  Mobility in transition (with Weichert Workforce Mobility)

  Jun 18, 202619 min

  Episode 2: Breaking the code on failed assignments (with Weichert Workforce Mobility) Why are modern employees inherently less mobile, and how can organisations pivot before an assignment falls apart? In part two of our special series, The RES Forum and Weichert Workforce Mobility analyse the operational and psychological barriers that text-book policies fail to address. David Enser , Soren Sturup-Toft and Jennifer Connell share real-world anecdotes comparing the 'salad days' of high-budget oil and gas relocations with the high-velocity, 'get-it-done' demands of modern tech hyperscalers. What we discuss in this episode: The three CHRO blockers: Why rising nationalism, the dual-income household trap and the safety net of inherited wealth are making talent reject relocation. Virtual and distributed assignments: A look at how forward-thinking companies (like Bayer) are leveraging cross-border business travel over permanent disruption. The data holy grail: How global mobility teams can mine datasets and AI tools to screen for worker skills and for location resilience and suitability. The gig risk matrix: Assessing the compliance, intellectual property (IP) and tax tracking nightmares that come with managing a borderless external workforce.
