global developments “ Exciting across our media ”

W

ith the conference season upon us we thought this was a good opportunity to share with our readers across print, digital and website the exciting global developments across our media.

We know how difficult it is to keep up with trends, manage global teams and address the challenges of a busy job. We hope the developments we have made across the Re:locate media will enable you to keep ahead and enjoy being part of the fast paced world of global mobility.

Our website has a sophisticated new design with clearer layout, easier navigation, and increased social interactivity.

Through this exciting new global resource already reaching 145 countries, and a range of digital innovations coming on stream, we’ll help organisations of all sizes to manage and retain talent successfully in any location, across every stage – from starting up in a new location, to planning and preparing for the relocation, to managing the assignment.

We’ll continue to cover the full range of mobility issues, hard and soft, in one place, and there’ll be plenty to interest not only HR professionals but also CEOs, project managers and financial leaders involved in growing their businesses overseas, particularly in emerging markets, complex jurisdictions and relocation hotspots.

Please keep in touch and share with us what is happening in your region of the world. Let us know what industry sectors you would like us to cover, what challenges you face and your burning issues.

EDUCATION

ENABLING THE NEXT GENERATION OF GLOBAL LEADERS?

INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION

There is no denying that today’s graduates and school-leavers are entering a truly global jobs market.

Expectations of graduates are higher than ever before, and the skills that are demanded of new recruits are evolving fast to compete in this ‘boundary-less’ business world. Rebecca Marriage looks at how international schools around the world are preparing the next generation of global citizens for the challenges that lie ahead.

W

hile children of parents making an international move might find the upheaval and change of school unsettling, experts suggest that the internationalmindedness and cultural agility that naturally follow a successful international relocation could help to equip them with the skills required to succeed in a global business world.

“I think we’re starting to see a particular generation where they think of themselves as, quite literally, world citizens,” a spokesperson from Prudential said in the report Global Graduates into Global Leaders by the Council for Industry and Higher Education. “I don’t mean conceptually.

I mean they see the world as boundary-less: that they are able to move, shift, work anywhere, and do anything.”

One of the most popular options for families when relocating with children is to find a place in an international school teaching either the curriculum of their home country or an international curriculum such as the International Baccalaureate (IB), owing to the ease of transition and international transferability of the learning programmes on offer.

Speaking at this year’s Council of British International Schools (COBIS) annual conference, Mick Waters, professor of education at the University of Wolverhampton, spoke about his belief that international schools had the right skills and philosophy to help develop true global citizens. “Across

the globe, international schools deliver that ‘rounded’ school experience,” he said. “They are really good at the things that are often left out of state schools across the world – how you use contacts, network, develop the etiquette to take you across new thresholds and help you cope with new experiences.”

Chancellor of Dwight School New York City Stephen Spahn has also observed how the IB provides international students with a greater understanding of the world around them, enabling them to live and work in a rapidly globalising marketplace.

“The IB measures students around the world against the same universal benchmarks, and inspires them to become well-rounded, culturally agile, respectful, and internationally minded citizens of the world.”

What international schools have in common is the ability to expose students to different cultures, promoting the international understanding that is becoming a requirement of the evolving global jobs market.

As Mr Spahn says of the families that pass though the doors of his New York international school, “Dwight families have for some time understood – and embraced – the concept of preparing their children to be internationally minded and equipped with a rich skillset that will enable them to be successful in the global marketplace. IB graduates are well-prepared to succeed as global leaders.”

Immigration

400 ARRESTS IN MOSCOW RACE RIOT Concerns about immigration are dominating headlines in several European capitals, in the week in which Italy announced that it would hold state funerals for the victims of the Lampedusa shipwreck, says Ray Furlong, who presents The Newsroom on the BBC World Service, and has reported extensively from Russia and Eastern Europe.

T

here was a heightened police presence in a south Moscow suburb on Monday following a night of rioting that led to around 400 arrests.

The riots began on Sunday afternoon as a peaceful demonstration calling for justice following the killing of a local man on 10 October, which has been widely blamed on an immigrant from the Caucasus although nobody has been apprehended.

Thousands of people took to the streets, but as night fell the protest turned violent – with groups of shavenhaired nationalists attacking a marketplace where many immigrants from the Caucasus and Central Asia have stalls.

Some protesters used steel rubbish-bins to make barricades. But OMON special forces, in black riot helmets and body armour, restored order. Eight people, including two policemen, are in hospital.

This was Moscow’s worst race riot since 2010, when Caucasian immigrants were beaten up by skinheads in the very centre of town, as thousands protested outside

the Kremlin following the killing of a Spartak Moscow football fan.

There are around ten million migrants in Russia, while in Moscow it’s estimated there are several hundred thousand illegal migrants from Central Asia and the Caucasus. During the capital’s mayoral election in September, nearly every candidate promised to reduce migrant numbers.

