PROCESSES and SOLUTIONS
EXPATRIATE POLICIES
The International Assignment practices implanted in eight very different corporations demonstrate the value of integrating effective HRM processes to serve the organisation’s business needs. The Marple Partnership has formulated and applied transfer policies to cover assignments from all continents and for all levels from Region Presidents to Craftsmen. These practices utilise a “simplified Balance Sheet approach” to international assignments, attractive to employees and cost-effective for their employers. In all the companies that have adopted this methodology, the development of international managers has been the primary concern.
