International remote working – have you solved the puzzle?

Plenary

International remote working has secured a firm place in the post-pandemic mobility landscape and continues to be a much-debated topic. Companies had to quickly introduce new policies and processes to handle a huge increase in “work from anywhere” requests. With a bit more time to think this through, have you found the perfect balance of reaping the many benefits international remote working brings, without creating compliance risks?

We’ll discuss the feasibility of managing international remote workers in an equitable and cost-effective manner, and how technology can support risk mitigation and help keep track of this population.
