Our Focus

Our focus since 1995 has been to save organisations millions in failed expatriate contract costs by helping them through the process of what we call..

"PROACTIVE EXPATRIATE MANAGEMENT" ^TM

This is the process of identifying all the key issues involved in the expatriation process and actively ensuring that they are correctly addressed prior to the globalisation process commencing and/or before you send employees into a foreign country.

At a cost of  approximately US$450 000, relocating your expatriates is serious business.

Fact: 30 - 40 % of all expatriate contracts fail (where failure is defined as not just returning home but also sitting out the term of the contract unproductively - "brownouts").

60 % of the 40 % can be attributed to issues surrounding the spouse and children.

It is essential that the International Human Resources Manager sees to it that the management of the contract is executed professionally and proactively.

The impact of a failed expatriate contract is felt heavily on the bottom line as well as on the family structures.

The goal of the International Human Resources Manager (IHRM) is to reduce the chance of failure through whichever means possible.

The subcomponents in Proactive Expatriate Management ^TM are many and complex and need to be identified and addressed appropriately if you are going to be globally astute.

We also focus on developing your support staff, your international business executives and the rest of your global workforce.

We have been consulting and running programmes for the past FIFTEEN years and have gained valuable experience in the field.

We have prepared  over 1800 expatriates for over 45 different countries throughout the world and have traveled to over 45 countries doing research.
