The Next Generation of Assignees: Gen Z, Millennials, and the Demand for Purpose

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.   Tune in to this episode as we explore: (04:08) EMEA global mobility leadership (08:10) Balancing work, life and growth (12:05) Global mobility guiding and supporting (14:40) Balancing business and employee needs (18:42) Navigating global mobility challenges (20:02) Adapting mobility for Gen Z (23:56) Mental load: a growing awareness (27:34) Flexible policies for dynamic needs (30:19) Policies ignoring dual-income norm (33:25) Centralised immigration support platform utopia (36:53) Mental health support for relocation (39:28) Support during key challenges   Links mentioned in this episode: Kathryn Blackley-Smith on LinkedIn Alvarez & Marsal
