Based on the findings, the researcher can provide recommendations to improve diversity and create an inclusive work environment.

Global Talent Acquisition Strategy

This strategy can involve identifying countries with talent pools that align with the company's needs, creating partnerships with immigration agencies, and implementing effective recruitment and onboarding processes.

Immigration Compliance Audit
