ALT Governance of ESG: From silos to shared expertise In today's business landscape, the elephantine "E" in ESG—dominated by climate action, carbon reduction, and resource sustainability—often overshadows the "S" (social) and "G" (governance) dimensions. Prof. Sam Garg, ESSEC Business School Asia-Pacific, dives into a bold idea: Decentralising CSR responsibilities across multiple board committees that break free from the traditional model of a single, centralised CSR approach.

ALT Who exactly is a migrant worker? It’s complicated. Organizations like the UN, the International Labor Organization, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (3, 4, 5) consider a “long-term migrant” someone who moves to another country for at least a year, and a short-term migrant someone who moves to another country for at least three months but less than twelve months (except if their purpose is related to tourism, medical treatment, business, or religious pilgrimage). However, many people also use the term “expat” to refer to the same populations, and there isn’t a consensus on what differentiates a “migrant worker” and an “expat”. Further complicating this is the fact that human migration is studied by academics in different fields, from economics to anthropology – although it has not been studied in depth by human resource management scholars, showing the need to study this talent pool to learn how to better manage it.
