The International Relocation Associates (TIRA) members worldwide attended the Worldwide ERC (WERC) Global Workforce Symposium in October which offered an invaluable opportunity to listen, learn, and network with valued clients and partners.
Jose Andres, World Central Kitchen was the keynote speaker. He inspired the audience with his dedication to serving meals to devastated communities. Mr. Andres, a chef and restauranteur, has won awards for his cooking and humanitarian work.
The atmosphere was upbeat and optimistic about the future of mobility. Spirited discussions centered around strategizing business growth, identifying geo-political and regulatory trends, and addressing global challenges, including sustainability.
Key themes and relevant takeaways included:
- Focusing on high-touch services
- Investing in digitalization
- Prioritizing service providers that deliver value for the money spent
- Learning that HR/Mobility leaders are seeking consultative service partners
- Standing out amongst a sea of competitors
- Building community amongst a global network of service providers
- Aligning with corporate values and priorities
- Sharing best practices
Additionally, the Ignite sessions offered opportunities to get to know the speakers who shared in-depth personal and professional insights about themselves.
The TIRA breakfast was a great success as members reconnected with their colleagues and friends from around the globe.
Brenda Levis, TIRA Chair and President of NYC Navigator, graciously invited valued RMCs and service providers to the breakfast. She commented, “It was a tremendous pleasure to bring our members together and to observe their warm camaraderie. We appreciated the RMC’s attendance and were proud to introduce our distinguished members.”
The busy week was capped off with EuRA’s reception and dinner. The Mexican-themed festivities added to the fun evening.
TIRA members look forward to the next in-person gathering of industry professionals. In the meantime, TIRA hosts monthly member roundtables that elevate learning and gain professional insights.
