Defining Your “Employee Deal” And Using It To Create Competitive Advantage – what has the Employee Deal got to do with mobility?
10:45 - 11:30
Sending people to work in other countries has been common practice since the concept of paid employment first appeared. How you send people is much more of a fluid affair – where rules, tax, policy and law meet culture. Our tendency to focus on the technical bits, does not mean that the cultural questions are not important. Quite the reverse – they are the most important bit. Join BDO LLP for this exciting Interactive Tax session.