The Russian President, Vladimir Putin, has taken a more nuanced position. He said earlier this month that Russia’s construction industry needs migrant labour – but that numbers of immigrants could be reduced in other sectors such as small traders.

In the summer, OMON forces carried out a series of raids on markets across the country and arrested hundreds of allegedly illegal migrants.

In the Autumn 2013 issue of Re:locate magazine, Ray Furlong examines the challenges and rewards for global organisations doing business in Russia.

HOT TOPIC

BUILDING FORTRESS EUROPE?

T

he German Interior Minister, Hans-Peter Friedrich, warned that freedom of movement within the EU was being abused. German media reported that social benefits claims from Bulgarians and Romanians had risen dramatically over the last year in several cities: 38 per cent in Berlin, 60 per cent in Munich.

‘Freedom of movement only gives people the right to come here to study, work and pay taxes. It does not mean the freedom to change country for higher benefits,’ said Mr Friedrich.

The comments were an echo of debate in the UK, ahead of transitional restrictions on the freedom of movement of Bulgarians and Romanians being lifted in 2014.

Similar sentiments were voiced by a former French interior minister, Laurent Wauquiez, who said: ‘I think the Schengen area is not working, and one needs to seriously consider leaving it.’ The comments were made shortly after an opinion poll showing the National Front as the strongest single party for the first time ever.

The British government announced a mixture of new policies on migrants, such as making landlords check tenants’ immigration status and foreign students contribute towards the National Health Service.

But at a meeting of EU interior ministers in Brussels this week, all these issues were put in the shade by the

Lampedusa tragedy - in which at least 311 people were killed after the boat taking them to Italy sank.

The pattern here is that there are two separate issues which are often conflated, but which seem to require opposite responses.

On the one hand, many European politicians have voiced anger or concerns about migration within the EU by citizens of member states – and are calling for EU-wide regulation to pass back into the hands of national governments.

On the other, there are the growing calls for member states to work together to deal with illegal migrants and asylum seekers from outside the EU. On the first point, no progress has really been made beyond the rhetoric. On the second, there has been action.

The European Parliament voted yesterday to launch an EU maritime surveillance system, to prevent further disasters like Lampedusa. And on Wednesday the European Commission approved 30 million euros of aid to Italy to help it cope with the refugee influx.

No one has responded to Italian calls for refugees to be spread around the EU, however, rather than the first country they pitch up in. On the other hand, countries like Sweden, Germany and Austria can point out that they are already accepting far more asylum claims per head of population than ‘point-of-entry’ countries like Italy and Greece.

Those responsible for relocating employees to, or within, Europe will be hoping that any tightening of immigration regulations does not adversely affect their organisations’ ability to move key personnel as business needs dictate. relocateglobal.com | 5

Re:locate

THE GLOBAL PICTURE

We are thrilled to share with readers the benefits of our website’s exciting global growth.

W

ith our improved website and a range of digital innovations coming on stream, we can help organisations of all sizes to manage and retain talent successfully in any location, across every stage – from starting up in a new location, to planning and preparing for the relocation, to managing the assignment.

Says Re:locate’s managing editor, Fiona Murchie, “Part of our success and popularity, both in the magazine and on the website, is covering the full range of mobility issues in one place. It is important to our readers and site users that we cover not only the ‘hard’ issues around policy, strategy and compliance but also the ‘soft’ ones which HR and relocation professionals must understand if they are to manage relocating employees and their families successfully, such as property, schools, finance and health.

8 | Re:locate GLOBAL

Our international reputation has enabled us to attract a growing team of talented foreign correspondents, journalists, writers and experts in a range of specialisms (see p14). You will be able to track their comments and views by subject and by country. And there will be plenty of interest for not only HR professionals but also CEOs, project managers and financial leaders involved in growing their businesses overseas, particularly in emerging markets, complex jurisdictions and relocation hotspots.

NEW WEBSITE

Enhanced country sections will feature political, economic, cultural and lifestyle background on global relocation destinations, and there will be improved delivery of news, practical advice, expert knowledge, and features and articles delivering thought leadership.

“Our ultimate vision,” says Fiona Murchie, “is to be the leading source globally of market intelligence, tracking global movement and growth across our media.”

We hope you will find the new site clearer in layout, easier to navigate, and faster to load, with more social interactivity. Improved functionality makes it easier for sponsors and advertisers to recall statistics, measure ROI, capture data, and conduct surveys.

The new website offers: • Improved delivery of news, practical advice, in-depth features and expert knowledge • Enhanced country sections featuring political, economic, cultural and lifestyle background on global relocation destinations • The latest management and leadership thinking from around the world • Support for your professional development, and to enable HR to be increasingly strategic •C utting-edge tools and technology • Webinars, podcasts and video films • Communities to connect those managing globally mobile people and those setting up operations in countries new to them with experts, suppliers and commentators around the world, for exchange of ideas and benchmarking • A comprehensive directory of quality suppliers, accessible via mobile devices
