Virtual Event with Equus Software: Demystifying Global Mobility Financials: Practical Insights for Corporate Mobility Teams

Expat Academy has proved to be a valuable resource for me and my (one other!) team member - so much so, that each time I've worked in-house I've rejoined expat academy (I first joined them in 2012, I think!) . Although I've worked in the Global Mobility sphere for many years, I always come away with at least one nugget of new information or food for thought at every session I attend, whether that's a 'huddle' session or the conference or colloquium events. It's a really valuable space for me to connect with other Global Mobility leaders too, as I'm the only person responsible for Global Mobility in my business - networking and sharing experiences, I find, helps me to formulate my strategy for my business.

My new hire (to expand my team to 2!) also found it really helpful. She was completely new to global mobility and expat academy sessions have supported her through her learning journey and to understand what this niche area is all about! She's also begun to network with others at her level and so it provides a support network for her too.  She's also been able to engage with GMPD as a sister endeavour to Expat Academy and has found the two together to complete the picture for her.

I'd highly recommend membership at whatever stage of your career!

 

I started working with Expat Academy in my role as Head of Global Mobility at Arup when I first came to the UK in 2015. I was amazed by the value of this membership. As well as offering the perfect networking platform and dozens of free training courses the membership gives access to their 'Vault' which contains every kind of policy template, assignment letter etc, ever written which you are free to use, copy and get inspired by. The team working at the Expat Academy have years of experience in different Global Mobility roles. I highly recommend a membership for you and your team.

It’s always valuable to keep on top of new trends but the networking part where you can share practices is also something I find incredibly useful,

I often referred to the benchmarking tool in the first months of my new role.  There is a wealth of knowledge on all Global Mobility topics.  When the topic I was researching was not previously discussed I posted a question out to the network.  The network responses were very helpful and reassured me I was on the right track.  I recommend to all GM professionals to refer to the benchmarking tool when managing first time or complicated queries regarding international mobility.

What a fantastic day! It was really interesting to hear about the challenges that other organisations are currently facing, and also reassuring to know that we are not alone in our struggles. I found the round the world updates really useful and it resonated with me that although we might be in different locations, our struggles are similar!

 

An ideal opportunity to look externally and gain insight into other organisation's GM agenda. To be able to bring business related challenges to discuss with like-minded people and professional experts is priceless. 

 

Being able to share best practice with other Global Mobility professionals is key - why re-invent the wheel when it’s already there. Insight into compliance is much appreciated and helpful. Thank you for the opportunity to participate!

 

I found this an incredible reminder of how important culture is and how it can be influenced by DE&I.  Overall, I think it’s great that we got to hear about tips that the experts used to help not only implement, but the continuation, and the positive impact of DE&I.  

I would love to hear additional things that can be done at little to no cost! 

 

 I must say, Expat Academy keep me inspired to continually put on my learning hat and dive into the topics of interest in the learning hub with great enthusiasm. I genuinely enjoy the learning journey, and your all time support makes it all the more rewarding. 

The event was a very helpful session to go over recent UK, US and Global immigration updates. The team was very well prepared and provided comprehensive answers to our questions. Thank you!

 

 

I’m delighted to have become GMPD accredited through Expat Academy. The programme has been an invaluable framework for my development in Global Mobility, helping me to build knowledge in a structured way while also reflecting on my professional growth. The wide range of resources and practical insights have deepened my expertise and given me confidence to apply best practice in my role. I particularly valued the opportunity to learn at my own pace and to benchmark against industry standards. GMPD has been an excellent investment in my career and I would highly recommend it to any Global Mobility professional looking to strengthen their skills and credibility

 

 I regard Expat Academy as a valuable source of knowledge. It provides the Worldline Global Mobility team with access to an external, professional Global Mobility knowledge base at a global level, helps us stay updated with external developments and market benchmarks essential to our work, and offers opportunities to connect with other Global Mobility professionals through online or in-person organized huddles 

 

 I am continually impressed with how the EA team go over and above for their members.  It really is something you should all be very proud of.

The GMPD accreditation programme offers an incredibly rich and well-structured range of content, from hot topics to in-depth insights, it’s suitable for all levels. As someone new to the Global Mobility space, it gave me a solid foundation and helped me grow with regularly updated, relevant material. I especially appreciated the flexible format, whether reading, watching webinars, or listening to podcasts, and the time estimates for each activity made it easy to plan around my schedule.

 

The GMPD course was a great experience for me, I enjoyed the wide range of topics and appreciated how the platform was regularly updated with the latest immigration, tax, and relocation insights. The live events were a nice touch, offering flexibility to join from anywhere across the globe. Our Expat Academy contacts were also very supportive throughout the process, guiding us and sharing useful tips along the way. Huge thank you to the Team for their support!
