The questionnaire for the 13th annual survey is now online at http://www.gmacgrsresearch.com/grts5.html and takes about 30 minutes to complete. All participants will receive a complimentary copy of the survey results.
Each year, the survey paints a comprehensive picture of evolving trends and emerging issues facing companies of all sizes that rely on an international workforce. Results from this year's research appeared in such prestigious publications as Time Magazine, The Wall Street Journal and The International Herald Tribune, to name a few. The Global Relocation Trends Survey is regarded as one of the most reliable and respected sources of global mobility data and trends. The survey's longevity and deep reservoir of data enable GMAC Global Relocation Services to compare each year's results with "historical averages," which help gauge the relative importance of annual variations.
"The global relocation services industry is so large and so fluid, and trends among companies with expatriate workforces are shifting constantly, and that's why this survey is such an invaluable tool," said Rick Schwartz, president and CEO of GMAC Global Relocation Services. "It provides relocation resource managers a rare, in-depth look at emerging trends, including top concerns among employees facing an overseas assignment, which countries are the most challenging for expatriate workforces, and historical shifts in men versus women expatriates."
Schwartz said the company is putting out a worldwide call to companies to participate in the survey so that "we can dig deeper than ever into the key trends that are shaping, and reshaping, our dynamic industry."
Companies are asked to complete and submit their surveys by December 12, 2007.
In addition to the annual Global Relocation Trends Survey, GMAC Global Relocation Services conducts additional global research and makes it available at http://www.gmacglobalrelocation.com/insight_support/global_relocation.asp. This year's findings focused on the energy, finance and information technology sectors with supplementary reports published for each sector.
