Answer to Question 1

Upon repatriation, expatriates often find themselves working in a company that has changed drastically during their absence. They find that their corner offices are occupied by their former underlings, or by professionals new to the company. They also suffer a loss of status. During their international assignment, expatriates and their families are involved in a close, elite social environment. Upon return, they often find themselves to be no more than average dwellers in nondescript suburbia. Companies often try to soften the reverse culture shock by offering the repatriate a substantial incentive package, such as a raise upon return, guaranteeing a promotion, and/or a repatriation grand. Probably the most important action that the company can take is to keep the expatriate in the loop for the duration of the assignment.
