HR Challenges of International Expansion

Overview
Facts & Figures from the Latest Economist Research

Working across borders and cultures raises new challenges for businesses, and how they tackle these growing pains can have a significant impact on overall performance. Despite a decade of expansion and globalisation, the overwhelming majority of respondents cite HR challenges as a constraint on growth while acknowledging that international expansion is an opportunity for HR to make a strategic contribution. So why this disconnect? And how can HR and business leaders move forward with confidence when the world of work and the nature of international business are evolving so fast? The research from The Economist Intelligence Unit sheds light on these differences, to help growing businesses avoid common pitfalls and find ways to accelerate performance to meet the manifold challenges of this next decade.



Building a Talent Acquisition Strategy for Global Expansion

Global expansion is a key challenge of growing relevance in the eyes of many multi-national companies. As a result, HR is faced with the significant challenge of local and global recruiting among many other challenges. However, most companies are still lacking a comprehensive and strong talent acquisition strategy. Actions related to talent acquisition very often are short-term reactions based on various unrelated strategies such as job ads, executive search, employer branding and the like. A strong talent acquisition is rather based on clear anticipation and prioritization of current and future workforce demands are needed. Depending on the various types of demands different resources, analytical insights, practical approaches and local/global responsibilities are required. This keynote provides practical guidance on how to build a talent acquisition strategy for international expansion based on successful and real-life examples.
