Guangzhou: if the medical insurance fund receives does not arrive at, the government will provide fiscal subsidies ****

(Dec. 6, 2013, Guangzhou) Guangzhou social health insurance regulations, which has been implemented for 13 years, will be replaced by the new version from January 1, 2014. The move does not mean that the new version only extends the period of payment from 10 years to 15 years.

Pensions postponed: retire at 69 in U.K.****

(Dec. 6, 2013, /CNNMoney/) Under the reforms, which were presented as part of a bi-annual economic update on Thursday, the pension age will be linked to rising life expectancy and reflect the U.K. government's belief that workers should spend no more than a third of their adult life in retirement. The state pension age of 68 will now be enforced in the mid 2030s, about 10 years earlier than planned. And by the late 2040s it will rise to 69. The new regime will give the U.K. one of the highest pension ages in the world by the middle of the century, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. Meanwhile, in the United States and Germany, the retirement limit will hit 67 by 2050, compared to a more generous 65 for workers in Japan and Mexico. Only two other countries -- Italy and Denmark -- are expected to have a normal pension age as high as 69 by then, the OECD said. Many countries are linking pensions to life expectancy as aging populations place increasing burdens on the state and government struggle to bring their borrowing under control. By raising its pension age, the U.K. government said it will save £500 billion over 50 years. The bitter news for young workers was delivered alongside an upbeat assessment of the U.K. economy.First for HR industry news,trends and analysis,

90-day trial employment period criticized in New Zealand****

(Dec. 9, 2013, /skykiwi.com/ )The New Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (BIE) allows employers to make an offer of employment that includes a trial period of up to 90 days. Trial periods are voluntary, and must be agreed in writing and negotiated in good faith as part of the employment agreement. Figures published by the BIE about 69,000 employers took on at least one new staff member in 2012 under the legislation. According to the BIE, an employee who is dismissed before the end of a trial period cannot raise a personal grievance on the grounds of unjustified dismissal. It is not known how many workers were dismissed during the 90-day-trial period, but the figures show that 27% of employers said they had fired at least one new employee during or at the end of their trial. This means at least 18,000 people lost their jobs in the first three months of employment last year, with the actual figure likely to be much higher.When asked why they had dismissed staff, most employers said it was because they were unreliable or had a bad attitude. Other reasons included employees not having the necessary skills, not getting on with colleagues, and not fitting in.

The report said skills shortages are not directly linked to the state of the economy in any individual country, but are more closely aligned to government policy, the efficiency of educational institutions in turning out graduates with the right skills, and how effectively employers train their workers. The situation in Canada and other developed countries will likely get worse as the global economy recovers, said Hays chief executive Alistair Cox, who was visiting Canada this week from the multinational’s headquarters in Britain.

ECA International survey: the projected salary increase amounts to just 1% in real terms in Hong Kong next year***

(Dec. 1, 2013,/HRoot/) Employees in Hong Kong can expect to see their salaries increase by an average of 4.5% in 2014, according to the latest Salary Trends survey by ECA International, the world's leading provider of knowledge, information and technology for the management and assignment of employees around the world. The figure is the same as the uplift local employees received this year, but with inflation of 3.5% forecast for next year, the projected salary increase amounts to just 1% in real terms. Increases are likely to be highest in the banking and insurance industries. Those working in transport and logistics are expected to receive slightly below-average uplifts. Despite the marginal increase expected for Hong Kong, Asia as a whole is the region where employees will see the highest real wage increases. "A wage increase of just 1 per cent after adjusting for inflation means that employees in Hong Kong will receive some of the lowest wage rises in the world next year in real terms," said Lee Quane, regional director – Asia, ECA International. "On a more positive note, this real wage increase is actually higher than the increase recorded in 2012, and roughly the same as the one recorded here for 2013."

Robert Half International: social perceptions impacting on female career advancement in Hongkong***

(Dec. 9, 2013) Society’s perception of women’s role and the lack of work-life balance are holding women back from advancing in their career compared to men, according to a survey from global recruitment firm Robert Half. In the survey, HR directors were asked whether they agreed or disagreed with a list of reasons why female employees were not climbing the career ladder as fast as their male counterparts. At the top of the list were societal perceptions of women’s role, with 43% of respondents agreeing that this was one of the reasons why women were not advancing in their career. When compared, the responses from men and women varied and it became more apparent as 58% of female HR directors said that societal stigma was holding women back. Other perceptions as to why females may not be progressing as fast in their careers as their male counterparts include lack of work life balance (41%), and (more controversially) being overly-emotional in the workplace (37%), and the desire for women to be liked by their peers (35%).

