Huddle Discussion: Strategic Value or Operational Necessity? Navigating the Expanding Scope of GM
10:30 - 11:30
As the boundaries between traditional assignments, remote work, and frequent business travel continue to blur, Global Mobility in APAC is increasingly stepping into territory once considered "out of scope." This huddle examines whether this expansion is a deliberate strategic alignment with the future of work or a reactive necessity to manage emerging risks. We will discuss the reality of overseeing these non-traditional moves—is it a move toward a more purposeful, talent-led function, or is GM simply the natural home for the complexities that no other department is equipped to handle?
Networking Break
