WHR Global Releases Ask an Expert 2023 Allowances & Per Diems Benchmark Report

WHR Global Shapes Clients’ Policies to Ensure Benefits Offerings Are Competitive in the Market

MILWAUKEE, July 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHR Global (WHR), a leader in the global employee relocation industry, announced the release of its international 2023 Allowances & Per Diems Benchmark Report called “Ask an Expert!”

At WHR, our mission is to provide clients with superior relocation services, and to do so, we need to be in tune with the global cost of living. To accomplish this, we created the Ask an Expert 2023 Allowances & Per Diems Benchmark Report, a comprehensive guide to understanding the true cost of living, not just in one city, but in many cities worldwide.

“Drawing from my own personal experience as a former expat residing in Switzerland, and a former relocation coordinator, I bring a deep understanding of the challenges and intricacies of international relocation,” said Sean Thrun, Strategic Initiatives Manager at WHR. “This benchmark report and firsthand knowledge equips WHR with the ability to provide valuable insights and guidance to mobility teams, enabling them to navigate the complexities of global assignments more effectively.”

The Report includes 8.8 million price submissions from 11,000 cities, and prices benchmarked by country include rental prices for 1 & 3 bedrooms both inside and outside of city centers, common utilities costs per month, local transportation, and more. Understanding the ground realities of cost of living helps relocation teams create scalable solutions and helps businesses have more productive moves, making the transition for employees smoother than ever.

The Report allows businesses to “check the pulse” of their allowances and per diems, whether they choose to administer fixed amounts globally, or variable by location. If global mobility teams find that the allowances and per diems offered to their employees are lower than the average for that country, contact WHR today for a free consultation, including a breakdown of the benchmark report by city.

Global mobility teams may use this Report, which covers 99 countries, to benchmark the following:

  • Monthly housing allowances for assignments & commuters,
  • Monthly utilities allowances for assignments & commuters,
  • Monthly transportation allowances for assignments & commuters,
  • Transportation per diems for preview and home finding trips, and
  • Meal per diems for preview and home finding trips.

Whether you are a relocation manager or a business leader, investing in the Ask an Expert 2023 Allowances & Per Diems Benchmark Report today can help you make the most informed decisions for your relocation budget and employee benefits policies.

Projectiles strike Sudan, igniting concerns of a full-scale civil war

At least five civilians were killed in western Sudan over the weekend, a doctors association said.

“Five people were killed and 17 others were seriously injured, as a result of projectiles hitting the Ombada Al-Sabil neighborhood,” the Ombada Committees said on Monday.

The number of casualties may increase as many people are trapped under the rubble, the group based in Omdurman city said.

There was no comment from the Sudanese army or the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) regarding the incident.

Sudan has been ravaged by clashes between the army and the RSF since April, in a conflict that has killed some 3,000 civilians and injured thousands, according to local medics.

Several cease-fire agreements brokered by Saudi and US mediators between the warring rivals have failed to end the violence.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimates that nearly 3 million people have been displaced by the conflict in Sudan.

Last week, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that the ongoing conflict in Sudan may lead to a full-scale civil war.

Dead Sea dermatology resort project listed on Invest.jo

The Ministry of Investment has offered an investment opportunity on Invest.jo to establish a dermatology medical resort at the Dead Sea Development Zone. The platform projects that the project will have 50 rooms, 75 beds, and 10 specialized medical clinics. It is expected to require an investment of $4.8 million and has an anticipated internal rate of return between 17% and 24%, creating 60 job opportunities. The resort targets patients suffering from dermatological conditions like psoriasis and eczema, respiratory illnesses, high blood pressure, joint issues and conditions, and rheumatism. The platform identified the project’s success factors, including the resort’s location and scenic view. These factors are expected to attract investors in the healthcare sector, increase the number of foreign tourists visiting the Kingdom, and promote the concept of medical tourism in Jordan The Dead Sea is famous for its salts and mineral-saturated black mud, which contain 26 important elements for the human body, such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, bromine, sulfate, lithium, strontium, iodine, iron, selenium, chrome, and zinc. Water, air, soil, and sun at the Dead Sea offer natural treatment of dermatological conditions. Sunshine at the lowest point on Earth is less harmful than in other places. The Dead Sea’s position and the steam blanket that rises over it cause a high evaporation rate, which helps reduce ultraviolet (UV) rays as well as UVB rays that cause sunburn. The Dead Sea region is rich in oxygen: 10% more than at the Mediterranean level. In addition to that, pollutant factors are very low, resulting in clean air that has proven to be of great benefit to those who suffer from respiratory illnesses.
