The Importance of Hiring Support
Hiring global talent requires not just the recruitment of individuals but also creating a supportive ecosystem for them. It's likened to selling a dumbbell without guidance on how to get fit; simply hiring is not enough if the rest of the framework is lacking. For instance, organizations may struggle because they fail to define what success looks like for their employees. Providing structured support and holistic training drastically increases the chances of successful global talent integration.
