The challenge of finding housing in an unfamiliar market... "I've always believed that people are a company's most important asset. As an expatriate myself, and the leader of an international team, I've seen firsthand how the challenges of living abroad can focus employees' attention away from meeting business objectives. Choosing the right people and preparing them for their assignment is a good first step, but its not the total solution. You need effective HR and assignment support systems to meet your employees' needs over the life of their assignment. And when its time to move on to a new role, you have to make sure your programs are designed to retain the employee in a position that optimizes your investment in them. Well designed and perfectly executed HR programs should be a fundamental component of your international business strategy. After all, the contributions of your employees have the greatest impact on your bottom line." A. Gary Ames |
