WHR Global Releases “Ask the Expert” 2023 Destination Services Benchmark Report

MILWAUKEE, April 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHR Global (WHR), a leader in the global employee relocation industry, announced the release of its international 2023 Destination Services Benchmark Report called "Ask the Expert." WHR surveyed 32 companies from its trusted destination services provider network, covering 56 countries worldwide. WHR believes its Benchmark report will help current and future clients compare their global mobility programs to other companies' destination service offerings for relocating employees and assignees. As companies continue to compete for talent, relocation benefits must be competitive.

Destination services help relocating employees get settled in their new location and can include the following: Area Orientation; Local Registration; Tenancy Management, Lease Check Out and Property Management; Home Search; Mortgage Counseling; Temporary Housing; Spousal and Partner Career Assistance; Help with Immigration (Visa and Immigration Regulations); School Search for Children; Moving Pets; Language and Cultural Training; and Other Settling–In Services.

WHR's Benchmark data includes the following for 56 countries:

  • The average number of days companies offer destination services and days recommended, by country (by entry–level, mid–level and executive–level employees; and by varying family sizes).
  • The most common leasing arrangement for expats, by country.
  • Destination services presenting the most difficulty, by country.
  • Departure services offered for employees leaving a location, by country.
  • Ease or difficulty getting security deposits back and timeline, by country.
  • Additional recommended destination services, by country.

According to WHR Strategic Initiatives Manager, Sean Thrun, "Benchmarking destination services helps answer key questions that are critical to employee engagement and retention: Am I offering my employees enough support? Should we provide departure services, or are employees capable of handling on their own? What should my employees be aware of when they move to this country? If your employees are highly specialized and difficult to replace, this Benchmark will guide the service level you provide, and help your employees relocate eyes wide open.”

Findings from the comprehensive Benchmark include:

  • In Germany, a security deposit can take up to 11 months to be returned because the tenant must wait until the end of the year for utility company calculations.
  • In the Philippines, a destination service provider recommended at least two days support for entry–level employees (with family sizes of one) and five days of support for executive–level employees (with family sizes of three).

WHR Global veröffentlicht den 2023 Destination Services Benchmark Report „Ask the Expert“

MILWAUKEE, April 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHR Global (WHR), ein fhrendes Unternehmen auf dem Gebiet der globalen Mitarbeiterentsendung, gab die Verffentlichung seines internationalen 2023 Destination Services Benchmark Report mit dem Namen "Ask the Expert" bekannt. WHR befragte 32 Unternehmen aus ihrem Netzwerk vertrauenswrdiger Anbieter von Bestimmungsorten, die weltweit 56 Lnder abdecken. WHR ist der Ansicht, dass der Benchmarkbericht aktuellen und zuknftigen Kunden dabei helfen wird, ihre globalen Mobilittsprogramme mit den Angeboten von Bestimmungsorten anderer Unternehmen zu vergleichen, die Mitarbeiter und Bevollmchtigte entsenden. Da die Unternehmen weiterhin um Talente konkurrieren, mssen die Entsendungsleistungen wettbewerbsfhig sein.

Die Dienstleistungen am Zielort helfen entsandten Mitarbeitern bei der Eingewhnung an ihrem neuen Standort und umfassen u. a. Folgendes: Orientierung in der Region, Anmeldung vor Ort, Mietvertrge, Mietvertragsablauf und Hausverwaltung, Wohnungssuche, Hypothekenberatung, vorbergehende Unterbringung, Untersttzung von Ehegatt*innen und Partner*innen bei der beruflichen Orientierung, Hilfe bei der Einwanderung (Visa und Einwanderungsbestimmungen), Schulsuche fr Kinder, Einfuhr von Haustieren, Sprach– und Kulturtraining sowie andere Eingliederungsdienste.

Die Benchmarkdaten von WHR beziehen sich fr die 56 Lnder auf Folgendes:

  • Die durchschnittliche Anzahl der Tage, an denen Unternehmen Dienstleistungen am Zielort anbieten, und die Anzahl der empfohlenen Tage, aufgeschlsselt nach Lndern (nach Berufseinsteigern, mittleren und leitenden Angestellten sowie nach unterschiedlichen Familiengren).
  • Die gngigsten Mietvereinbarungen fr Expats, aufgeschlsselt nach Land.
  • Dienstleistungen am Zielort mit den grten Schwierigkeiten, aufgeschlsselt nach Land.
  • Ausreisedienste fr Mitarbeiter, die einen Standort verlassen, nach Land.
  • Leichtigkeit bzw. Schwierigkeit, Kautionen zurckzuerhalten, und Zeitplan, nach Land.
  • Zustzliche empfohlene Dienstleistungen am Zielort, nach Land.

