Cultural Shifts with Global Mobility

Last week Mobile’s Principal and Founder was fortunate enough to sit down with her friend and colleague Trisha Carter from Trans Cultural Careers.

As a registered Psychologist with a Masters degree majoring in organisational psychology, Trisha's work focusses on cross-cultural psychology. Having worked in HR and in the global mobility industry and lived and worked in New Zealand, China and now Australia she understands the challenges organisations face as they move their employees globally.

Our discussion includes:

  • Personal stories of adapting to new cultures, the importance of accepting and understanding local ways, and strategies to help expats thrive.

  • The evolution of the global mobility industry, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the shift towards prioritising the emotional as well as practical needs of relocating employees.

  • The critical role of empathy and professionalism in resettlement work and how these values help new arrivals to settle effectively.
