How companies can retain their expat staff

Talent retention strategies are largely focused on remaining competitive in local talent markets. For expatriate and mobile staff however, companies need to factor in global markets.

Mobile employees have many opportunities – they have proven their aptitude to work in their home countries, their country they are currently posted and in markets further afield. How can companies best retain their mobile staff in the face of these threats?

Workforce Mobility Interactive 2016 will take a look at what makes staff mobility and expatriate management strategy work in today’s environment.

Taking place in Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore in February 2016, Workforce Mobility Interactive is an exclusive invitation-only conference open to director and VP-level HR professionals and senior mobility specialists from global and multinational companies.

“Intense competition and increasing business costs are what motivate many companies to hire the right people, locally and overseas, but to experience results, companies should perform talent screening the right way,” said Aditi Sharma Kalra, regional editor of Human Resources magazine.

“That is why it is important for HR professionals to understand the latest trends in the area of sourcing and selection process so they can choose or design the strategy that fits their organisation best.”

Workforce Mobility Interactive 2016 will address issues the HR community has found to be the most pressing for HR practitioners in Asia.

Here is how one of the topics, candidate sourcing and selection, will be presented at the event.

Delegates will gain industry insights on tri-generational attitudes and values towards work mobility and assignment in a panel session. Panellists will discuss how organisations can manage continuity, retention and long-term engagement for global millennials on the move.

The speakers are Heisly Loh, CEO & founder of Corate & Founder Institute, Yvonne Teng, HR director for RASO & Commercial Management at Ericsson, and Dr. Roslinah Bux, senior manager for productivity & competitiveness development at Malaysian Productivity Corporation.

Interactive sessions will be dedicated to demonstrating the ways on how to find the right talent in the right places with key topics such as how to implement a proactive sourcing process for talent in the face of changing workforce demographics and employee demands, as well as different techniques on how to optimise global talent sourcing strategy and manage a growing a pool of talent.

“Workforce Mobility Asia consistently attracts HR experts and mobility specialists who want to stay updated with the trends in talent mobility and to connect with renowned names in the industry,” said Evon Yew, regional producer at Human Resources magazine.

“Delegates and speakers get a clearer view of the conference topics and easily network with others because of the event’s interactive setting.”

Workforce Mobility Interactive is Asia’s only regional conference on staff mobility and expatriate management strategy. Attendance to the one-day annual event is strictly by invitation only with invitations reserved for senior in-house HR professionals. Attendance is capped at 100 delegates.

Workforce Mobility Interactive 2016 focuses on the most pressing issues pertinent to mobility and expatriate management such as international compensation & benefits, global talent management, return on investment, and regulatory compliance as well as risks and opportunities in dealing with an evolving intergenerational and diverse global workforce.
