Challenger President Challenger Gray Christmas Inc James Challenger ON JOBS hsuB Indicative of the improved stature of women in the corporate world trans ferred women are increas ingly leading their husbands to a new city or decades it was almost always the other way around Today a growing number of men are receiving a special type of job search assistance known as transplacement as they follow a transferred spouse In an effort to retain valued employees more and more companies are offering transplacement to the working spouse of a transferee The purpose is to help the trailing employed spouse relocate to a similar position in the new city In the past women were almost exclusively the recipi ents of transplacement help Men were almost always the primary wage earners being relocated and women left their jobs to follow Evidence of the shift can be seen in the latest data from the Census Bureau wliich shows a greater percentage of women householders' moving with a trailing spouse The householder according to the Census Bureau refers to the head of the household or the person in whose name the housing unit is owned or rented The person designated as the householder is the to whom the relation ship of all other household members if any is recorded While women represented a smaller percentage of house holders larger percentages were movers Of the 138 million female householders with a spouse 14 percent or 19 million moved between March 1998 and March 1999 Among the 41 million male householders with a spouse 105 percent moved As more women move up the corporate ladder they are increasingly viewed as the best person for the job and are more likely to be transferred as they advance their careers Helping enhance stature in the workplace and fueling the rise in transfers is the fact that they are outpacing men in earning college degrees Statistics show that women have become the dominant holders of degrees In the 1999 2000 grad 'WWW 5 HIM 3l Today a growing number of men are receiving a special type of job search assistance known as transplacemen as they follow a transferred spouse uating class women with bache degrees outnumbered their male counterparts by 27 percent (637000 vs 500000) By the class of 2006 07 the gap will expand to 38 percent The number of women earn ing MBAs jumped from onlv 609 in 1968 to 38008 in 1997 according to the Department of Education In the 1990s alone the number of women earning these advanced degrees climbed 46 percent By comparison men earning MBAs during the same period grew just 18 percent As more women take posi tions of leadership within com panies they are more likely to be targeted for transfers Companies transfer people they value placing them where their talents will do the most good and trusting in their abilities Tbday all areas of a company are viewed as profit centers' Transfers almost always entail additional responsibilities and challenges and are often rewarded with a boost in salary' Increasingly companies (arc choosing women over men for these career building moves That points to a future with upward movement in both women's salaries and the level of job positions they hold In addition transplacement today is no longer limited only to spouses With companies fighting to retain top people they can also use transplace ment counseling as an incentive for significant others The trend of offering transplacement to significant others represents another dramatic workplace shift When transplacement was first implemented four decades ago the concept was framed by the traditional hus band wife relationship Rarely were unmarried or gay and lesbian partners of transferred employees considered eligible for the employer paid benefit Denying transplacement to significant others is not in the best interest of compa nies today In an intensely competitive atmosphere companies work to retain their best people no matter what their lifestyles Talented employees are a very precious
