Learn more about the trends and key changes in international assignments, as well as quality and cost of living - post economic downturn.
In 2009, companies were under tremendous pressure to manage international assignment costs. As a result, organizations introduced a number of key changes to overall international assignment policy. Is the same trend continued post economic downturn, or are companies easing back on cost containment efforts? What changes are taking place? Which cities are cost-prohibitive or livable for expatriates ¡V which impact companies' decision on assignment location?
Ms. Cathy Loose, Principal and Asia Pacific Global Mobility Leader at Mercer, will present the highlights from Mercer¡¦s 2010 International Assignment survey.
