Answer to Question 1

Repatriation is the expatriate's return to his or her home country following completion of a foreign assignment.
Unless managed well, the expatriate is likely to encounter problems upon returning home. Some returning employees find their international experience is not valued, and they may be placed in lesser or ill-suited positions than what they held abroad. Some expatriates report financial difficulties upon returning, such as inflated housing prices or cuts in pay. Many experience reverse culture shock, readjustment to parent-country culture. For the employee and family members who have spent several years abroad, psychological readjustment to life in the home country can be stressful.
Human resource managers can proactively provide counseling on the types of problems that employees face upon returning home. While the expatriate is abroad, the firm can monitor the employee's compensation and career path. After returning home, the firm can provide bridge loans and other interim financial assistance, as well as counseling to address both career and psychological needs. The firm needs to ensure the expatriate has a career position equal to, or better than, the one held before going abroad.
