THINK GLOBAL PEOPLE LEADERSHIP
What does leadership look like post-Covid 19?
New hybrid ways of working, a global workforce that is looking for a new direction in 2021, and a need to be alert to the mental and physical health of your staff – all these are challenges for leaders of globally mobile companies. What qualities will be needed to support staff, develop talent and rethink the future, and how can the leader of the future upskill and rise to the challenge? Marianne Curphey reports.

orking practices have changed and remote working is here to stay. How
should the leader of 2021 respond when managing and supporting a globally mobile workforce?
FIND OUT WHAT YOUR EMPLOYEES NEED John Marcarian, Founder of Expatland Global Network, which brings together international teams of professionals to provide global mobility services across taxation, logistics, real estate, education advice and more, says “leaving no one behind” is very much the philosophy needed now. “As the mix of workers facing
restrictions changes, we see many companies adopting a 'two tier' approach where there is a special focus put on isolated workers’ physical and mental health,” he says. “New forms of social interaction for those workers are put in place, such as the virtual team lunch (with food delivered!) or a simple delivery of employee care packages, or the implementation of additional medical or counselling support to address issues the isolated employee faces.”
GIVE YOUR STAFF TIME AND FOCUS Joe Palmer, Vice President of Human Resources at Colt DCS says that when managing an extensive and global workforce, it is important to ensure everyone is listened to. “The biggest challenge is giving
everyone time and focus,” he says. “Truly engaging your workforce in the mission, vision and values of your organisation takes time.
