Her insights were particularly valuable for organisations managing employees across the Nordic region.
Key Themes and Takeaways
1. Personalisation is Key for VIP Assignments
Daniel Natoli stressed the importance of tailoring mobility programs to meet the unique needs of business-critical employees. From managing extraordinary destination risks to providing concierge-level support, personalisation is essential for ensuring both employee satisfaction and business success.
2. Adapting to Evolving Immigration Policies
Jesper Albrekt highlighted the dynamic nature of immigration regulations, particularly in the Nordics. With governments tightening compliance requirements while introducing new pathways for skilled talent, organisations must stay agile and proactive in their immigration strategies.
3. Cross-Border Taxation Requires Strategic Planning
Lærke Hesselholt underscored the need for careful planning when managing cross-border employees. From understanding tax residency rules to mitigating permanent establishment risks, organisations must navigate a complex web of tax and social security obligations.
