Returning
home is the sister product of Planning to work
abroad?,
designed for expatriates about to come home.
Although
traditionally much time and preparation goes into preparing
an employee for an international assignment, the
implications of returning home after a prolonged absence are
often overlooked.
The main focus of the guide is a questionnaire for the
expatriate and family to complete. The rest of the guide
provides information, case studies, practical tips and an
activity planner.
Primarily for the expatriate, responses arising from
preparation to return using Returning home may be
built by HR managers into existing processes such as
appraisals, career counselling and induction back into the
home organisation.
