The complex and rapidly changing socioeconomic and political climate in China, together with a massive shortage of skilled workers, makes human capital and global workforce development particularly challenging. As a follow-up to SIRVA's China Urban Index, released in 2006, SIRVA Relocation recently completed a study to address the lack of readily available relocation data and trending on mobility policy and practices in China. The results are documented in "The SIRVA China Mobility Report."
Thirty-seven leading global companies contributed to this unique SIRVA research initiative, the results of which have formed a valuable benchmark framework for human resources professionals to observe current key mobility policy and practices in China. This benchmark report on key findings and trends represents SIRVA Relocation's analysis of the most up-to-date data spanning seven industry sectors in both Tier 1 and Non-Tier 1 regions in China.
Substantial differences in infrastructure and accessibility exist between Tier 1 and Non-Tier 1 regions, which companies must evaluate when creating policies to introduce employees to these varied conditions.
Tier 1 includes major capital cities in China, which offer better infrastructure regarding health, housing, education, communication, access to facilities and security. Non-Tier 1 locations are generally four to six hours away from capital cities, some with very limited expatriate standard infrastructure, difficult environmental factors and obstacles relating to housing, education and health care. Beyond Tier 2 cities have minimal or no expatriate standard infrastructure in place.
Key findings of this study will be posted later this week.
