US In or Out-bound,
or Third Country Assignment
Research shows that how well transferees make the
adjustment to life in the destination country contributes
significantly to international assignment success.
Annual NFTC and SHRM global relocation surveys consistently
report findings that the most common factors in
international assignment setbacks were spouse/ partner
dissatisfaction, family concerns, and inability
to adapt. Clearly, employers want to do all they
can to support assignee and accompanying family
adjustment as well as protect the enormous financial
investment international assignments represent.
