SANDRINE BARDOT, Dubai-based RECOGNIZED  INTERNATIONAL COMPENSATION EXPERT, discusses how the digitalisation of HR can help provide an employee experience which is on par with the expectations we all now have as digital consumers. Hi, I am a Total Rewards consultant, trainer, and speaker with +25 years of experience and a strong edge on Middle East approaches. Read More… Subscribe to this blog ! Please go to the Subscribe section and fill in your name and email to receive the latest posts ? We discuss how the digitalisation of HR can help provide an employee experience which is on par with the expectations we all now have as digital consumers. Digitalisation of HR In our region, there is a huge push towards implementing the digitalisation of HR, and some organisations are super advanced. For instance I recently attended a truly breathtaking demo of a performance management system apparently implemented across many Smart Government entities in Dubai. But let’s be honest, despite all the hype towards digitalization, the HR systems that I see used at my clients are often old…very old… Like for example this client’s “fill this Excel performance appraisal template and send HR a paper copy (!) signed by your manager” which I had to deal with, well, in 2019 ! The gap between our expectations and the experience of using current enterprise systems Millennials are expected to represent 75% of the workforce by 2025. In Dubai, in 2016 already, around 51% of the workforce was between ages 20 and 34, as per Dubai Statistics Centre numbers. The Millennial generation grew up with the internet and cell phones, and technology could be considered part of their DNA. Millenials have definite expectations about how digital systems should behave, and see a significant gap between their experience of digital systems on the consumer side, and the reality of what digital systems in the enterprise can deliver Chris Pope, VP of Digital Strategy, Service Now – cited in Tawahultech.com Indeed, existing software solutions in organisations are often “behind” in terms of user interface and responding to internal customer expectations, and do not fit with the way that people want to interact with their screens nowadays. Today’s workforce is used to getting results fast from its personal suite of shiny new hardware and apps : social media, wearables tracking their health, getting instant coupons when entering a retail space… Also think online shopping (Amazon and its recommendations), customer service and instant accessibility on any screen (Netflix), relying on recommendations, user reviews and ratings  (AirBnB or TripAdvisor)… You may say “Well, but this digitalisation has not affected HR yet”. Really ? Think about it : LinkedIn has more information on people than most HR systems do (languages spoken, skills, education and training/certifications, recommendations on the person’s professional achievements, and even career aspirations). Linkedin has also completely changed the way recruitment is done nowadays, and digital has almost finished to kill traditional classifieds in newspapers, and even job boards. Despite all their flaws, YouTube and short videos are becoming a by-default learning system. Who hasn’t looked for answers on a work-related question on YouTube, watched a TED video, taken a course on a MooC or a learning platform like Udemy or Coursera ? So how can these consumer trends translate in digital HR ? Imagine if your organisation could transform the employee experience through digital HR, for example by implementing some of these solutions : Integrating social and performance Some organisations use social integration and performance management results to reduce hiring time and improve hiring quality For example in the US, Macy’s track which of their seasonal workers are the most positive about their brand and re-invite the top performers year on year, thereby reducing the number of interviews required and the shorten the time-to-...

No surprise that travel restrictions and social distancing measures have especially impacted Talent Mobility programmes around the world. They do not only face challenges to which answers need to be found, but also some new dilemmas that are not easy to resolve. My constant interaction and recent discussions with players in the Talent Mobility market, but especially a virtual networking session with the Heads of Mobility of the Swiss SMI (Swiss Market Index) companies on April 3rd 2020, gave my some valuable insights worth sharing, that might help you to prepare yourself for decisions to be made and give you more confidence and comfort on decisions you already took. You will also learn about some new perspectives around some current dilemmas for Talent Mobility. Finally we will look on what the current crisis likely means in the long run, when it comes hopefully soon to an end. There are basically no differences between industries (all are effected in the same way) with the exception of the so-called system-relevant industries, such as pharma, medical supplies, food and supply chain etc.. While for them some exceptions from the travel restrictions are available, they are also far from business as usual. Different mobile employee groups at different stages of their travel or relocations were impacted by the wide-spread travel bans and immigration restrictions. The issues arose mainly in the following cases: Repatriations Postponed or cancelled assignments Foreign local hires Stranded Business travelers Cross-border workforce / daily commuters Home office abroad employees It is interesting to see, that currently Talent Mobility is getting involved in situations that they did not necessarily deal with before, such as home office situations of local employees, daily commuters and business travelers. HR is turning to Mobility to find answers to their questions in this situation. Talent Mobility challenges Let’s look at some of the challenges encountered with these employee groups: Compliance: taxation, social security, immigration (border closures), permanent establishment risk and medical support and insurance (duty of care) The early repatriation of assignees, while there are travel restrictions and lack of flights pose a challenge. Though one that most have already accomplished by now. Especially in Europe you will face situations where the employees choose to work from a home office in another country, maybe their home country, but sometimes also from their holiday homes abroad. The first task is to identify these cases, because when they simply work online it is not apparent for their employer where they work from. The awareness for the accompanying compliance issues (see list above) of such virtual work from abroad is very low among the business and employees and currently not on top of their agenda. It becomes the role of Talent Mobility to inform and advise the business and effected employees about the consequences and to develop approaches to deal with it. Stranded business travelers, who could not return to their home country before travel restrictions came into place, create compliance worries about tax,

