Abstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted almost every industry and organization. As organizations that operate across national borders, multinational enterprises have been particularly impacted by the pandemic. Drawing insights
from ongoing research on the role of HR in responding to the crisis and also on the role of learning and development in enabling the post-COVID19 workforce this session will reflect on what the pandemic means for global talent management and global mobility.
It will provide some key thoughts on the directions which future research in this space could evolve to better understand these important phenomena.
