Do you value your employees as human resources? Are they equally as valuable to you as your company's financial assets? You have done well to staff your HR division with capable personnel at work on behalf of all your employees. Your company is especially fortunate to have a staff of competent personnel in International HR when you have expatriate employees at work half-a-world away from the home office.
In demonstration of congruity between your words and actions regarding the importance of your human capital in a global marketplace, we invite you to "think outside the box." Here are ways to enhance the return on your investments in human resources:
Step One: Audit Your Human Resources. You will benefit markedly from:
Perceptions of the challenges and opportunities of expatriate assignments within your company, surveying any or all of:
Those on international assignments in your total workforce.
Current employees on international assignment.
Accompanying spouses on international assignment.
Perceptions of the effectiveness of your process for selecting candidates for international assignments.
Documentation of steps followed.
Identification of outcomes when selection process is performed effectively.
Evaluation of the impact of the selection process on expatriate assignments.
Perceptions of the adequacy of resources for equipping expatriate employees for adjusting to the culture in an assigned country.
Documentation of the nature of resources provided.
Perceptions of the benefits obtained from those resources.
Implications of failing to provide resources for cultural adjustment.
Perceptions of challenges and difficulties faced in repatriation.
Nature and frequency of significant difficulties experienced in repatriation.
Identification of resources provided to assist repatriates reporting difficulties.
Effectiveness of resources provided repatriates having difficulties.
Step Two: After careful analysis of the data collected in the audit, or audits, of your Human Resources, a written report will be presented to you in a personal briefing. It will equip you for taking specific action in profitable ways.
