2008 GMAC Global Relocation Trends Survey Results

We received a Press Release yesterday from GMAC Global Relocation Services announcing that this year's annual survey report has now been released. The well-respected annual GMAC report has been quoted in many articles and forums since its inception in 1993.

We even quoted last year's report in two of our articles last year for the ERC (Employee Relocation Council)'s Mobility Magazine: Expat Networking: Helping You Improve The Success of Expat Assignments; and From Chennai to Shanghai: Expat Executive Women Working in Asia.

Here is some of the info of interest from yesterday's press release:

"Now in its 13th year, the annual Global Relocation Trends Survey has become the definitive study of companies’ employee-relocation practices, policies and projections. As it does each year, the newly released survey paints a comprehensive picture of evolving trends and emerging issues facing companies of all sizes that rely on an international workforce.
