Report highlights relocation issues

A recent report by Nicola Monson of the CIPD entitled The Changing Face of International Assignments highlights the ways in which expatriates and their partners/families are supported prior to, during and after the assignment, including information on the initiatives employers are using to deal with dual career issues. It also includes recommendations regarding improvements that could be made, including organising language training for both the employee and his/her family, providing coaching and mentoring services for the assignees in the host country (see Sue Shortland’s article on overseas mentoring in the forthcoming summer 06 issue of Re:locate) and introducing initiatives to address dual career issues.

For further information on the reports, see www.cipd.co.uk.
