...employee loyalty, community goodwill and solid-gold p.r. Unlike maternity benefits, adoption assistance isn't covered by medical or disability insurance, meaning the entire cost must come directly from an employer's pocket. Still, only 0.5% of employees tap adoption benefits, but the assistance is so appreciated that workers gush about it to colleagues, spreading the warm, fuzzy corporate feelings. "Not to cheapen it, but it's cost-effective goodwill," says Sorensen, "one that doesn't hit the bottom line very hard." Greg Rasin, a partner with Proskauer Rose who advises employers on benefits, points out that at the very...

Some 67,000 settlers have moved...
...flow of goods supplied by factories in the developing world to multinational retailers. Hong Kong, says Dennis Cicetti, group managing director of product-sourcing firm William E. Connor & Associates, is "the command and control center" for much of world trade, particularly for thousands of factories in southern China that gush forth consumer goods. Although Hong Kong has relatively few factories and a population of just 7 million, only 10 nations see more trade travel across their borders. The city is "totally underappreciated," says Merle Hinrichs, chairman of Global Sources, a Hong Kong publisher and provider of Internet-based product-sourcing...
