How to make repatriation of expats work?
I often have this question and find this article very representative.
By offering repatriation programs designed to ensure that the learning benefits from expatriation continues after and for both: the executive and the host company (knowledge capitalization).
The biggest challenge is to handle the mismatch between the new expectations of an executive completely transformed after his/her assignment, willing to continue to grow and what the company can offer.
There are very good tools to do that while waiting for a better fit, among others:
Mentoring programs, coaching.
Creating specific opportunities for assignees to share their new skills, experiences with their new colleagues (leading informal sessions for colleagues, speaking to HP about international assignments, etc).
Being part of cross functional project with an international focus where their knowledge will be valued
Repatriation trainings
A smooth and successful return is always possible)
