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 to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia after 5 years. Use your creativity

and discuss the entire procedure. Bring in at least one high-quality peer-reviewed library source in addition

to the required readings.

SLP Assignment Expectations

Your paper should be 2-3 pages (not including the cover sheet and references). 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.
