The British international banking group HSBC has identified the countries preferred by expatriate workers, which allow them to access an increase in the standard of living. At the top of the list, Switzerland, which offers some of the highest salaries in the world and highly regulated working hours. Saudi Arabia takes second place for its high untaxed salaries, its low cost of living which allows you to live lavishly and the many advantages offered to expatriates: paid housing, education allowances, travel, health insurance. The United Arab Emirates, in third place, offers average salaries between $190,000 and $200,000 tax-free. Bahrain ranks fourth because the island nation is a good place for start-ups, while Hong Kong ranks fifth for advancement, salaries, excellent quality of life and safe environment to raise its children.
When it comes to the “great resignation” in Quebec and Canada, there is no consensus. As for our neighbors to the south, some argue that it is a thing of the past. However, new findings from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics show that it may not be over. According to recent data, there are still 9.8 million job openings while the number of hires has increased from 6.2 million to 5.9 million. Departures rose to 4 million, while layoffs were little changed at 1.6 million.
Australian governments spend a lot of money to help young people with disabilities find jobs. However, the success of these programs has been modest, reveals a study published in The Conversation, a news and analysis media written by researchers and academics. Employment rates for youth with disabilities have remained low over the past two decades, despite considerable investment in employment services and programs. While 80% of non-disabled Australian adults were employed, only 48% of disabled people were working. A disappointing finding, because young disabled people in employment also have better mental health. Unfortunately, current efforts to stimulate their participation in the labor market do not focus on the environments that could help them: accessible building, flexible work and positive attitude of colleagues.
By now, society might assume that women have finally earned the right to be themselves at work. However, this is not the case for those who work in male-dominated fields such as technology. To progress, many feel obliged to conform to gender stereotypes and more than 50% of women in management positions decide to leave this sector mid-career, reports the American magazine Fortune. Nine female senior executives from six Fortune 500 technology companies told Samantha Dewalt, CEO of Lehigh@NasdaqCenter, that developing their authenticity took practice, patience, and perseverance. These women have relied in particular on emotional intelligence to understand themselves and their audience in order to adapt their communications. Conclusion: True authenticity is about accepting both a “professional self” and a “personal self” and recognizing that these identities can co-exist.
