EXCLUSIVE: TNT is in the midst of aligning its global mobility framework with its talent management structure to bring both elements into the full HR cycle.
Lisa Dempsey, global HR manager at TNT, will discuss how the logistics organisation has been through a major transformation to align global mobility and talent management, as well as how its different way of thinking can help other employers bring the agenda to life in an organisation, at Employee Benefits’ sister brand the Forum for Expatriate Management’s (FEM) Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Global Mobility Summit 2014 on 7 November.
The session ‘Engaging your business: Getting global mobility on the talent management agenda’ will cover regional positions, its strategic necessity and mapping mobility and talent.
Dempsey said: “This is absolutely doable and it is a must-have for organisations based in Europe. It is about getting these two pieces of the puzzle working together.
“We are doing this because it is important for the future of TNT. It is something management has an eye on and is high on the priority list.
“It is an exciting transformation in TNT with a lot of new energy, and there are a lot of very good innovative ideas that are being embraced that we are bringing to life.”
The interactive session will also enable delegates to ask questions.
“I have purposely planned in time for people to ask questions,” Dempsey said. “It is not a formula employers implement overnight. It is an idea that requires innovation and we can all engage to make it happen.
“It will continue to evolve and if the global mobility community does not start picking this up and proactively bringing tools and knowledge, then their business will be in a difficult situation.
“Global mobility is far too expensive, the demographic is changing far too quickly in Europe and organisations need to get ahead of the curve.”
FEM’s EMEA Global Mobility Summit will be held at the Lancaster London on 7 November 2014.
