Guest speaker Ian Ridgwell (ECA International) outlines the Permit Foundations focus and highlighted his survey which translates the need for such assistance in fascinating facts and figures.
The second speaker was Amanda Oldridge for Watson Wyatt who looked at various HR strategies of attracting and retaining international staff. The final speaker was Christelle Lebrun, who as a professional woman and an international relocated partner gave us all insight on what is important to her and what HR services benefited her and her family the most in relocating to HK.
