The Future of Global Mobility with the 3 T’s (Technology, Time and Trust)

Eve Duvoy

A guest post by Eve Duvoy, Global Mobility Manager Let’s start with the basics: not so long ago, in France, “Global Mobility” was called “International Mobility”, and to work in this function meant managing employees going on an assignment in a foreign country and benefiting from a (more or less broad) range of advantageous measures.  Where does the shift from International Mobility to Global Mobility come from? The term Global Mobility designates a function within “People and Culture” in the corporate world and refers to a larger scope and includes many types of employment abroad: permanent moves, international home office, digital nomads, you name it.    The direct consequence of this is the increasing complexity of managing these new forms […]

The Swiss Summer Slump


With the start of international and Swiss school holidays, you notice fewer people on the trains, and motivation to work is generally lower than usual.
