International assignments are valuable experiences for the manager and the company. Expatriates should be appreciated and taken seriously by senior executives who authorize international transfers. To be most productive, expatriates benefit from effective developmental opportunities and supportive assistance throughout their life cycle, from acceptance of an assignment through to repatriation assimilation.

Get Added Value from Expats

Each Expatriate Development and Management Program is custom designed by Revel Miller Consulting to match organizational needs and aspirations. Comprehensive and integrated programs offer familiar and innovative approaches that directly benefit companies, expatriates, repatriates and family members. They ensure that assignees are successfully selected, prepared, supported, developed and repatriated. Moreover, expatriate programs accelerate globalization plans and contribute to the evolution of global corporate culture and mindset.

Through specialized programming with Revel Miller Consulting, expatriates acquire competencies and accurate expectations before departing, during assignment and after repatriation. Programs such as this are a timely initiative because today’s expatriates need more knowledge and skills than past assignees.

Confident and effective expatriate managers represent more than short-term investments while on assignment. In reality, they are valuable long-term investments when relocated internationally or eventually re-assigned back home. In the future, they can become experienced candidates for global senior executive positions.

When collaboratively developed with Revel Miller Consulting, comprehensive expatriate programs help:

	Manage international positions better
	Implement relevant policies and procedures
	Develop leadership competencies
	Build a reserve pool of qualified candidates
	Improve market position and knowledge
	Network global executives and managers
	Retain repatriate managers
	Realize a better return on investment

Although expatriates are a small fraction of a company’s workforce, they can be a powerful asset in moving the globalization process forward.

Protect, cultivate and take advantage of your investment. Get the most out of your expatriates and become global winners. Move ahead while other companies stand on the sidelines. Be bold. Be there. And be ready.

What is your company doing to build a strong pool of available expatriates to meet vacancy, expansion and other globalization needs?