Sean Thrun, WHR Strategic Initiatives Manager, meinte dazu: "Das Benchmarking von Dienstleistungen am Zielort hilft bei der Beantwortung wichtiger Fragen, die fr das Engagement und die Bindung von Mitarbeitern entscheidend sind: Biete ich meinen Mitarbeitern gengend Untersttzung? Sollen wir Entsendungsdienste anbieten oder sind die Mitarbeiter in der Lage, dies selbst zu tun? Worauf sollten meine Mitarbeiter achten, wenn sie in dieses Land ziehen? Wenn Ihre Mitarbeiter hochspezialisiert und schwer ersetzbar sind, kann Sie diese Benchmark ber das Level an Dienstleistungen anleiten, das Sie anbieten knnen, um Ihren Mitarbeitern zu helfen, die Entsendung mit offenen Augen anzugehen."

Zu den Ergebnissen des umfassenden Benchmarkberichts gehren:

  • In Deutschland kann es bis zu 11 Monate dauern, bis eine Kaution zurckgezahlt wird, weil der Mieter bis zum Jahresende auf die Abrechnungen der Versorger warten muss.
  • Auf den Philippinen empfahl ein Anbieter von Dienstleistungen am Zielort mindestens zwei Tage Untersttzung fr Mitarbeiter der Einstiegsstufe (fr eine Person) und fnf Tage Untersttzung fr Mitarbeiter der Fhrungsebene (fr dreikpfige Familien).

New Down Syndrome Resource Available in Spanish and Japanese

DENVER, Dec. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Global Down Syndrome Foundation (GLOBAL), published a Spanish and Japanese version of the GLOBAL Medical Care Guidelines for Adults with Down Syndrome ("GLOBAL Adult Guideline") in collaboration with the El Centro de la Universidad Catlica de Sndrome de Down in Chile (Centro UC Sndrome de Down or CUSD) and the Japan Down Syndrome Association (JDSA).

The GLOBAL Adult Guideline is the first evidence–based guideline for adults with Down syndrome and was published in English in JAMA, the Journal of American Medical Association, in 2020. The guideline authors include the directors of the largest adult Down syndrome clinics in the US, and the current nine medical topics are: behavior, dementia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, osteoporosis, atlantoaxial instability, thyroid disease, and celiac disease. GLOBAL is working to expand the topics to include sleep apnea, solid tumors, leukemia, vision/eye care, and physical therapy and fitness.

In addition to the 80–page guideline for medical professionals, GLOBAL has also published a much shorter family–friendly version, and toolkits that include easy to follow assessments for Celiac disease, Diabetes, Behavior, and annual check–ups.

All of these resources for adults are now available in Spanish and Japanese at no cost on the GLOBAL website, DS–Connect : The Down Syndrome Registry, CUSD website, and JDSA website.

"GLOBAL is pleased to be able to reach Spanish and Japanese speakers who have Down syndrome and their families in the U.S. in collaboration from the National Institutes of Health/DS–Connect ," says Michelle Sie Whitten, President & CEO of the Global Down Syndrome Foundation. "The NIH's Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development has been supportive from the beginning. We are also deeply grateful for Dr. Macarena Lizama at CUSD and Dr. Hiroshi Tamai, President of JDSA, Dr. Chisen Takeuchi of the JDSA for helping to ensure this reaches hundreds of thousands of Spanish and Japanese speakers around the world."

GLOBAL has worked with Congress since 2006 advocating for a trans–NIH Down syndrome research funding program and for increased funding. In December of 2010, GLOBAL and the NIH co–organized the first Down syndrome research conference with a focus on registries and biobanks. One important result was the establishment of DS–Connect : The Down Syndrome Registry.

"It is so important for me and other people with Down syndrome to have this in Spanish," says Yadiro Carrillo, a 32–year–old self–advocate and entrepreneur who happens to have Down syndrome. "I need to know how to take care of myself as an adult!"

"Seeing the guideline in Spanish feels like GLOBAL values Spanish –speaking families like mine," said Yadira Carrillo, mother of a 32–year–old daughter who has Down syndrome. "Language is a barrier some families face to receiving medical care and I know this will help so many people in the U.S. and internationally." In Chile, GLOBAL has been working closely with Dr. Lizama on many projects including creating the Spanish version of the GLOBAL Guideline and the COVID–19 and Down Syndrome Resource.

"What Michelle, Bryn Gelaro and their team have accomplished in research and medical care is so important," says Dr. Macarena Lizama, Medical Director of the El Centro de la Universidad Catlica de Sndrome de Down in Chile. "We are honored to collaborate with GLOBAL on this transformative resource and to improve medical equity, especially for Spanish–speaking countries where medical care access and basic resources for people with Down syndrome can be very scarce. I will be very proud to use this resource in my clinic and share it with my colleagues and families."

Dr. Hiroshi Tamai echoes this sentiment, "We are grateful for the collaboration we have had with GLOBAL and to have this important resource in Japanese is a dream come true. My daughter and thousands of Japanese adults with Down syndrome will surely benefit. We look forward to working with GLOBAL and adding new medical areas in the next few years."

GLOBAL is currently working with the Ministries of Health in both Chile and Japan to ensure the guidelines are available free of charge and easily findable on their disability home pages.
