“…Other studies point to slower economic growth and a shrinking tax base as a consequence of population aging, leading to unsustainability of the provision of publicly funded health care and support services, including collective housing options, for the old and oldest old population (Chand & Tung, 2014). It is estimated that Canadians 65 years of age and older cost three times as much to care for medically as younger Canadians, and costs continue to increase with age (Romanow, 2002;Légeré et al, 2015).…”

Centre for Real Estate -in daily speaking 'CEJ' -is the new centralized real estate centre in the Danish public authority, Capital Region of Denmark. Since 1 January 2017, more than 700 employees have been part of the centre, which has the task of creating, operating and optimizing the buildings owned by the regional authority. The trusted FM partnerThe Capital Region is responsible of hospitals, mental health services, research, disability services, social services and solving environmental tasks. The building stock is approx. 2 million m 2 with a portfolio consisting of more than 750 single buildings at more than 70 locations. The strategic ambition in CEJ is to become the trusted partner for the regions core businesses and not as de facto the default FM organization. In this article we share our first experiences as inspiration to others who are considering a change process from decentral to central facilities management. The preparationsThe corporate management decided in 2015 that the preparations of a centre for real estate should take place in 2016 and 1 of January 2017 was set as the formal opening day. Mogens Kornbo started as CEO of CEJ the 1. March 2016 and during the spring, summer and fall the contours of CEJ started to settle. The centre should be a real estate and facilities management centre, the hospitals etc. should hand over responsibilities together with employees and budgets and a process was started to prepare and motivate the 720 employees who was about to change their organizational association and become the vast majority of the CEJ employees. An important part of the preparations was the constellation of the organizational structure. It consists of a CEO and deputy with representation in the corporate management, supported by administrative staff and 5 units of  System and processes  Planning and building projects  Operation and technique  Energy and environment  Logistics and supply chain The REFM scopeCEJ´s is set out to be a Real Estate FM (REFM) centre that unites ownership, investment and operational optimization in one and the same organization. The responsibilities are in general the physical environment and the technical services related to operation of buildings including: indoor and outdoor building maintenance, technical service, outdoor areas, fire and safety, indoor environment, waste handling parking and environment. In the future we might grow with other FM services, but currently cleaning, catering, receptions, guard etc. is not included in our responsibilities. These FM tasks remain for the time being in the core business organizations. Corporate economy, IKT and HR on are also not the responsibility of CEJ, as the region has other centres with this as their resort. 9The financial basisThe economic negotiations were challenging and they still are. Top management at the hospitals accepted or even supported the idea of a central real estate organization, but like in all other situations where resources are limited; there were at times hard negotiations about transfer...

In a globalised world, more and more organisations have to select from pools of applicants from different cultures, often by using personality tests. If applicants from different cultures were to differ in the amount of faking on personality tests, this could threaten their validity: Applicants who engage in faking will have an advantage, and will put those who do not fake at a disadvantage. This is the first study to systematically examine and explain cross‐cultural differences in actual faking behavior. In N = 3,678 employees from 43 countries, a scenario‐based repeated measures design (faking vs. honest condition) was applied. Results showed that faking differed significantly across countries, and that it was systematically related to countries’ cultural characteristics (e.g. GLOBE's uncertainty avoidance, future orientation, humane orientation, and in‐group collectivism), but in an unexpected way. The study discusses these findings and their implications for research and practitioners.

“…As we discussed in the previous section, PwD insertion in the Brazilian job market depends, among other factors, on firms' central role as part of a solution to a problem made relevant not only because of PwD representativity but also because of important demographic trends related to population aging (Chang & Tung, 2014). Lower fertility rates, higher life expectancy and lower mortality rates point to an increase in the dependency ratio.…”

“…On the other hand, the issue has become increasingly important not only because of rights gained by minorities, who have demanded -though not always successfully -equal treatment in different spheres (social, legal and economic), but also due to the population's aging and other demographic changes that are pressuring firms into adopting more inclusive policies (Chang & Tung, 2014). Additionally, as will be shown, a low participation of PwD in the job market is a social hindrance for the country as a whole (Miranda, 2004).…”

Purpose -This study aims to analyze the relationship between greater participation of people with disabilities in Brazilian firms and productivity as a performance indicator.Design/methodology/approach -To test the relationship between the proportion of PwD and the productivity of Brazilian firms, we used regression analysis with panel data and a dataset of public information from 46 firms for years 2010 and 2011.Findings -There was no statistical evidence stating that a greater proportion of people with disabilities in the workforce has a negative (or positive) relationship with the productivity of Brazilian firms. Conversely, a positive relationship between a greater proportion of people with disabilities and productivity was found amongst firms that present greater social commitment.Originality/value -These results indicate the contingent character associated with diversity management, and that the adoption of social practices by Brazilian firms can be an important mechanism for the management of diversity and inclusion.
