moves as people seek flexibility. Employees across the business want the ability to go
to new places for personal as well as business reasons, or a combination of them both. It gives Global Mobility the opportunity to be much more strategic in the organisation and demands a different kind of thinking and responsibility. “It was really clear that it is a topic that everyone in
the room is dealing with,” said Michelle Berners Price, Partner of KPMG UK, who co-hosted with John Rason, Group Head of Consulting at Santa Fe Relocation, a Global Mobility, Future of Work and Workplace Hub. “They are day-to-day trying to identify what they
need to change in their organisation in order to play the role that will be fit for the future. It’s interesting to see that in a lot of cases, it wasn’t a CEO or board-level requirement, but employees are put first, and everything should be done to allow flexibility. There is a feeling in the organisation that Global Mobility really needs to be accommodating this. “We talked about what that means from a mobility
perspective, and what that means as a team and the role it plays in the future. About how it makes it really important that mobility can engage with a wider set of stakeholders, from HR and talent and different risk areas, to make these decisions as to what can be allowed. “But it’s also about connecting with the board to
make sure that if you are offering flexibility, they are clear it comes with costs and risk: is this the approach our organisation wants to take? At the moment, mobility has a huge amount of work without necessarily having that additional buy-in or resource to be able to handle it.”

Head of Employee Mobility for Hewlett Packard Enterprise. “It starts with conversations and ideas that I can bring back into my groups. There’s a lot we can do and that excites me. It’s never been a better time to be in mobility. That’s why it’s important to encourage each other.” Responding to these significant developments in
international management, HR and the Global Mobility supply chain, the Future of Work Festival was therefore a very welcome opportunity to re-establish and build new friendships. It was a chance also to make connections, have interesting and stimulating conversations, share
