Editor's Notes
- #3Â Have seen 3 changes of government in my career and have guided companies through those impacts from a practical point of view. Studies in HR kept expanding and did an additional 1.5 years because IR was changing and the concept of HR value was starting to change from a âpersonnelâ perspective to an more strategic approach. Although I have not carved out a specialisation in IR (I am a true generalist) I quite enjoyed the âdryâ subjects of IR in gaining my qualifications because my Uni lecturer was absolutely passionate about IR and was extremely knowledgeable. So I am looking forward to this morning and learning and sharing with you this topic.

- #6Â GLOBALISATION â THE TRAINING WHEELS ARE COMING OFF. Over the last 10 years we have been getting used to how globalisation can impact our business community. We are now realising how we can really leverage every area of life through globalisation. From ability to communicate and work across time zones, service customer s 24x7, Catch cry has become âAnything, anytime, anywhereâ...no wonder Gen Yâs have great expectations...we set them up for it...but more on that later! survey has revealed Australian workers are prepared to go to almost any lengths to get the right job. According to the survey, by global recruitment firm Kelly Services, almost three in four Australian workers say they would be prepared to relocate to a different city to find work â and more than half would be willing to move overseas. The survey also found that many Australian workers are willing to devote long periods travelling to and from work, with 14% prepared to spend at least two hours a day commuting. The global survey sought the views of 115,000 people in 33 countries, including almost 19,000 in Australia, about their patterns of travel to and from work, their capacity to move to find the right job and the main factors preventing them from relocating. High degree of mobility Kelly Services country manager James Bowmer said the survey reveals a high degree of mobility in the workforce, with many people very comfortable with the idea of moving considerable distances for the right job. âWith a more globalised workforce, there is increasingly a recognition that people may have to relocate to find the right work or to advance their career,â Bowmer said. âThere are many skills that are easily transferable across borders including in areas such as banking and finance, IT, science and engineering.â Key findings Key findings of the survey showed: 71% of people would consider relocating to a different city for work 55% would consider relocating to a different country for work 40% would consider relocating to a country where they didnât fluently speak the local language 14% of people say they are prepared to spend two hours or more each day commuting to and from work 60% of people say they would like to stay living and working where they currently live until they retire. â For many workers, the chance to move to a different city or country can be a rewarding professional experience as well as a good lifestyle choice,â Bowmer said. âEmployees, in general, have become much more mobile and willing to be flexible in both their travel and living arrangements to find the right job.' The survey found those workers most likely to move were aged up to 34 years. Typically, they have fewer family and other commitments that prevent them from relocating. Males were more willing to relocate than females. Family issues When asked to rank the main complicating factors in moving to another country for work, the overwhelming issue was âfamilyâ (cited by 61% of respondents), followed by âlanguage barriersâ (39%), âchildrenâs schoolingâ (21%), âproperty ownershipâ (16%), âtax complicationsâ (11%), and âpension/superannuation rightsâ (9%). Bowmer said the finding that many workers are willing to be highly mobile in their search for work is good news for employers. âAt a time of relative skills shortages, globally, targeting employees from another city or internationally can be one of the most effective ways of filling gaps in the labour market,â he said. Move away The survey also found that Australians are also likely to be mobile in ways not related to work. It found 40% of people say that, before they retire, they would like to move away from the place where they currently live and work. Females are keener to move than males. âThis suggests that significant numbers of people will be actively looking to change their jobs, homes and lifestyles, with implications for employment, urban planning and transport infrastructure,â Bowmer said. Travelling times to and from work are a key consideration for employees and the vast majority (61%) are not willing to spend more than 45 minutes, each way, commuting. However 25% are willing to spend 45â60 minutes and 14% are willing to spend 60 minutes or more each way. Females are much less tolerant of longer travelling times than males. Q: DO YOU THINK WE WOULD HAVE REACHED THE LEVEL OF GLOBALISATION THAT WE HAVE WITHOUT THE INTERNET?

- #8Â SPEED â Speed & IP are what sets us apart as a generation from our grandparents and generations before. We have been able to advance and achieve due to our ability to increase speed and our knowledge and to put a price and value on it. My grandmother at my age could not have dreamed that it would be possible to travel across the world within 24 hours by air, with 200 other passengers, watching a colour movie, with Special Effects, with a glass of champagne!!!! â but speed and Intellectual Property enabled this to become a reality today. Great news is that our software development approaches mean that we can get ever more done than ever before, completing projects in a third of the time than previously. What does that do? It actually drives up demand enormously through companies choosing to take on more projects. We live in a society where speed and knowledge are highly valued and has created heightened expectation in performance, productivity & choice. Examples of where Combined they can be advantageous: Medical Science â Save lives Create more money â time is money! Internet a simple example â increase knowledge faster More examples?.... Q: Can anyone give examples where combined they can be powerfully dangerous? drugs & trafficking Let me give you a real scary one.........the speed at which your employees can find a job opening and leave you with your IP â powerfully dangerous!