Steven Howard is an award-winning author of 20 books on leadership, management, corporate branding, and marketing. He now specializes in creating and delivering leadership development curriculum for front-line leaders, mid-level leaders, and high-potential leaders. For over 25 years he has delivered leadership development programs in the U.S., Asia, Australia, Europe, and Africa to numerous organizations and institutions. He is well-known for his truly international and multicultural perspective, having lived in the USA for 30 years, in Singapore for 21 years and in Australia for 12 years. BOOK   Silver Award Winner, Nonfiction Authors Association Book Awards Distinguished Favorite Award, Leadership Category, 2019 Independent Press Awards Stress and our overloaded brains are two of the underlying causes creating conflict, tension, and drama in the workplace. They also result in poor decision making and less-than-optimal thinking by leaders at all levels of the workforce. Daily juggling of data, reports, email, meetings, decisions, and way too much information has leaders operating in "mind full" modes. This is not good. A more effective method is to make decisions in a mindful mode, a skill that can be learned. As a leader, the decisions you make and execute shape the lives of team members, colleagues, direct reports, customers, suppliers, and the communities in which you operate and live. Unfortunately, the majority of leaders are unaware of how stress, multitasking, and overtaxed brains trigger poor decisions, thinking, and outcomes. This book will help readers become more cognizant of when stress is triggering them toward poor decision making. It will also help leaders become more aware of the many benefits that mindfulness practices will bring to their decision-making and thinking capabilities. WHAT I DO I help companies turn good managers into GREAT LEADERS using development workshops and coaching services while bringing the best practices of Fortune 500 leadership training programs into your organization without Fortune 500 costs.

I have extensive experience in financial services, petroleum, manufacturing, and high-tech industries. WHY IT WORKS: Having trained over 10,000 leaders in the U.S., Canada, Asia, Australia, Africa, Europe, and the Persian Gulf,. I bring a unique mixture of cross-cultural experience and knowledge into my leadership coaching, training programs, and keynote speeches. WHAT OTHERS SAY:   “I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Steven speak at several major conferences over the years and he brings both energy and valuable new insights to his audiences. I was delighted to have him accept our invitation to speak at our Financial Times sales team regional meeting.

Once merely a subset of HR but now its own critical department in most organizations, Global Mobility is currently undergoing a global transformation. New technologies, the constant evolution of companies, generational diversity and political situations have evolved the roles and lives of mobile professionals faster than existing policies can keep up, calling for a clear focus on the processes to be updated to cater better for the people driving Global Mobility. Are you as a Global Mobility Professional feeling overwhelmed by the speed and scope of this ‘boom’? Perhaps you need to introduce yourself to the field and get a better, broader overview of Global Mobility. Maybe you are in HR or a line manager and want to ensure that you are becoming an employer of choice for younger generations demanding Global Mobility as a prerequisite for working with you. Or, you are just on the brink of deciding for or against an international assignment as an expat or expat family and want to understand the language we use better. Let us help you! How we will help you? Working with Angie Weinberger will enable you to: run your Global Mobility in a more strategic way by deeper understanding trends and drivers of Global Mobility, develop and sort out your legal framework, policies, guidelines, exception management, give you models for improving how you explain what we do to the outside world, support expats and their spouses and enhance their “Expat Experience” through training, coaching and deeper understanding of the psychological effects of cultural adjustment, develop your professional profile and “Global Competency”. In order to make the expat experience worthwhile for their careers and support for their families even better, it takes people who want more than ticking off a checklist. It takes dedicated professionals and it needs personal communication with the entire expat family. We want to bring the human touch back into our process-driven work. That is just the tip of what Global Mobility truly is, provides not only a baseline starting point to understanding the field but is a hands-on manual for people in HR, line managers, expats and their spouses.

We challenge you to re-discover your Heart. About Mobility has been good to me over the last 30 years and I have learned what it means to be humble yet remain decisive, I am still learning as much today as I did on my first day as a field consultant all those years ago and feel sure this will continue. I have worked with organisations big and small, organised and chaotic and have always found a way to contribute and improve. I have met and made connections with some amazing people in mobility and made some enduring friends. I hope that this all led to the founding of Heart Relocation and an ability to translate all that knowledge, experience, the highs and lows into a service defining offering that will become the benchmark by which all mobility service provision is judged. Specialties: Full service relocation and assignment programme creation, implementation and delivery, including policy review and benchmarking, group moves, global expatriate moving and associated services  ROB FLETCHER - UK HEART RELOCATION  ...CO-FOUNDER Delivering expatriate assignment management services to companies relocating employees overseas, with Heart It occurred to me that as we continue to work with clients who are moving assignees at different levels of seniority and experience, that our industry as a whole has tried to commoditise what we do to such an extent that we have forgotten the simple fact that all assignees are not the same! I appreciate that there are different policies that need to be applied to different business needs, just as I appreciate the fact that the cost of an assignment is significant. As companies have globalised, the need to move talent around the world has increased significantly. This has led to an increased focus on the cost of assignments, as the threshold for more scrutiny and procurement in the decision process has been surpassed. Furthermore, it has highlighted to businesses just how much relocation assignments actually cost. Does One Size Really Fit All? More often than not, mobility industry service providers have been faced with some difficult questions in terms of what they should charge for their services, especially under greater fiscal scrutiny from potential clients. It is generally accepted that there has been a reduction in the fees that the industry can charge for delivering what is, in fact, becoming a more complex service. What has been the industry’s response to this? Simple – they have followed the easiest route; they’ve reduced their prices and looked for increasingly innovative ways to reduce the costs of delivering a service to their customers in order to maintain a strong profit. There is evidence that the “stack them high, sell them cheap” mentality has pervaded the mobility provider market. However, this mindset does not come without consequences, as we have seen recently with the acquisition of the once mighty Cartus being bought by the once commercially challenged SIRVA, amongst many of the additional consolidations we have seen in recent years as companies struggle to make the financial dynamics of their business’s work. The challenge, as I see, it is that they have applied a “one-size-fits-all” rule to employee relocat...
