LEARNING LAB - RES FORUM'S BRAND NEW VIRTUAL EDUCATION PROGRAMMEDeveloped in partnership with Knowledge Anywhere, to help GM Professionals become experts in Global Mobility, the curriculum covers the following aspects of Global Mobility and International Relocation:
Each module includes an assessment to ensure understanding and drive engagement. For participants who want to take their Learning Lab experiences to the next level, ‘RES Accreditation’ is a valuable supplementary part of the programme, assessing and providing formal recognition of the knowledge you have acquired on completion of the Learning Lab programme. As part of the supplementary accreditation you will be measured on application of your learnings from the programme with respect to a challenging but real life global mobility case study. Training for Internal & External Teams The course is designed for in-house GM and HR Support Functions, in-house Shared HR Service Centres, and International Relocation Services Suppliers. Although pitched at entry level, the course is far from basic – in fact some of our most experienced members failed the tests (we promised to not share any names!) What participants learn Participants will obtain a better global understanding of processes, and their roles and responsibilities within them: The course examines mobility from the assignee perspective therefore enhancing the user's understanding of the employee experience, as well as technical areas of compensation and compliance. It also provides a cost-effective solution for specialist subject training on the complex area of global mobility.  RES ACCREDITATIONRES Accreditation is the industry benchmark in taking HR and Global Mobility professionals beyond the basics of global mobility management and allowing them to demonstrate their understanding of mobility and HR concepts in practice. The RES team send candidates a mobility case study and require that they prepare a recorded PowerPoint (including audio) or a video presentation, which builds upon the knowledge acquired through the Learning Lab. The presentation is then sent to our qualified assessors, who are, without exception, current or previous Heads of Reward or Global Mobility. The assessment will result in either pass or fail - with a pass rate of around 70%. Successful candidates will become ‘RES Accredited Class of 2018’ and will receive our logo and business card templates for use on their business cards, their email signature and on their LinkedIn profiles. They will also appear in our public ‘Hall of fame’, allowing employers and clients to see when accreditation was achieved. Whether pass or fail, candidates will receive a feedback summary of their submission. To find out more click here. AVOIDING RELOCATION MELTODOWNS IN THE WAKE OF BREXIT BY SARAH-JANE BUTLER, PARENTAL CHOICEThere’s a reason it’s called the nuclear family, and although it’s actually about the nucleus as a core rather than the use of atomic weapons, the possibility of runaway and disastrous chain reactions in the high-pressure situation of an international relocation is very real. Get it wrong and you may have set in motion a chain of events that will have a negative impact on not only the employee’s company, but also one may argue, more vitally, that of the employee’s family.
