HR workshops
HR must deliver results from expatriating their employees. Both when posted abroad and upon repatriation.
Acknowledging that an expatriation will result in a demand for other skills, and from the accompanying family as well, is key to protecting your ROI.
When expatriating an employee who is competent in executing what they are hired to do, HR must consider that this employee may not automatically be equally competent in expatriating / repatriating skills. This is a different task for them to succeed in.
As a result of HR not acting prior to expatriating an employee, some expatriates get buried in the administration and technicalities of an international assignment instead of capturing strategic opportunities. There may very well be failure to integrate and also in cultural adaptation. This will stand in the way of goal achievement at work.
In a nutshell, You want to take action beforehand.
All workshops that I offer have 3 common goals:

Creating supportive HR
Guidelines & policies
They must be designed to support a successful expatriation.
WORKSHOPS
