Global talent mobility

Global talent mobility

At Grant Thornton, our global talent mobility, also known as overseas secondment programme can only be described as second to none. The provision of overseas secondments in the early years of employment is an important part of our commitment to the training and development of our people. Secondment programmes can range from short-term of six months to as long as 24 months. The global talent mobility policy provides comprehensive assistance for all secondees including airfare, accommodation, living allowance.

“ My whole eight months secondment to the Singapore member firm has been a life changing experience. I expected problems in adjusting but as of day one, I felt comfortable and safe in Singapore. I’ve acquired a deeper and better understanding of IFRS and gained invaluable experience in dealing with international audit assignments. This will definitely be useful when my home office sets up a separate department to handle international audit assignments. I am grateful to the managers Vinay and Elizabeth from whom I have learnt so much working alongside with them and their teams.”
