• Gobal Mobility

  As the world becomes more interconnected, borders no longer constrain talent. Traditionally, global mobility meant a company’s efficiency in moving employees to different countries as expatriates or for business trips and assignments. Today, global mobility has evolved to mean a company’s ability to support a global workforce, fulfil workers’ preferences, and win the war on talent. In this HR Chat, Shannon Karaka will draw on his industry experience and real examples to explain how the concept of working while living and traveling abroad extends well beyond the traditional ‘OE’ or expat assignments, and now forms part of a modern employee development and retention strategy. Shannon Karaka has led the New Zealand and Australian operations of global HR platform Deel since 2021, helping customers hire and manage staff compliantly from anywhere in the world. He champions flexibility and a healthy work-life balance as a way to maintain a positive mindset.
