Repatriation:
The Art of Coming Home
Expatriates returning from an international assignment face an even greater adjustment to their "home" country than the one they experienced when they went abroad. Studies show that returning employees leave their parent companies at twice the rate of non-expats, due in large part to the problems of reverse culture shock—for causes, in short, that can be identified and mitigated.
In the workshop Craig Storti identifies the major personal and professional challenges of repatriation—for the employees, spouse, and children—and helps returnees and their organizations plan for and successfully manage this difficult transition.
Training topics include:
Key personal adjustment challenges for the employee.
Key workplace adjustment issues for the employee.
Key adjustment issues for the spouse and children.
Strategies for successful repatriation.
How returnees can use their new skills.
What companies can do to make the transition smoother.
Repatriation is not an easy topic to cover in a workshop, but the design and delivery of this training, using a lot of our participation, was perfect for my spouse and myself.
Craig Storti not only knows this content inside and out but figured out a way to personalize it for us. In my opinion that’s the only way a workshop on this topic can really work.
This seminar is based on Craig Storti’s best-selling book The Art of Coming Home, now in its 3rd edition.
