Club 100 Network Huddle

From: Jul 10, 2024 @ 10:00 AM
To: Jul 10, 2024 @ 4:30 PM

Location: London

Huddles are a member-only day for our Networks to get together and discuss current hot topics, share challenges and solutions and gain an understanding of broader market practice. The day is an opportunity to meet with other Global Mobility professionals managing a similar-sized expatriate population and listen and learn from each other, the Expat Academy team and the expertise of our technical partners.

The local time of the event is 09:30 - 17:00 GMT

Why you should attend

The aim of the day is to work collaboratively with your peers to overcome the challenges keeping you awake and get answers to the burning questions causing you angst. As the day’s agenda is built around what the attendees want to cover, and is finalised just a week before the Huddle, the conversations are guaranteed to be of immediate benefit.

What will be covered

Small roundtable sessions to discuss current issues
Feedback from other tables to learn from wider experiences
Corporate updates from members on their latest challenges and projects
Mix, mingle and chat during regular breaks & over lunch
Networking drinks bring the day to a close

Employee requested? Business Driven? Or Both…..
10:15 - 11:00
In this era of hybrid work and employee experience, how do we distinguish employee-requested moves from business-driven relocations? We'll discuss how organizations manage employee requests versus high-cost business moves, and question whether the differences are as clear as assumed. This discussion will offer insights to support both employee-centric and business-critical relocations.

Perspective Playground: Playing Devil's Advocate
15:15 - 16:15
Get ready to have your perspectives stretched and assumptions challenged in this interactive Huddle session! We’ll tackle the dilemma of how often you do an RFP. Is it worth the time and effort or should Global mobility teams be regularly conducting RFPs to ensure service and costs are continually the best for your programme. You’ll challenge fellow attendees in an avantgarde format that pushes us out of conventional thinking through spirited exchanges to strengthen your critical thinking. The session will leave you with new perspectives regarding GM’s toughest trade-offs. Join us as we dispel one-track notions and advance as strategic, whole-minded mobility leaders!

Testimonials

The Expat Academy membership is truly valuable. It gives a great opportunity to keep learning, staying connected with peers and listening to insights as well as trends.

Alexandra Oeda

An excellent opportunity to meet peers and keep up to date on topical issues relevant to the industry. The huddles are really informal and you are made to feel comfortable to add to the discussions and be involved.

Mel O'Hara

Club 100 sessions are always really useful. It’s an invaluable opportunity to connect with peers and sense-check ideas. ‘Hot potatoes’ are fab too and a useful opportunity to discuss those current challenges and real-time problem solve. Most of all just an opportunity to network (and a day away from the desk!) is great

Helen Harfield

I thoroughly enjoyed the huddle in London, I learnt so much and made some great notes. I’m relatively new to GM and I came away from the huddle feeling inspired and confident that I’m on the right track.
