SUMMARY:Expat Expectations: Transitioning Talent Across Blurred Borders
DESCRIPTION:As hybrid models blur the lines between physical and virtual work\, companies are shrinking their office footprints and reconsidering relocations. The trend presents new challenges for talent management\, but also opportunities to dip into labor pools no longer hindered by geography.
