Has remote working opened a global talent pool for businesses?
As competition for skilled staff intensifies, firms can take advantage of a 24/7 workforce across time zones Caption here pls.... Major events in recent years have resulted in more professionals working in a flexible mix of home and office settings, even across borders – but forward-thinking employers have enjoyed the benefits of hybrid setups for much longer. Now, more businesses are beginning to recognise the considerable potential upsides of taking a similar approach, with a borderless workforce. In fields like tech, fintech and creative industries such as gaming – where competition for talent is especially fierce – being able to search in a far larger talent pool from all over the world can make a significant difference when it comes to successful recruitment. Offering the ideal candidate the flexibility to work where they choose also makes them far more likely to say yes. For companies weighing economic pressures and geopolitical uncertainty, a remote workforce can offer a compelling solution to persistent hiring headaches – but there are wider benefits too. With technology powering a round-the-clock business culture, organisations that are able to keep projects moving by handing them off across time zones gain a serious edge over competitors. Productivity doesn't stop at close of play. This is before the additional practical incentives are considered – reduced office costs, regionally adjusted remuneration rates and the ability to have local teams engaging directly with international clients. Secondary factors also come into play. For companies focused on ESG, operating in a more sustainable way through distributed teams can become a meaningful part of their environmental and social impact profile. Of course, managing teams across multiple world regions brings challenges of its own. From embedding a brand's ethos and rolling out consistent working practices, to ensuring full compliance with local tax and employment law, complexity can multiply quickly.

Adani eyes airport unit IPO by 2027, accelerates $100 billion capex pace, Bloomberg News reports
June 12 (Reuters) - Billionaire Gautam Adani's group is planning to list its Adani Airports unit by 2027, as part of a growth plan that requires investing $100 billion across businesses over the next few years, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday. The unit is set to be spun off and listed by March 2027, the report said, citing Adani Group executives who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Adani Airports operates eight airports across India, including the Navi Mumbai International Airport, located in the outskirts of India's financial hub, which the company expects will be operational soon. The company also doubled the pace of its capital spending plan and now expects to allocate $100 billion in five to six years instead of spreading it out over a decade as announced before, the report added. The airport unit secured a $750 million investment last week from a consortium of international banks. Part of the funds will be used to refinance debt of $400 million. Reuters could not immediately verify the report, and Adani Group did not immediately respond to a request for a comment.
