Perspectives on China: The Evolution of the Relocation Market

Posted by: Candy Lu, Client Services Manager, China

Global companies are sending Chinese nationals on international assignments out of China in increasing numbers. The opportunities and challenges when moving these employees can be substantial and are evolving. We recently conducted a short pulse survey to solicit feedback from organizations that relocate Chinese nationals out of China on the unique priorities and challenges they are facing. The survey report provides a better understanding of the dynamics of moving employees out of China.

Download our pulse survey report, Perspectives on China: The Evolution of the Relocation Market, to find out how your industry peers are managing moves out of China. The key findings of the pulse survey report answer questions including:

• Are the trends in assignment types for moves out of China supporting the overall global trend of an increase in shorter-term assignments?
• What are the main challenges facing both organizations and outbound Chinese nationals ?
• How are companies encouraging employees to stay with their organization upon repatriation?
• What are the most common benefits offered to outbound Chinese nationals?
