Paragon Relocation held the first in a new series of European webinars designed to provide information to Paragon’s European clients on global mobility issues that affect HR professionals. Held on the 19th November, the “European Mobility Policy and Practices” webinar was presented by Mr. Carlos Mestre, head of Mercer's Global Mobility Business Unit, based in Geneva, Switzerland. The webinar focused on obtaining a quantitative appreciation of what a relocation policy means to the transfreering employee, outlining the varying perspectives of employee’s expectations. Throughout the webinar, Mr. Mercer shared the results of a recent benchmarking project conducted on behalf of a group of major European and North American firms. The results highlighted the weakness of traditional benchmarking in a fast changing economic environment. "The European team at Paragon Relocation is pleased to provide HR professionals in the region with mobility strategies and advice that will help them enhance their relocation policies,” noted Ms. Carol Nichols, Director of Learning Resources at Paragon Relocation. “Because more HR professionals are seeking information and knowledge regarding mobility practices, Paragon is looking forward to hosting more webinars throughout 2009." On 3 December, Joseph Benevides, Executive Vice President of Paragon Global Resources, gave an informative view of the current state of the relocation industry in his presentation “The State of the Relocation Union: Relocation Today.” Benevides is the 2008 President of the Employee Relocation Council. Then, on 10 December Dean Foster, President of Dean Foster Associates, presented “Bargaining Across Borders" in which he discussed how to be a successful negotiator in any foreign culture and how specific cultural differences impact business. Mr. Foster has over 20 years of experience in the development of intercultural training.
