Assignees need to be effective instantly. They are time-poor and under pressure. They need to show positive results and impact immediately and must quickly earn the trust of their colleagues in the host country.
Too many assignments fail to achieve the business objectives because the assignee and/or their family underestimates the complexity of working in an unfamiliar cultural context – which adds further pressure.
To support your key talent, demonstrate high returns on investment and increase the strategic value of the mobility function, you need to give your assignees a complete cultural toolkit.
