Concept & Brief Description: Helping Expatriates Return Home. When the Expatriates assignment ends the human resource management department has to help them transition back to his or her home country. This transition can be hard because of the lifestyle they are given. This may include: maid service, limousines, private schools and clubs.
Emotional Hook: Think if you were given an assignment that took you away from your home and culture for quite some time and then were expected to end that life and go back to your country and previous life and live it like you did before.
Key Points: The two main activities that help with this change are communication and validation. It is important for expatriates to know when they begin that there will be continual change. The more the organization keeps in contact with the expatriate the more effective and satisfied they will be on returning home. Validation is giving the expatriate recognition for their overseas service. It almost seems like a duty and when they duty is over they are pleased with their work and can go right back to their old lifestyle. It is also how the employee will be able to help the organization. like what skills will they bring and what position will they fill? This skill may be learned from a culture.
Facilitative Questions: What do the organizations do if they are given lots of trouble from the expatriate when they are finished with their assignment and are transitioning home? Is there a contract that lets them know what there assignment entails? What if they commit and then if they are asked to do something they refuse to do it because they didn't know they would have to do that ahead of time?
