The GMPD program has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. It has been a transformative journey that has unlocked my potential and unleashed a passion for excellence. I wholeheartedly recommend GMPD to anyone seeking to elevate their capabilities and achieve new heights in their personal and professional endeavours.
Raz Begum, Slalom
MyGMPD is a truly amazing and helpful platform. Being relatively new to the Global Mobility, all the materials, articles, webinars really help me firstly reconfirm the basic understanding I already have, reassure me I am on the right track, but also learn so many more new things, benefit from other companies’ and countries’ experience, and keep on top of the latest trends. It is great to know that time and effort I put in my personal development will be recognized and rewarded. The GMPD team is extremely helpful and attentive, which puts me at ease to ask questions or help.
Petya Pavlova, ERM
I can confidently say that that the GMPD program has exceeded all of my expectations and provided an excellent source of information and massively helped me develop as a Global Mobility professional.!
Gareth Vaughan, Grant Thornton
I describe MyGMPD as a very enriching experience as this program has documents, webinars and material that is very useful for acquiring knowledge on Global Mobility topics. In addition, I would like to highlight that this program has the latest news that occur globally in the Global Mobility sphere and its different associated matters. I also highlight the role of my Virtual Learning Advisor from whom I received suggestions for trainings to take to be able to reach my 40 points. I highly recommend getting certified as a GMPD!
Daniella Angulo Pineres, Nokia
Working in the ever-changing world of Global Mobility requires a constant renewal of knowledge, whether it be linked to legislative changes, technology enhancements or trend setting policy updates. I personally return to the programme each year as I’m a strong believer that for us to be able to offer our best selves when facing these changes, we need to be equipped for the job and MyGMPD is one of the tools in the kit that allows that.
Will Scrupps, Imperial Brands
The GMPD programme was great. As someone who got into Global Mobility tech without prior Global Mobility background, I was able to broaden my knowledge of the industry. I'm confident that my learnings will help me do my job better and I can say that I have become better equipped in having conversations with my clients and colleagues!
