GMAC Global Relocation Services To Host Second Webinar on Global Relocation Trends Survey on May 22

Oak Brook, Ill., May 10, 2006 - GMAC Global Relocation Services announced today that as a result of increased demand from corporations, it has added a second Webinar to analyze the wide-ranging findings of its annual Global Relocation Trends Survey.

The encore Webinar presentation will take place Monday, May 22 at 10 a.m. (Central Time) and is being presented as a result of the high number corporations participating in its first Global Relocation Trends Survey Webinar in March. Serving as host will be GMAC Global Relocation Services' Senior Vice President Eric Stern, who has been instrumental in the comprehensive survey since its inception in 1993. Participants will receive a printed copy of the full 2005 survey document.

"Corporations are increasingly looking for ways to stay on top of leading global relocation trends and this is the precise forum for them to do so," said Stern, alluding to the fact that GMAC Global Relocation Services has produced the definitive research survey on global relocation trends for the past 11 years.

The hour-long event will provide a comparative analysis highlighting the key global mobility issues facing today's business world. Among the topics and findings to be discussed from the 2005 survey report:

• Expatriate population trends
• Challenging destinations (among them the United States, which once again ranked in the top three most-challenging countries for expatriate employees)
• How family issues affect employees' attitudes toward and decisions about relocating
• Expatriate attrition rates, which are more than double those among the general employee population
• Corporation assignment management techniques

To register for the Webinar, go to http://www.gmacglobalrelocation.com/2005grts.html or call 800/589-7858.

Stern noted that the longevity of the survey - now in its 11th year - makes it possible to compare each year's results with historical averages, in turn enabling companies to gauge the relative importance of annual variations. The annual surveys are used as a benchmark for policy development, and are often cited in major business publications and journals that specialize in global business issues. A complimentary copy of the latest survey can be downloaded from the insight and support section of the GMAC Global Relocation Services corporate website, at http://www.gmacglobalrelocation.com
