Are You Interested in the W.I.N. Conference in Rome this October?
Hi Everyone, If you are interested in attending this year's Women's International Networking (W.I.N.) conference, then good news... registrations are now open and, on top of the early bird pricing (which runs until 22 June), if you mention "ExpatWomen.com" you are eligible to receive another 100 Euros off.
When? 5 - 7 (8) October 2011
Where? Rome, Italy
More details? www.winconference.net
"Every year, the W.I.N. global leadership conference, a three-day global learning program, brings together over 1000 people from more than 70 countries including: company executives, entrepreneurs, independent professionals, consultants, academics, artists, thought leaders, government and NGO representatives, international business school faculty and students.
The W.I.N. approach to the three-day learning event is based on “world”- a global overview; “work”- professional and career issues; and “you” - leadership and personal growth. They are distinctly feminine and focus on learning, creativity, exploring and applying feminine power, and accelerating innovation and change. The program is carefully designed based on a systems approach and a vision for the future based on sensitivity and increased global and feminine consciousness."
It has been a while since I attended a W.I.N. conference (2007, Oslo), and I cannot go this year, but I have only got good memories of the conference and I have only ever heard positive comments from more recent participants. In comparison to some other conferences I have attended, Kristin Engvig's humility and passion is to be applauded and I highly recommend the conference to any forward-thinking woman interested in being inspired by, and networking with, a large group of wonderful women. So think about going, and if you go, enjoy the experience! Andrea

Are You A Relocation/Global Mobility Industry Professional Looking For A Flexible, Part-Time Sales Position?
Hi Everyone, We at Expat Women are excited to soon launch our first (of several) high-quality, company-customizable books for the relocation and global mobility industry, which talk about real-life issues for expatriate women and aim to inspire women abroad.
We want to make a real impact on the relocation/global mobility industry, and to do so, we need an industry professional who is available and passionate to help.
Do you know anyone?
Ideally, we are looking for someone with all of the following attributes:
* Has 10+ years genuine experience working professionally in the relocation/global mobility industry (not just moving around yourself, even if you have moved 20 times, sorry), with a major relocation/mobility company
* Is a fabulous networker and already has many legitimate contacts in this industry that they can approach straight away
* Loves people and is not afraid to initiative conversations to help sell our products
* Has excellent written and oral English communication skills
* Has great online skills (email systems, Internet usage, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, LinkedIn and so on)
* Boasts high integrity and trustworthiness
* Is female (given that we are a women's site)
* Resides in the United States
We want the role to be a win-win, so we invite you to work from home and determine your own part-time hours. This role therefore might be perfect for someone taking time out of the full-time workforce (perhaps to raise a family), but who still wants to work in the industry and gain new experiences.
For more information, please send your confidential email (and why this interests you) ASAP to: Andrea Martins, Director, ExpatWomen.com. Thank you.
Expat Women.com is the largest global website helping women living overseas. Our goal is to inspire your success abroad. We share 1,700+ expat women blogs, interviews with successful women living abroad, 300+ readers' stories, information for nearly 200 countries, links for expat clubs and international schools, an inspirational blog, a free monthly newsletter and hundreds of motivational articles. We have 11,000 members, from 175 nationalities, based in 191 countries.
Just Released! 2011 Global Relocation Trends Survey Report (Expats)
Hi Everyone, The annual, well-respected and highly quoted Global Relocation Trends Survey Report has just been released, by Brookfield Global Relocation Services.
Here are some excerpts from their press release today:
* 61 percent of global companies surveyed are expecting to transfer more employees in 2011 than in recent years, according to the just-released 2011 Global Relocation Trends Survey Report, published by Brookfield Global Relocation Services.
* The percentage of new hires for international assignments hits an all-time low (8 percent).
* Meanwhile, only 9 percent of international assignees are 20 to 29 years old (tied for the lowest percentage in the report's history).
* While there are some signs of improvement, obtaining spouse/partner employment during international assignments continues to be a struggle. In this report, 60 percent of spouses/partners were employed before but just 12 percent during assignments.
* 18 percent of international assignees were women, compared to a historical average of 16 percent.
* 68 percent of international assignees were married and less than half (47 percent) had children accompanying them, an all-time low.
