Best cities to work and live

As a global consultant, I have been traveling over a year now, from one country to another. I have worked in few cities in 4 different countries, although the ease of communication made me job much easier and I was able to keep my work habits wherever I went, working and living conditions varies from one city to another.

An interesting survey done by Mercer, a firm specializing in Global HR and related services, show how cities around the world rank in term of Quality of living, personal safety. The survey can be found at:

If you are a global manager and your employees travel from country to country on work assignments, there are detailed quality of living reports for over 180 cities around the world available on the same above website.

Doing a thorough research on a country’s or a city’s quality of living standards before sending you employees over must be a top priority for you company, moving to a new country can be a bit of an adventure and full of surprises.
