In 2017, immigration has become a divisive issue. And yes, there are partisan politics involved in that division, but there has been another noticeable split coming to a head. When it comes to immigration – not just in America, but in other countries across the world as well – a schism between politics and business has formed.
Immigration Policy vs. Business Trends
Since the start of this year, government policies have tended toward higher scrutiny and immigration crackdowns, with the protection of American jobs as the foremost priority. At the same time, businesses are finding themselves facing a labor shortage unlike any they’ve seen in some time, and their global reach is expanding. The need for international talent, mobility and possibilities are at an all-time high.
Jamie Gilpin, a 15-year veteran to the HR technology industry and Envoy CMO, offers a look back at the most important immigration trends of 2017 in the live webinar, The Changing Landscape of Immigration Management. Join us on Thursday, December 21 for a deep dive into the impact of the infamous travel ban proposed by the Trump administration, requests for evidence (RFEs) increases, and other significant changes in immigration policy and practice in the U.S.
