losing talent
It is estimated that only 10% of American multinationals bother training their staff prior to expatriation in comparison with 70% European and Japanese companies.
Some Japanese companies go as far as one year training prior to expatriation.
Expatriation has an enormous impact on employees and their family life, training to handle this change is essential to ensure employee productivity remains high. It is the job of the international human resources department to recruit and retain talented employees and expatriation causes stress large enough for employees that many end up resigning post repatriation.
Repatriation after five years of expatriation is likely to cause stress and lack of satisfaction among employees who have mastered by that point the 'way to do business' in their expat post and hence end up quitting the company within one year of returning to their home country.
Training and continuos assurance of employees by showing genuine empathy and understanding of stresses of expatriation ensures loyalty and loyalty ensures talented employees are retained.
Too many times organisations hire people with no people skills in key human resource positions, people with no humility and understanding of an employee as a whole i.e. family situation etc into key human resources positions and then wonder what's going wrong!
Hire for humility, train for skill in human resources...
Simple? you would think...
