Description
In Real Estate the mantra is Location, Location, Location. When it comes to managing your global HR operation the mantra is Different, Different, Different; as in everything is different based on the countries in which you are operating and the regulatory changes that seem to happen every day. In this session, Ragu will share some trends seen in global expansion and operations as well as detailed information that will help you anticipate and prepare for the complexities of global HR. HR’s contribution is critical in developing a Global Workforce Plan. The management of talent needs to be consistent with local corporate structure and tax frameworks. Additionally the lion’s share of overseas cost is HR related. So HR will be involved in the broader business requirements which impact employment brand, speed of hire, ability to offer benefits, etc This session will help you manage your global expansion plans smoothly by providing the information that enables HR to do what it does best – asking the right questions to avoid making assumptions that might overly increase risk so eliminating nasty surprises.
