What do you need to consider when recruiting new suppliers, vendors or when establishing manufacturing or operational bases across a larger number of countries? What about the trend toward geographic flexibility and hybrid workplaces? How are changing tax, social security and residency rules for mobile employees and business travelers impacting corporate decisions? Is there a “Florida factor” in recruitment of international talent and how is it materializing?
These are some of the questions discussed during a well-attended, studious yet inter-active seminar held on October 18th in Fort Lauderdale. The event was hosted by Kaufman Rossin and panelists included Scott Bettridge (Chair Immigration Practice – Cozen O’Connor), Matt Mann (VP of Sales – reesmarx) and Peter Stratos (Principal, Tax Advisory Services – International – Kaufman Rossin). The panel was moderated by Karen Fonseca (VP Business Development HRP Americas – TMF Group).
EACC Florida was also delighted to welcome Bob Swindell, President & CEO – Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, who offered remarks about economic trends, developments and opportunities in Broward County and S. Florida at the start of the event.
