I’m delighted to share that our Outlook for Global Mobility breakfast briefings are back across Asia. These half-day, in-person sessions are designed for in-house HR professionals who manage international assignments and want practical, data-driven insight into what’s coming next.
As we move through an eventful 2025, shaped by shifting immigration requirements, geopolitical pressures, and persistent economic uncertainty, the ability to stay agile in mobility planning has become essential. Organisations are also balancing competing expectations from employees and senior leadership, prompting many to revisit and refine their mobility policies. ECA’s aim with this year’s briefings is to help HR teams navigate these challenges with clarity and confidence.
What to expect
During the briefing, I’ll be sharing the latest findings from ECA’s 2025 research, focusing on the policy developments and market trends that are having the biggest impact on global mobility. Here is an overview of the planned agenda:
