Talking Global Mobility: Tune into Our Expert-Led Podcast

Discover captivating stories and expert insights on global mobility. Tune into our podcast, "Moving by the Seat of Our Pants" in partnership with EQUUS Software for a deep dive into the dynamic world of Global Mobility.

In today's interconnected world, global mobility is more crucial than ever. Companies are expanding their reach beyond borders, and employees are increasingly open to international assignments and becoming globally mobile employees. This trend is not just about filling positions; it's about fostering innovation, cultural exchange, and global collaboration.

As businesses strive to remain competitive, understanding the intricacies of global mobility can be a game-changer. Whether it's navigating visa regulations, managing cultural differences, or ensuring employee well-being, the importance of global mobility cannot be overstated, something anyone who has worked in this industry already knows!

Why we decided to do a Podcast

Lets be honest people!!! We find Global Mobility amazing, fun, intricate and challenging... but try talking to your family, friends or neighbours about what you do for a job and slowly you start to see their eyes glaze over, and their mind wander to whether they're going to have chicken or go with the vegetarian option for dinner tonight!! We've all been there, describing a day in which you're trying to rewrite an employee centred policy, explaining a challenging stakeholder conversation or even trying to detail to your friend over a beer why you were getting frustrated because a cost estimate and comp statement just wouldn't BALANCE!!! It just doesn't resonate with everyone... and we get that, why would it?

So when we floated the idea earlier this year of doing a Podcast about Global Mobility my immediate question was "who on earth would want to listen to that... my own family still thinks my job is just moving people!!". But as I thought about all the conversations I've had over the years, through events, on calls or catching up with industry friends, I realised there was something in the conversations we have.

Creativity Blossoms in Conversation

Why do we enjoy the networking at the end of any event? Sure, the wine helps lubricate the social gears, but it's really the conversations that steal the show. Those informal chats, the laughs, the connections, and the delightful discovery of quirks in our industry pals. But hidden in these banter-filled exchanges is something deeper. We're swapping tales of the pressures that have been sat on our desks for months, realizing we're not the lone rangers we thought we were, and finding out there are folks who actually understand our daily grind. We're trading secret weapons, sharing war stories of wrangling tricky stakeholders and employees, and concocting solutions for the office battles awaiting us the next day. We're creating in our conversations the tools and strategies that will help us in our day jobs.

It's during these unscripted, panel-free moments at our events that the 'good stuff' bubbles up, and it got me thinking, "Why bubble up this magic for the podcast?" (less the wine, of course). Just a long chat about a topic, sprinkled with personal anecdotes, laughter, and genuine exchanges to bring that good stuff to the surface and share with those eager to listen.

Conversations with Industry Leaders

So that's what we've done!!! Our podcast is all about having engaging chats with some of the brightest stars in the global mobility world. Hearing their stories, sharing ours, laughing, enjoying each others company and tackling a topic we either know a lot about, or not enough. Do we take what we do seriously on the Podcast? Absolutely! Do we take it too seriously and not laugh and joke about it? Absolutely not! It's all about finding that balance.

In our very first episode, we’re thrilled to have Kate Fitzpatrick from Mercer join us to share her insights on the ever-changing scene of international assignments. There's fun, excitement, some great advice and a few things you didn't know about Kate and ourselves.
