Module 4 – SLP

Global Workers

Dealing with Repatriates

An expatriate is an employee living and working in a different
country from where he or she is a citizen. Moving an employee to an
overseas assignment for an extended period of time requires careful
selection, training, and planning to make the experience a success.

The return of an expatriate (called repatriation) must be well
planned and executed in order for the employee and organization to
benefit from the overseas assignment.

Task: After doing some research, discuss how you (i.e., the VP of HR)
would conduct the repatriation process for an employee who is returning
from Saudi Arabia after 5 years. Use your creativity and discuss the
entire procedure.

SLP Assignment Expectations

Your paper should be short (2-3 pages, not including the cover sheet
and references) and to the point. You are expected to deal with these
issues in an integrated fashion, rather than treating them as a series
of individual questions to be answered one by one and left at that.
