Is Covid-19 transforming the expatriation perception?

The pandemic has affected us in so many ways in our lives and our experience of expatriation is not an exception.

Indeed, as a consequence, we see expatriates hastily operating important career shifts, early returns and will still probably continue, impacting not only their personal lives but more over organizations.

We should bear in mind that business continuity can be at high risk if global talents start to leave organizations from their own initiative, too quickly, too soon.
Expatriates are one of the main competitive advantage for companies, not only due to the core capabilities developed but more, due to the tacit knowledge accumulated during their career, their know-how, their informal role, their networks…

Global HR, it is even more critical now to be present on a regular basis, to support/follow up, assess differently/more deeply internationals, capitalize knowledge and retain decisive global talents.
