The HR World’s webinar, Immigration and employment: Are you really compliant? Sponsored by the immigration platform Borderless, uncovered not just the challenge of being compliant when engaging overseas talent, but more generally the fast changing and ever higher obstacles organisations are facing when trying to access this kind of talent.
With a highly informed and experienced panel consisting of increasing Matthew Bond, CEO & Co Founder, Borderless, Kirstie Jones, Chief People Officer, Salutem Care and Education and Gareth Neale, Head of Human Resources, Crimson Hotels, the session covered recent changes in Home Office policies and regulations, the challenge of keeping an entire organisation up to date and compliant as well as the challenge of meeting audits when they take place.
What emerged is a highly complex area of employment where HR professionals are often in a difficult situation of having to consider the position of good and in demand skilled employees because they cannot always meet the requirements for keeping them within the organisation.
While the processes and requirements around employing immigrants continues to shift and change, it is clear that good communications, continuous understanding of regulations and investment in appropriate technology can make life easier for HR departments in this respect. Despite everything, there are still ways in which organisations can bring in great talent and employ them compliantly and safely. However, as Matthew Bond noted, the complexity around this kind of employment is such that there are rarely no issues that need addressing and organisations constantly need to work to manage their risk.
Following on from the webinar our panel of Matthew Bond, CEO & Co Founder, Borderless, Kirstie Jones, Chief People Officer, Salutem Care and Education and Gareth Neale, Head of Human Resources, Crimson Hotels give an insight into the realities and challenges of correctly employing overseas candidates in a Q&A session.
This webinar is full of insight and experience from the frontline of employing international talent. It is a must-see for any organisation currently employing immigrants or any who wish to take advantage of this source of skilled workers.
