an organisation, rather than working in silos. “Then we talked about the skills that enabled some
of this; adaptability and dynamism, and communication being even more important than ever given that you can’t always see a lot of the workforce. Sometimes it’s really hard to get a feel for when people are really struggling. They can put a brave face on in a Teams meeting, but when that video goes off, they go back to struggling. When we can see that, it’s easier to support them. “Having a common purpose and shared norms and
creating a place that feels like your tribe is also quite important. This means having emotional intelligence, relationship building, building trust and being an active learner and observer.”
MOVING FORWARD – NEXT STEPS Sharing such learning under a big tent in the great outdoors reflected the inclusive and organic “festival of minds” that will no doubt help spur good ideas for next year’s awards and benefit people on the move hugely in the future. The event is also planting our community’s globally
gathered knowledge into the minds of boardroom business leaders. “It’s been a really interesting day,’ said Rosalind Smith, PR and Communications Manager at Mauve Group. “I actually found the Hub sessions so insightful. Just to hear in the Global Mobility space things from a slightly different perspective with people who are maybe on the corporate side. It’s really energising.” Rachida Zahouani, Admissions Manager of ICS
London, agreed. “It’s been a lovely day and a really nice experience. I’ve met lots of people with loads of ideas that I’ll take back to our school and hopefully implement. It would be great to come back and do this all over again.” “This is already an unforgettable industry
conference,” added Marc Burrows, Head of Global Mobility Services and Partner at KPMG International. “For me, I want to take away the hope and the possibility
this future of work gives us. It’ll take us working together as an industry, and for those of us with large employers in particular, to get with it and take it onboard as an asset. “I think with an embracing of remote work, flexible
work, we can crack the things that have been bothering us forever, like dual career families. There’s a chance for us to get more international experience into a more diverse and inclusive cross-section of the employee population, not just those willing to pack a bag and go and live in another place for a long time.” This is not going to happen on its own. This is why
the Future of Work Festival and the Centre for Global Excellence & Leadership are so important for raising the profile of our sector and the role we have in helping to deliver thriving economies. It is also why it is critical we continue to work together with purpose to do what we all do best – responding to changing demands quickly and innovating with empathy.
“ This is already an unforgettable industry conference. For me, I want to take away the hope and the possibility this future of work gives us.”
