Listen "The Next Generation of Assignees: Gen Z, Millennials, and the Demand for Purpose"
Episode Synopsis
Kathryn Blackley-Smith is the Global Mobility Senior Manager EMEA at Alvarez & Marsal. Join us as we dive headfirst into the next generation of international assignees – think Gen Zs and Millennials – and what truly motivates them to take on assignments abroad. You’ll hear candid stories about falling into global mobility entirely by chance, myth-busting about what these younger employees really want (hint: it’s not just about the money), and a real look at how modern policies need to do more to support people as individuals, not just moving parts.
