Frederik Ballon is director of sales and operations for Europe, the Middle East and Africa for PeopleFluent, a provider and manager of workforce talent management solutions. He spoke with EBN recently about how to adapt retention strategies to a global environment.
EBN: What challenges does going global present for a company, in terms of talent retention?
Ballon: Having a global footprint as an organization really enhances your ability to offer employees something to get them to stay in the company. So it basically opens your ability to retain your employees by giving them an international perspective. In my own role, I talk to applicants for a variety of roles quite regularly and the ability to have an international career, to work in the international arena, is probably one of the most often-cited reasons why people want to come and work for PeopleFluent. So it’s something that opens doors to opportunities to retain people rather than pose challenges.
