10.30am — Third Culture Kids - Raising Portable Children

There are many challenges associated with an international move, and how global mobility impacts children is a concern for many families. This session on Third Culture Kids will discuss what research tells us about these unique youngsters and how we can best support them during this life-changing experience. This session is for parents, but also educators, human resources and relocation professionals who want to understand more about raising and educating children abroad. Mary Langford is an independent international education consultant who has over 30 years experience working in international schools with families of many nationalities. As a TCk who spent a transient childhood in Europe, the USA and Latin America, her personal insights and professional experience make her a strong believer in the many advantages gained by internationally-mobile children when they are supported by parents and schools.

11.30am — I’m Settled....What’s Next?

A Focus On Long-Term Relocation Support Often all of the attention is placed on the first few weeks of an international move. Join FOCUS to learn the longer-term support factors which have been proven to ensure a successful relocation for the whole family.

3.00pm - How Do You Apply Procurement Practices To Mobility?

Procurement in the mobility industry can be a complex task, as the concept of supplier management is in its infancy when compared to industries such as technology or retail. SIRVA utilises proven procurement principles that are the foundation of this presentation. As we walk through each step in the process, we provide best practices as well as examples that will simplify the application of procurement to mobility management. Presented by SIRVA.

4.00pm - Payroll Compliance For Mobile Employees

As the pressure on internal and external compliance gets greater, the challenges of reporting compensation data for international assignees, in particular relocation expenses and third party vendor expenses, gets no easier. Data is invariably embedded in multiple data sources, often in different locations. At the seminar we will discuss what the reporting requirements are, what challenges are faced by organisations and explain some of the ways in which companies are deploying global processes to collect and report relocation expenses and third party vendor expenses. Presented by Deloitte LLP.
