Redefining Employee Experience priorities … again!

We are certainly not out of the storm in terms of the pandemic. However, as Malaysia prepares to move to endemic phase of Covid-19 and learn “to live” with the virus, there is a growing sense that this is not a permanent landscape and there is optimism for the future.

There are numerous talks about “flexible work arrangements” or “hybrid work mode”, but how ready are the Malaysian employers in planning and implementing new policies to manage this new working style?

And what do HR and  Global Mobility professionals anticipate in terms of EX (Employee Experience) for both local and international workforce? Like many trends in Global Mobility, we see alignment increasing with corporate, business and Human Resources.

Join our panelists from Crown World Mobility, International SOS Malaysia and Sitecore, and discuss the changing course of EX.

Underlying themes we’ll be discussing

  1. Emerging EX priorities during Covid-19 – flexi work arrangements
  2. Changing role of HR professionals in managing international workforce
  3. Employees’ mental wellbeing and companies’ responsibilities (duty of care)
  4. Return-to-workplace and Return-to-travel plans, and the related risk management strategies