Aon Hewitt survey: new Chinese government regulations give more options on maximizing returns from total rewards***

(Dec. 9, 2013,Shanghai)The government of China announced its new tax incentive on Enterprise Annuity (thereafter referred as 'EA') on 6 December, 2013, the nation's qualified supplemental retirement plan. The new regulation, which reduces the Individual Income Tax (IIT) to a large degree by using a tax deferral mechanism, is expected to be effective on 1st of January, 2014. Aon Hewitt, the global human resources business of Aon plc (NYSE:AON), observes that the new regulations represent the only tax benefit for Chinese employees. Aon Hewitt says that it is time for employers to reconsider their total rewards strategy, especially how they can maximize the total rewards returns to employees. Current implementers of EA: For companies that currently implements the Enterprise Annuity, employees' past contribution, for which the relevant tax has been paid for, will not be taxed again. Based on Aon Hewitt's 2013 Human Capital Intelligence Survey, China's average salary increase is 8.5%, with only 23.2% of the Chinese companies having established a supplemental retirement plan. The new regulations may alleviate the current situation where "cash is the king" in China, and push employers to consider talent attraction and retention from a total rewards perspective. One that includes overall benefits, retirement and taxation.

Salaries are set to increase by +5.2% on average but rises for 2014 are expected to average -0.3 percentage points less than last year’s forecast of +5.5%.Venezuelan workers look set to receive the biggest pay increase of +27%. Yet, with local inflation predicted to reach 36.4% in 2014, employees will actually feel a significant cut in real income.

Ben Frost, consultant at Hay Group, comments: “This year’s global forecast highlights a significant slowdown of pay rises into the new year, as GDP growth in many parts of the world remains subdued. Even where optimistic rises are expected in fast growing markets, high inflation means the economic recovery won’t be felt in the pay packets of employees in many countries.”

KPMG survey: strategies to prioritise talent management in UK**

(Dec. 16, 2013)The latest report by the global network of professional service firms, KPMG, has revealed that many organisations are taking a narrow approach to talent management strategies, with many taking a short term approach. According to Stephen Gilbert, Practice Director at ReThink Talent Management, there are three key steps HR professionals must implement to avoid this and ensure talent management remains relevant to both businesses and individuals: 1)Meet the need: Talent processes can often become overly complicated causing confusion over the role and impact of these strategies. It’s vital that any talent management solutions tackle the real problem senior business managers face: resourcing gaps. 2)Focus on quality not quantity: The fundamental goal of any talent management plan is to ensure the right people are in the right role, at the right time. Highlighting the large number of candidates interviewed or promotions given are irrelevant. 3) Embrace technology: The world is becoming increasingly digital and technology is playing a greater role in the business arena, yet few are using this resource to its potential.

Kelly survey: free agents increasing in China**

(Dec. 27, 2013) Employers will have to rethink their approach to hiring, organisational structure and strategic planning. And workers will have to balance the advantages of greater flexibility and freedom to control their own careers with the removal of the "safety net" provided by a full-time role. Teresa Carroll, general manager of Kelly's outsourcing and consulting group and senior vice-president of its Centers of Excellence, estimates that free agents already account for about 45% of the workforce in the US. In Asia, Carroll notes that "talent supply chain management" is even more challenging. "Aside from the war for talent, the regulations and the costs, there's a unique psychographic in Asia," she says. "In this region, full-time employees are now free agents - loyalty is pretty much dead."Carroll sees a bright Asian future for recruitment process outsourcing and management service provision, which are now entrenched in the West. "The challenge for organizations is to pull together all the talent sources. Another trend that could take root in Asia is "online staffing", where internet-based firms "collate" all freelancers and offer their services to subscribers.

Consolidation in the industry is on an upswing as companies position themselves to capitalize on a predicted increase in demand in 2014 and beyond. AMN Healthcare Services Inc. (NYSE: AHS), the largest U.S. healthcare staffing firm with $912 million in 2012 U.S. healthcare staffing revenue and 10 percent market share, purchased healthcare vendor management system (VMS) ShiftWise in November. AMN was quick to specify that the newly acquired business would continue to operate independently with no change in its leadership team, and would remain a vendor neutral VMS.“This strategic acquisition is an investment in addressing the diverse needs of our clients by providing a unique vendor neutral technology option as well as other workforce technology solutions that will instantly expand our capabilities,” AMN President and CEO Susan Salka said in a press release at the time.
