In this episode, Amy is joined by our EY Singapore People Advisory Services Tax partners Panneer Selvam and Lily Cheang to explore how global mobility is evolving - and why trust, integration and technology are now central to enabling speed, compliance and talent strategy.

As organisations adopt more complex cross-border working models, mobility has shifted from an operational function to a strategic enabler - supporting workforce decisions, market expansion and access to critical talent.

The discussion covers three key themes:

• Trust is the foundation of high-performing mobility programmes: Organisations that build trust across processes, data and employee experience deploy talent faster, achieve stronger ROI and accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) adoption - yet only a small proportion currently meet this standard.
• Mobility is becoming a strategic, integrated function: Leading organisations are embedding tax, immigration and workforce considerations earlier in decision-making, moving away from siloed models towards connected ecosystems that enhance speed, consistency and governance.
• AI and remote work are reshaping risk and opportunity: While AI is driving efficiency and predictive insights, its full potential depends on strong data foundations. At the same time, remote and cross-border work models are increasing tax, immigration and compliance complexities that organisations must proactively manage.

As global mobility continues to evolve, organisations that prioritise trust, integration and digital capability will be better positioned to move talent with confidence - and at speed.
