GENEVA, Switzerland, January 29 /PRNewswire/ --     Based in Geneva, AIM was established in cooperation with corporate and
civil society partners to enable the private sector to act directly and
effectively on the major economic, social and humanitarian challenges of
human mobility.

Manpower Inc. and WISeKey, two of AIM's founding partners, have played a
lead role in the Labour Mobility Index to be launched at the 2009 World
Economic Forum in Davos.

The Labour Mobility Index will allow governments and private sector
companies to monitor progress on labour mobility policy and practice via the
Internet. The Index will include an analysis of legislation, regulation,
institutional behaviour, openness of markets to foreign workers, services
provided to them and measures for their integration, permanent or temporary.

Manpower has sponsored Oxford Analytica as designer of the methodology
and evaluation processes required to prepare and publish the Labour Mobility
Index.

"The Labour Mobility Index will be a powerful tool in advancing AIM's
vision of an open, efficient, fair and sustainable system of human mobility
worldwide," said AIM Co-Chair Brunson McKinley.

The Association for International Mobility (AIM) advocates on behalf of a
more open and flexible international labour mobility; encourages commercially
viable services to foreign workers and the communities they live in,
especially through use of mobility technology; and serves as a point of
reference and assistance for civil society groups working in the field of
human mobility.

"Manpower has long recognized this as an area that can be much improved
in order to facilitate global mobility," said David Arkless, President of
Global Corporate and Government Affairs, Manpower Inc. "Our partnership with
AIM will allow us to bring to market unique ways of looking at this trend
based on the strengths of our organizations."

"WISeKey eSecurity technologies will enable AIM to activate the Labour
Mobility Index over the Internet and monitor it securely from anywhere in the
world" said Carlos Moreira, CEO, WISekey.

In all its work, AIM seeks to reinforce the influence and capacity of
other actors in international human mobility - individuals, businesses, civil
society, organizations, governments and local authorities - and will
emphasize the humanitarian dimension of international mobility.

AIM operates as a non-profit association under by-laws approved by the
Swiss government. Its members are corporations and associations with
strategic interests in human mobility as well as distinguished international
experts in the field.
