Outsourcing to Ukraine: 2006 results and 2007 expectations
2006 showed that IT outsourcing remained one of the most dynamic field of the Ukrainian economy.
Because of the growing requirements for the service, 2007 is expected to be successful for the industry.
Information Technology market in the Ukraine has been growing stably during the last five years.
Although internal customers still cannot afford ordering big IT projects, Ukrainian IT products are
progressively more desired in Western countries. The USA and Western Europe are unalterably the
well-established importers of software development services from the Ukraine.
The growth of IT industry export totaled 60% and rose to $280 million in 2006; the growth of IT market
totaled 25-30%. According to IDC forecast, Ukrainian Information Technology market is expected to grow
15-17% and reach $2.4-2.5 million in 2007. It means that outsourcing service market is going to maintain
its stable growth.
24-7 Press Release
Thailand:
East Asia may face employment challenges
As the powerhouse economies of China and South Korea transform East Asia, the region faces new challenges,
including greater inequality in incomes, schooling and job opportunities, the U.N. labor agency said in
its annual report Thursday.
The region's labor market has not kept up with its economic advancement, the International Labor
Organization said. Average working hours are longer than in other regions, sometimes exceeding 50 hours
per week, while the state of workplace safety and health conditions, as well as workers rights, remain
in many cases unsatisfactory, it said.
"Inequality has risen, not just in income levels, but also in schooling and access to basic services,"
the agency warned.

Deep Release:
Shocking Number of Organizations Without Chief Privacy Officer
Two-thirds of recently surveyed companies have no CPO; 70% lack privacy department.
Despite increasing concerns surrounding employee privacy and compliance issues, 70% of recently surveyed companies indicated that their organizations had no privacy department. In addition, 75% did not have a Chief Privacy Officer in place to manage the tricky and complex issues associated with employee privacy.
The Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp – formerly HRI), in conjunction with HR.com, conducted the Employee Privacy Practitioner Consensus Survey in January of 2007. A total of 145 organizations participated.
"Emerging technologies, such as those associated with electronic monitoring of employees and the storage and access of personal information, have brought the issue of privacy to the forefront. It's surprising to see that more organizations are not formalizing their policies and procedures. There are not a lot of guidelines in place for organizations, and we need to take these issues out of the shadows and tackle them head on in a way that ensures privacy of the individual and privacy of the corporation at all levels," says Jay Jamrog, Senior Vice President, Research at i4cp.
Of the 70% of organizations without a privacy department, 53.8% said HR oversaw privacy compliance, while 23.9% said it was the Legal Department's responsibility. Almost 5% said compliance fell under Security, and 17.7% indicated "other", which included IT, Corporate Auditing and Records Management.
When it came to the number of employees per organization charged with employee compliance programs, the numbers were markedly similar for those that had privacy departments and those that didn't. Eighty-one percent of organizations without an employee privacy department said that one to five employees were assigned to privacy compliance programs, while of those with a designated department, 74.5% had one to five employees. Almost 8% of those in the former group had six to 10 employees, while 11.2% had more than 10. In the latter group, 13.7% had six to 10 employees and 11.8% had more than 10.
The study also explored the education and degrees/licensure or certifications required for those dedicated to managing employee privacy issues and the reporting structure surrounding such positions. Regarding the need for a law degree, 34.6% of companies with a CPO said a law degree was a requirement for the position.
Other trends that surfaced in the survey results surrounded the monitoring of electronic communications, the effect of monitoring on morale, and the impact of emerging technologies such as blogs and GPSs on privacy.
