New global report eases battle in war for talent for multinational employers

Australia
Melbourne, 12 November 2007
Globalisation has inarguably delivered global economic expansion and financial growth for many businesses, but multinational employers remain hindered by changing regulatory and legal requirements in different countries, according to Mercer.
The number of Australian employers either expanding their operations globally, particularly into the Asia Pacific region, or competing in the war for talent by recruiting from a global pool is growing.
Mercer has launched a comprehensive global benefits guide to help multinational employers more effectively assess the changing regulatory and legal requirements from country to country and compare and provide retirement, medical and other group benefits to their employees around the world.
�Assessing the legalities of employing a workforce in some countries can require extensive research and analysis, not to mention the information required to develop a benefits package to compete in acquiring and retaining staff,� said Mercer�s Asia Pacific Retirement Business Leader, Mr Tim Jenkins.
Introduction to Benefit Plans Around the World: A Guide for Multinational Employers provides extensive information on the design and prevalence of retirement, medical, sickness, disability and death benefit plans in 47 countries. This single-source, comprehensive guide also tracks trends in the provision of these programs as well as the current legislative, legal and regulatory climates in each country.
