However, the varied procedures and expertise for effective relocation management go well beyond the realms of the traditional human resource management function, essentially being internal management.
Creating a policy for your company’s relocations will not only set the guidelines for managing an expatriate workforce, it is essential for HR departments to cope with the increased workload effectively.
The most important role of policy though is communication. The expatriate must be clear about the support your company is providing. This allows firstly for a point of negotiation but more importantly allows the employee to fully prepare for the aspects of the new assignment that they will need to deal with personally.
The result is that all parties are clear from the outset of their responsibilities and can fully prepare for the transition. This opens the way for a successful assignment and avoids any misunderstanding or disgruntled employees.
