To survive in the ever-changing global arena, companies should rework their strategy, keeping in mind that borders cannot act as barriers against talent mobility. Peggy Smith, president of worldwide erc, tells us more.
Peggy Smith is the person to turn to for all things related to companies making an overseas move, and, more importantly, sustaining and building their presence there. After all, she is the President and CEO of Worldwide ERC®, an organisation that functions as the primary source of information, education and networking for the worldwide workforce mobility industry, for over 8,000 member companies.
With the millennial workforce increasing in size and impact, global communications creating new avenues to connect for work and play, technology acting as a key disruptor and political changes affecting economic and social linkages, companies are grappling with a wide range of issues. It is key to note here that expansion overseas is not just affected by these factors but also by the individual employee’s ability to adapt and form positive work relations with his/her counterparts from other countries and cultures. It is these issues that Peggy looks into – and seeks to help companies handle issues on talent management and retention, mobility strategies and workplace harmony between members of different generations and cultural backgrounds. under her, the Worldwide ERC® expanded its reach further in the APAC (Asia-Pacific), EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and LATAM (Latin America) regions.
In this interview with Culturama, she shares her thoughts on several topics, which include noteworthy trends in the mobility arena, some key pointers to ensure harmonious working relationships across borders and India’s potential role in the global workforce arena.
As CEO of Worldwide ERC ® , you have a ring seat in the global arena. What are some notable trends you have observed in terms of the attitude towards mobility and exploring hitherto unknown regions through job opportunities?
