At the latest Global Chamber® League of Opportunities, Part 2, Stuart Robertson of Go Global discussed global hiring and HR trends for 2024-2025.
The Virtual League of Opportunities (LoO) is a monthly forum organized by Global Chamber® on every third Friday where we have members of the global tribe with new opportunities meet up with the global community, having access to funding, clients, resources, partners and more. We hold parts 1 and 2.
At LoO, members exchange information about their ideas and ask/answer questions for possible buyers/investors/clients and more to accelerate growth.
Watch the full discussion HERE.
The program included Stuart of Go Global, Ban Faris of Arizona State University, Bernardita Calinao of Walkspan and Bill Edwards of Edwards Global Services.
Key points from Stuart Robertson on HR trends included:
1. A shift from remote work to hybrid models 2. Companies looking for profitability rather than just growth 3. Increased caution from investors regarding workforce composition 4. Slowing employment rates in areas with high labor costs 5. Growing interest in emerging markets like China, India, Africa, and Asia-Pacific for talent 6. Impact of AI on roles, with AI supplementing or automating some jobs 7. Companies focusing on profitable and smart investments to increase valuations
Stuart also shared a case study of a company's international expansion challenges and explained how Go Global helps organizations with global expansion through services like employment of record, entity setup, payroll, HR advisory, and compliance support.
Their target clients are typically organizations with 200-2000 employees looking to expand into new countries.
