90: Ep 090 - HR’s Role in Geo-Workforce Strategy

Hi, and welcome back to SHRM Global Radio ! I didn't really give much thought before today, but that word - Global - has become so laden with meaning of late – both good and bad, for and against. For so long, it felt like the world was just getting smaller, right? Borders blurring, policies aligning. We built incredible talent pipelines, leveraging efficiency. It was almost like a perfectly curated LinkedIn feed of global talent, but without the endless humble brags and pseudo-profundity. Nowadays, you might’ve noticed, something has shifted. Geopolitical tensions, shaky supply chains that make you question basic economics, nationalistic policies, and a fresh focus on local resilience are driving ‘de-globalization.’ This isn't about shutting ourselves off; it's a strategic reset - a more fragmented, localized approach to global business. And guess who's right at the heart of navigating this new reality, often with little more than a strong coffee, and a prayer- if you’re so inclined? Us merry folks in HR, that’s who. It feels like HR is heading towards uncharted waters again. We're looking at HR’s Role in Geo-Workforce Strategy: How we influence where and how companies build teams across borders in a de-globalizing world.
