Expatriate Challenges in Developing Countries

Today I had the pleasure to deliver a presentation to the Thames Valley Chapter of the Forum for Expatriate Management.  If you are not familiar with this organization, I urge you to visit their website – there is a wealth of great resources to be found regarding all aspects of international assignment management.

My presentation focused on the unique challenges of expatriate assignments in developing countries.  There is information about:

  • the challenges of designing expatriate compensation packages;
  • the emerging trends in the sources of talent for these assignments;
  • some comparative information on hardship pay (a key element of packages to some developing countries); and
  • a couple of ideas about alternative approaches to consider.

If you would like to look at the presentation in its entirety, please send me an email using the Contact Us page.
