There is more to an effective international assignment than just moving an employee from one city to another. Mercer's new report, Global Mobility Handbook, Volumes 1 and 2, gives you the practical information you need to consider before, during and after deploying staff around the world.

Volume 1 is a primer for international assignment administrators who are newcomers to the expatriate field.

Volume 2 offers advanced topics for international assignment administrators experienced in expatriating employees.

Both volumes of this report provide insights into various aspects involved in expatriation, such as:

The human resources/administration function
Pre-assignment preparation and moving
Pay packages
Budget, cost control and taxes
Communication pointers
Family issues
Repatriation

The report also discusses compensation philosophies and policies, phases of the expatriation process, and external factors involved (for example, administration outsourcing options, hardship conditions, economic factors and more).

Employers and HR policy makers with expatriate programmes will find this report useful to make their foreign assignments both cost-effective and successful.
