Marianne Curphy and Dr Sue Shortland, discuss dual careers and how to manage them in a global mobility context.
They look at why supporting partners and spouses as well as the assignee can lead to better outcomes, more successful assignments and greater productivity and wellbeing
They also examine the risks to the employer if a working partner decides to stay at home, issues around working visas and support and whether the cost of supporting dual careers outweighs the benefits.
Fiona Muchie, Managing Editor and Founder of Relocate Global and Think Global People and Dr Sue Shortland, Senior Lecturer in Human Resources Management at the University of Westminster discuss how the cost of living crisis has impacted the global mobility sector.
The discussion is divided into two parts. The first part covers why companies need to encourage diversity and understand intersectionality in their workforce. The second part is a discussion on how the cost of living crisis has impacted international assignments, employees and their families.
