Supporting Talent Mobility
A
s businesses continue to
look offshore for new growth
opportunities, there is a growing
reliance on Mobility Practitioners
from around the world to function
as ‘enablers’, creating more flexible
commercially focused approaches
to support business leaders mobilise
their workforce across country or
state borders.
Deborah De Cerff , founder of The
Employee Mobility Institute (TEMI)
believes that mobility professionals
today need to become strategic
and operational advisors if they
are to add value to the business
and support their organisation
to effectively implement its cross
border expansion activities.
“Mobility programmes around the
world are continually adapting to
changing growth strategies. As a
result, global mobility practitioners
must be able to balance the
tactical or operational needs of a
business with the need to guide
and advise on multi-jurisdictional
compliance obligations, create
flexible and commercially sensitive
programmes, determine appropriate
compensation and benefits
support packages and create

strategies which will help build
the organisation’s talent pipeline
now and into the future”, Deborah

industry such as global mobility,
ongoing learning is essential. In
that regard, TEMI recently launched
The Global Mobility Professional
(GMP1)TM e-learning programme,
providing credentials to support the
talent mobility industry, globally.
The GMP1TM e-learning programme
