Online Article: A View From The Plane Window – Enhancing The Employee Experience by Stuart Jackson, Sterling“When I flew recently to Bratislava, I found some time during discussions to look out of the plane window. I saw the industrial complex of Slovnaft chemical factory and the giant Petr‘alka housing estate right behind it. The view was enough for me to understand that for decades our statesmen and political leaders did not look or did not want to look out of the windows of their planes. No study of statistics available to me would enable me to understand faster and better the situation in which we find ourselves” (Havel, 1990). This excerpt taken from Vaclav Havel’s New Year’s address to the nation in Prague on 1st January 1990, is significant for a number of reasons. Much of the free trade we see across Europe and beyond today, some 28 years on, and which fuels the expatriate activity of our global organisations, can be traced back to the world changing events of 1989. The fall of the Berlin Wall is the most obvious to the majority, but the fall of the one-party government of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and installation of Havel as the first President of Czechoslovakia can be counted amongst the many outcomes. Moreover, however this section of the speech can be seen as a metaphor for scenarios faced by Global Mobility teams and international assignees alike in terms of the employee experience.

Online Article: The Challenges of Implementing Global HR Systems & Processes by David Regan, Squire Patton BoggsOver the last few years, we have seen an increasing number of multinationals implementing Globalised HR Systems, often in conjunction with Global Shared Services centres or 'Control Towers' structures. These can take many forms, but usually involve a combination of the following: · Design, adaptation and implementation of specific HR process workflows, commonly throughout the entire employee lifecycle (or as it's sometimes known, 'hire to retire') · Incorporation of a Shared Service Centre, involving finance, HR and other back office functions · Relocation of existing roles from their current locations into the Shared Service Centre, often across borders · Changes to roles and streamlining of teams. Our involvement in these projects has given us a front row seat in dealing with these issues, and the purpose of this article is to share this learning as well as highlighting common issues, mistakes, challenges and misconceptions, so that readers who are seeking to implement their own such processes are prepared. We have focused in this article on the design and implementation of HR Systems and Processes. Dealing with the issues surrounding Global Shared Services centres or Control Towers structures is an article in its own right. To read the full article click here.