* Just 74 percent of companies provided cross-cultural preparation - the lowest percentage in the history of this report -While this benefit may be an easy one to cut to reduce costs, it is difficult to ensure the quality of web-based or self-service cross-cultural preparation that is usually offered as an alternative.
* As a consequence, although companies are increasingly focusing on cost reductions and efficiencies in their international relocation operations, amazingly, 92 percent of companies did not formally measure return on investment (ROI). When asked why, 50 percent of respondents indicated that the principal reason for not measuring ROI is that they do not know how to achieve it.
* China, Brazil and India are top emerging destinations; China, India and Russia cited as most challenging destinations for both expats and relocation managers.
* The location of a company's headquarters is a significant factor in that company's optimism: Those headquartered in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) were more optimistic than their counterparts with headquarters in North America. For example, 64 percent of EMEA-based companies expected to send more employees on assignment this year, versus 58 percent of companies based in North America.
In all, 118 multinational firms participated in the worldwide survey; combined, these firms manage a worldwide employee population of 5.6 million. Brookfield Global Relocation Services will present key findings of its 2011 survey on Thursday, April 21, during a complimentary webinar that will provide a comparative analysis of the key global mobility issues facing businesses today. All webinar attendees will receive the full Global Relocation Trends Survey report. To register, please click here.
Brookfield Global Relocation Services is a full service provider of corporate and government relocation and assignment management services to more than 250 corporate and government clients. Brookfield Global Relocation Services manages over 50,000 relocations in more than 110 countries throughout the world, and funds over $3.6 billion dollars in relocation expenses annually. Brookfield Global Relocation Services is an operating company of Brookfield Residential Property Services, a leading global provider of real estate and relocation services, technology, and knowledge.

Talent Mobility 2020: The Next Generation of International Assignments
Hi Everyone, If you are interested in trends and predictions for global mobility, you might be interested in last year's Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) report entitled, Talent Mobility 2020: The Next Generation of International Assignments. If you missed it then (like we did), here are some of the highlights we just read about:
* Global assignments are expected to increase 50% by 2020. Compared to the last decade (1999-2009), which saw only a 25% increase.
* Many countries’ populations are aging, and as a result many of those economies face talent shortages. Collaboration between businesses and government is inevitable in order to address the gaps - and people will likely continue working past today’s typical retirement age.
* Additionally, by 2025, the world’s 30 most highly populated cities will feature new cities not even listed in 2007, edging out cities such as London and Lima. These newly listed locations can provide a new pool of talent, attracting companies to these places. Company host locations are expected to increase 50% by 2020.
* Three main categories of employees will exist by 2020: Baby Boomers, Generation Xers and Millennials. The demands and needs of each group vary widely, which will require organizations to adapt and become more creative with their mobility strategies. A quick summary of these groups in 2020:
Baby Boomers: Many will put off retirement, despite having achieved their career goals, and continue working to ensure financial security through retirement. Traditional expatriate assignment packages will likely continue to be the norm for this group.
Generation Xers: This group will have reached a peak point in their careers, particularly in terms of income, but also want to secure retirement and perhaps fund their children’s education. Higher-profile positions will be most attractive to this generation. In terms of international assignments, some may prefer a traditional path, while others will look for something more flexible, such as short-term or commuter-type assignments, to fit their personal lifestyle and priorities.
Millennials: They see international assignments as vital to personal growth and will likely make up the majority of expatriate employees. They will pursue opportunities abroad if those opportunities are more attractive than what their home country might offer. Personal interests and goals take importance over monetary rewards in choosing assignments, and most millennials seem to believe global assignment in their career is inevitable.
* Because of these changing dynamics, by 2020, very few international assignments and packages will look as most do today.
* Technology will be important for companies to utilize, but it will not ultimately remove the need for people “on the ground.” Businesses that adapt with technology will attract young workers, versus organizations that do not.
* Social media will continue to influence and change work-life boundaries as employees use blogs, social networking sites such as Facebook, and other similar mediums in their everyday lives. As a result, these blurred lines will cause employees’ personal privacy to become an issue. Businesses will need to make clear distinctions to offset this and other potential issues of increased technology usage.
