Foundation Partners play a fundamental role in the development of Talent Mobility in Asia and the formation of ATMA's supportive programs and services for the industry across the region.
Hong Kong, DATE -May 29, 2023 Asia Talent Mobility Alliance (ATMA), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the innovation and development of the talent mobility industry of Asia welcomes the support of the RNA Group K.K. , a provider of destination, visa and immigration services as a Foundation Partner.
Foundation Partners provide substantial financial, talent and knowledge resources to help fulfil the vision and mission of ATMA. The program stands apart from a typical sponsorship and involves a deep partnership and leadership position for developing the organization. Invitations were extended to those companies with a demonstrated dedication to the professionalism and advancement of the talent mobility industry in Asia.
"As cooperation and trade grow through agreements like RCEP and ASEAN and as Asian headquartered corporations expand regionally and globally, we believe an association built in Asia for the Asian talent mobility community and wholly focused on advancing that community is necessary," stated Sean Collins, ATMA Launch Committee member. "ATMA is a not-for-profit and relies on the support and active participation of members and sponsors. As a Foundation Partner, RNA Group extends its deep investment and involvement in ASIA and highlights a strong commitment to the Talent Mobility community here."
“Our mission is to help people and their organizations with Mobility Services that support the globalization of Asia,” states Bryce Conlan, Director of RNA Group K.K (Japan), “This aligns perfectly with AMTA’s plan to build a talent mobility industry devoted to Asia and Asian-based companies.” “We are excited to join forces and together”, says Steve Burson, Director of RNA Group and CEO of Relo Network Asia (Singapore). “This will make faster progress on this essential component of properly representing our industry in Asia, but that until now, has been missing.”
This 30-minute session is a condensed overview of the current status of housing, immigration, policy trends and more impacting mobile talent and the teams supporting them.
For our premier session, our focus is on China.

The strength and success of an alliance that includes a wide variety of companies across a region the size of Asia relies on membership with diverse backgrounds, unique perspectives, and different locations.
Our Launch Committee members mirror that ideal and, while standing firmly behind ATMA’s mission, vision and pillars, find personal meaning in each. We asked them to share their individual views and to permit us to publish their profiles in this series.

The Asia Pacific workforce is in a state of flux. The COVID-19 pandemic has upended the way we work, and employees are rethinking their priorities. In PwC's Asia Pacific Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey 2022, they surveyed nearly 18,000 workers across the region to get a sense of what they're thinking and feeling.
The survey found that employees are restless, with just over half satisfied with their job, over a third planning to ask for a pay rise in the next 12 months, and one in five intending to change employers. Given the acute skills shortage across the region, companies must do more than attract new staff; they'll also need to 're-recruit' the talent they already have by creating the conditions that make people want to stay.
Here are seven reasons why you should read PwC's Asia Pacific Workforce Hopes and Fears Survey 2022:
1. To understand what employees want
The survey found that employees want more meaningful work, a better deal around fair pay, and to be able to bring their authentic selves to work. But are their leaders listening?
2. To identify the key trends shaping the future of work
The survey also found that employees are concerned about the impact of technology on their jobs, the future of work, and the future of the workplace. By understanding these concerns, companies can start to develop strategies to address them.
3. To benchmark your company against the competition
The survey provides a wealth of data on employee sentiment and behavior across the Asia Pacific region. By benchmarking your company against the competition, you can identify areas where you're doing well and areas where you need to improve.
4. To attract and retain top talent
In a competitive job market, it's more important than ever to attract and retain top talent. By understanding what employees want and need, you can create a workplace that people are excited to be a part of.
5. To improve employee engagement and productivity
When employees are engaged and productive, they're more likely to stay with your company. By understanding what drives employee engagement and productivity, you can create a workplace that helps people reach their full potential.
6. To make better business decisions
The survey provides valuable insights into the mindset of the Asia Pacific workforce. By understanding what employees are thinking and feeling, you can make better decisions that will impact your business.

This bill aims to promote flexible work arrangements and modernize the country's workforce. With the increasing trend of remote work globally, Thailand has taken a step forward to provide a legal framework for employees to work from the comfort of their homes.
The new bill requires employers to provide the necessary equipment and technology for employees to perform their job duties effectively. It also ensures that employees working from home receive the same benefits and protections as those working in a traditional office setting. The bill also establishes telecommuting guidelines and outlines employees' and employers' rights and responsibilities.
The bill's passage is in line with the government's commitment to promoting digitalization and modernization in the country. It is expected to encourage more businesses to adopt remote work policies. Adopting the Work-from-Home bill in Thailand marks a significant milestone in formalizing this workforce category.
