How do you think repatriates can alleviate the problems that they anticipate upon their return?

Correct Answer

verifed

verified

Repatriates can alleviate the problems they anticipate upon their return via communication and preparation. First, they can keep in regular contact with their home office and update them on their personal well-being while on assignment. By maintaining constant contact with colleagues and bosses, they will not feel disconnected from the home country and office, which will help eliminate the feeling of detachment most repatriates feel when returning and having to assimilate into the home office's organizational culture. If there is a shift in the organizational culture, the expatriate will be aware of this and can easily adjust upon returning from assignment due to his or her involvement. Second, repatriates should prepare for the challenges associated with a return to the home country. Before departing, expatriates should have taken time and implemented measures on how to best reintegrate into their working and home environments. By having a comprehensive plan in place, it should make the transition much easier and alleviate any potential issues.

What are the main arguments that justify the increased use of local talent instead of expatriates?
