Companies invest massive amounts of money sending international assignees around the world, yet waste it when they return to their home office.  This can be easily avoided with good assignment planning up front, equipping leaders to apply the significant insights and value from the returning assignee plus structuring the roles for the returning executives that uses their cross-cultural and other skills acquired during the international placement.  SHRM's own statistics show that assignees leave their organizations more frequently than those who were never sent to a new geography, which is an avoidable cost.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn why international assignees leave their companies more often than those who have not been placed in another country.
