the entire family and their social network and support system to a new location.” However, fewer family moves may mean fewer


students enrolling in international schools, or different demands on relocation services, so education and mobility providers need to adapt too. “Mobility isn’t just about moving people. It’s about


making the move meaningful – for the business, for the employee, and for the family behind them.,” he said. “People are generally looking for four things, and I think that probably applies to children as much as adults. “They are looking for health support and that


they are insured, they are looking for wealth, making sure that their pensions are being supported, and that they are building up wealth so they have the ability to return home or the ability to move to another country. They are looking to make sure that they are compliant,” he said. “They don’t want the stress of a tax return going


wrong or having to pay a massive liability. On top of that is making sure that they have magical experience, something which is really going to integrate them in the culture of the new country. That could be something like going to a football game if they go to Spain and they get to go to the Real Madrid stadium. It is something which makes them feel valued as an employee. If you get those four elements right, wellness is taken care of, and hopefully the assignee will be happy and successful in their new location as well.” As for the world of work, he explained that at the


moment, things are changing so rapidly that we cannot really prepare for such momentous change. “There is a danger of putting your head in the sand,


but actually what we should be doing is saying the world is changing, it is not going to be the same as it is today,” he said. “It is not going to be the same as it is tomorrow. But that is an exciting prospect, and actually you need to really enjoy and learn all of these different things in the pipeline. Learn about AI, learn about what the capabilities are, because one day, you will be talking about it with everyone and it will be a core part of your day to day work. Don’t be scared. Embrace it, because otherwise you will be left behind.”


Josh’s key takeaways for business leaders: • Embrace AI – not as an add-on, but as a central part of delivery.


• Rethink the purpose of your mobility function – it is now about talent, leadership, and growth.


• Put families first – because if the family doesn’t thrive, the move might not be a success.


LOOKING TO THE FUTURE – MOBILITY CAN PLAY A KEY ROLE Addressing a room filled with global mobility leaders, international project managers, talent experts, and educators, Fiona Murchie brought to a conclusion a lively discussion around the challenges we face today, as well as the ones we will need to address in the future. The Global Leaders Forum was an engaging and wide- ranging debate which brought thought-leaders from different parts of the industry together to discuss how


to collaborate and share knowledge at a critical time for business and global mobility as a whole. Sharing in the Relocate Global and Think Global community, exchanging knowledge and collaborating with colleagues in the industry will help our organisations and our services stay relevant and connected, now and in this exciting but uncertain future for global mobility, she explained. She called on attendees to continue the discussion to navigate this new world of work.


“ Mobility isn’t just about moving people. It’s about making the move meaningful – for the business, for the employee, and for the family behind them.”
