When does portability travel across oceans?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until recently, when a military spouse packed up to move to a new country, they accepted a period of unemployment. (Have you heard military spouses joke about an employment gap the size of Guam?) But things are changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hiring Our Heroes<\/a> is highlighting one Army spouse\u2019s persistence to remain employed with her current employer while living in Singapore. Thanks to supportive leadership and a strong network of military spouse colleagues, her employment story can inspire more military spouses to have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/the-time-is-now-calls-for-action-at-the-military-spouse-employment-summit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">portable careers<\/a> beyond borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cIt Was Not as Easy as Picking Up My Laptop and Logging on From Abroad\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cassie McConville is an Air Force veteran and Army spouse working as a senior consultant at Deloitte Consulting LLP. A year ago, McConville and her husband discussed the possibility of an overseas military assignment. The couple agreed they were interested in the opportunity. But during the preparation process, the question &#8212; <em>if<\/em> and <em>how<\/em> she could maintain employment with Deloitte while living outside the United States? &#8212; nagged McConville. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI recall thinking, \u2018Deloitte has locations all over the world. This shouldn\u2019t be too hard, right?\u2019 While Deloitte does have an office in Singapore, it was not as easy as picking up my laptop and logging on from abroad,\u201d McConville said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her search for the answers started with her employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInitiating conversations about my move early with senior Deloitte leaders paid dividends, since there was no clear path or single person with all the answers,\u201d McConville said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Related:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/military-spouses-looking-for-remote-work-opportunities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Military Spouses Can Look Forward to More Remote Work Opportunities<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McConville networked with several Deloitte leaders who formed an informal task force supporting her relocation. The task force engaged with relevant stakeholders, both domestically and globally, to overcome barriers and to transition her Deloitte employment to Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were several issues to resolve between security and international tax obstacles, foreign work pass requirements, aligning with Deloitte\u2019s Southeast Asia firm and Singapore COVID-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMeanwhile, I kept the information close hold from my immediate team. I worried my imminent departure might change our working dynamics, or I would be relieved of tasks, because people would not want to invest in someone who was leaving,\u201d McConville said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the time came to share her news, the reaction was the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy colleagues were delighted for our family and expressed how I had impacted them \u2013 making the goodbyes even harder,\u201d she said. \u201cOne thing was clear during these conversations: At all levels within Deloitte, I was encouraged, supported, and even offered travel recommendations for our new life in Singapore!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Network of Military Spouse Ambassadors Provide Transfer Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deloitte provides audit, consulting, tax, and advisory services to more than 7,000 private companies. The global firm employs 415,000 people in more than 150 countries and territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deloitte Consulting LLP Specialist Executive <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/us\/en\/insights\/industry\/public-sector\/military-spouse-unemployment.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rosemary Williams<\/a> explained that more than 2 million military families move every two to four years, on average. Frequent relocations are a contributing factor to high military spouse unemployment rates. Receiving military orders to move to Asia isn\u2019t unique for military families. But McConville\u2019s current employed status is rare among her peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c[Cassie\u2019s story is] unique in the sense that her employer, Deloitte, strongly and enthusiastically supported her efforts to remain employed with the organization and further her career growth, despite the unusual PCS location,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201c[Cassie\u2019s story is] unique in the sense that her employer, Deloitte, strongly and enthusiastically supported her efforts to remain employed with the organization and further her career growth, despite the unusual PCS location.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Rosemary Williams, Deloitte Consulting LLP Specialist Executive<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deloitte has a volunteer, peer-led <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/us\/en\/pages\/careers\/articles\/military-spouse-initiative.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Military Spouse Initiative (MSI)<\/a> to attract and retain talented military spouse employees. One of MSI\u2019s functions is to support military spouses during Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves, helping them remain with Deloitte while relocating with their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within MSI, Deloitte\u2019s Military Spouse Ambassador Program focuses on transfer support and mentorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMilitary spouse ambassadors ensure military spouses understand the transfer process within Deloitte,\u201d Williams said. \u201cThey help military spouses connect with other Deloitte professionals who have made similar moves. The ambassadors also facilitate important conversations between military spouses and key individuals across the firm to ensure seamless transitions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the ambassadors provide a sounding board throughout the transfer process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/resized-Air-Force-veteran-Cassie-McConville-with-Deloitte-coworkers-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"group of 4 people at dinner\" class=\"wp-image-5027\" width=\"512\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/resized-Air-Force-veteran-Cassie-McConville-with-Deloitte-coworkers-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/resized-Air-Force-veteran-Cassie-McConville-with-Deloitte-coworkers-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/resized-Air-Force-veteran-Cassie-McConville-with-Deloitte-coworkers-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/resized-Air-Force-veteran-Cassie-McConville-with-Deloitte-coworkers-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/resized-Air-Force-veteran-Cassie-McConville-with-Deloitte-coworkers-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption>Cassie McConville enjoys dinner with her Deloitte co-workers at a restaurant in Singapore. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McConville recalled the value of networking during her transfer process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs a former Air Force officer, I was accustomed to a hierarchical structure that communicated via the chain of command,\u201d McConville said. \u201cDeloitte\u2019s matrixed organizational culture allowed and encouraged me to directly contact senior leaders \u2013 it was opposite to my previous military experiences. In fact, I remember how shocked I was after learning I could just email a partner and request a coffee chat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She advised military spouses to be brave and have courage if they find themselves in a similar employment situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAssuming it\u2019s appropriate in your organization, don\u2019t be afraid to ask senior leaders for help. Their advocacy for your case carries a lot of influence, and they may know about options outside your purview,\u201d McConville said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Deloitte has these resources because of its greater commitment to service members and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSupporting military spouse employment improves retention rates within our nation\u2019s fighting force and helps mitigate the negative impacts of spouse unemployment,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, military spouses bring valuable skills to Deloitte, and the firm wants to retain this top talent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDeloitte understands the value military spouses bring to today\u2019s workforce \u2013 including, but not limited to, their resilience, tenacity, teamwork, eagerness to upskill and learn, and empathetic leadership at all levels,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cYou Can Become a Trailblazer\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McConville\u2019s success story hinged on a tenacious spirit. It took eight months to work through the challenges associated with her desire to continue to work at Deloitte. Throughout this period, her job status in Singapore was in constant flux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHowever, Deloitte never wavered in its commitment to keep me employed and support me and my family. And when I arrived in Singapore, a company laptop was waiting for me,\u201d McConville said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Military spouses need resiliency when faced with international moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPersistence is key! The first person you contact may not have all the necessary information or authority to make your international transfer happen, but don\u2019t give up,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/resized-Army-spouse-Cassie-McConville-and-her-husband-in-Singapore-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"an American couple at traditional Chinese tea house\" class=\"wp-image-5028\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/resized-Army-spouse-Cassie-McConville-and-her-husband-in-Singapore-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/resized-Army-spouse-Cassie-McConville-and-her-husband-in-Singapore-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/resized-Army-spouse-Cassie-McConville-and-her-husband-in-Singapore-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/resized-Army-spouse-Cassie-McConville-and-her-husband-in-Singapore-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/resized-Army-spouse-Cassie-McConville-and-her-husband-in-Singapore-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hiringourheroes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/resized-Army-spouse-Cassie-McConville-and-her-husband-in-Singapore.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption>Cassie and Michael McConville visit Tea Chapter, a traditional Chinese tea house located in Singapore.
