An Introduction to Global Relocation

Wednesday, February 20, 2008 by Julian Yates



As a kick-off to my blog, A Closer Look at Global Relocation, I wanted to introduce myself and explain what I plan to discuss over the next couple months.

As a global relocation services leader, I am in contact with a variety of global mobility customers and providers on a day-to-day basis and I’ve found that there are some topics that seem to be of interest to most professionals whenever they relocate employees—be it the U.S., China or anywhere else in the world. Since I have been able to benchmark and study these highly relevant topics, I thought it would make the most sense to start this blog with some of this information. With that said, I will be initiating a discussion on barriers to assignment acceptance and how to overcome them, then I will be covering the latest trends in relocating to and within China and the true cost of an expatriate assignment, how to measure and track—all of which I feel will instigate a solid discussion on the challenges and barriers facing global mobility programs and introduce some best practices for overcoming these obstacles.

Are there any other topics that you feel would be relevant to cover? I am open to suggestions.

yes, another good topic would be where to find new trends and changing laws that affect international and domestic transferees. By now the only ones we know are www.relocast.blogspot.com www.reloblogger.com do you know more?

A topic you can discuss is the lack of information for international and domestic transferees when they relocate. I think there are a few resources online that also keep relocation companies informed of new trends and immigration laws that affect their processes. www.relocast.blogspot.com www.reloblogger.com These websites are the only ones who talk about these issues. It would be nice if you address this problem and talk about it. Thanks,
