2013 Worldwide ERC Global Workforce Summit | Cartus in Shanghai

March 27, 2013 – 4:00 pm

More than 700 relocation professionals gathered in Shanghai last week to attend Worldwide ERC’s Global Workforce Summit. The two-day event highlighted key mobility trends in Asia and covered a variety of current topics on relocation, talent management, immigration, tax and social security compliance, and safety/security. 

Instant polling conducted by ERC highlighted three key mobility challenges in the region: controlling costs (39%); complying with emigration and employment regulations (28%); and finding suitable candidates to move (22%). These findings concur with Cartus’ latest Trends in Global Relocation: Biggest Challenges survey, which was featured as a key resource for delegates at the Summit.
