Send us Fan Mail

Marie Truchassou is a global mobility HR consultant, founder of My Expat Compass and Forwards International HR, and one of only two people in France to hold both the GPHR and SPHRi certifications in international HR. In Part 2 of this conversation on Rooted and Routed, she goes deeper — into the systems, the failures, and the future of global mobility.

In this episode:

• How AI is reshaping global mobility HR — and what it will never be able to replace
• Behind the scenes of an on-the-ground HR audit — from Jakarta to Pekan Baru, Indonesia
• What happens when relocation providers prioritise their own interests over the expat's wellbeing — and why HR inaction ends assignments prematurely
• The invisible work of expat partners — volunteering, NGO hours, logistics management — and how to make it count on a CV
• Why the moment of repatriation is the most powerful salary negotiation leverage point an expat will ever have
• Marie's vision for redesigning international HR from scratch — and who would benefit most
