Global Mobility Conference in Johannesburg which featured high-level corporate and government speakers. Permits Foundation welcomed the findings in the recent Xpatweb South Africa Critical Skills Survey Report 2024 that:
• 84% of HR respondents acknowledged the ongoing and escalating significance of dual career and partner issues within their organisations
• 96% of respondents agreed spouses/ partners of Critical Skills Visa holders should be able to work on recognition of their dependent status.
Future of Global Mobility
“Relocate’s 20th Anniversary celebration of the ‘Future of Global Mobility’ is a hugely meaningful theme for Permits Foundation as our work evolves in alignment with the needs of international employers, employees and their families,” commented Françoise van Roosmalen, Permits Foundation coordinator. “Permits Foundation’s surveys looked at the skillsets of accompanying partners, many
of whom were in host countries unable to work. Our findings show that these partners are not only highly qualified (88% hold a bachelor’s degree or higher) but also have experience in sectors where skill shortages are projected – education, healthcare, engineering, technology and finance. The Foundation views untapped talent in the host country as an important component of the future of global mobility.”
COMING UP NEXT:
On 26 September the Foundation will be speaking at the ECA Government Forum in London.
In October, the Foundation will be
holding our quarterly Board meeting in Amsterdam and at the end of that month will be hosting a roundtable at the Forum for Expat Management EMEA Summit.
