Because companies in the U.S.A. typically do not take advantage of these knowledgeable managers and executives who have much to contribute, a large number (over 15%) resign within one year and even more (up to 40%) leave their company after three years. This often demonstrates poor planning and management practices, and wasteful investment strategies by multinational corporations.

These oversights are expensive and show a serious misunderstanding about the nature of global business. By providing returning managers with specialized coaching, a company highlights their value and expertise and also assists repatriates to re-assimilate, re-commit and work more productively.

Top Benefits and Results of Expatriate Coaching

Corporate/Organizational     Individual/Personal Improve return on expatriate investment   Reduce re-entry shock Enhance productivity, loyalty and valuable contributions   Accelerate re-assimilation Tap valuable international perspective   Remain focused on important priorities Reduce attrition and financial losses   Leverage international managerial skills to enhance career Expand corporate confidence, capability and global mindset   Enjoy work and create a meaningful niche in the company Accelerate re-adjustment to home corporate culture   Put acquired skills, knowledge and disappointments into perspective

Before returning home or accepting a re-assignment to another country, expatriate managers use coaching to re-assess their personal and career goals and to prepare for relocation. Upon return to their home country, they benefit from re-entry support and re-integration guidance that only specialized professional coaching provides.

Contrary to most logical assumptions about repatriates, the psychological struggle to re-adapt to their own home culture after a foreign assignment is often more difficult than adjusting to a foreign country culture. Re-settlement is full of misguided expectations and surprising pitfalls.

What to Expect

During the first year of re-assimilation, coaching with Revel Miller Consulting helps repatriate managers:

	Align their capabilities with their new position
	Demonstrate their valuable expertise and newly acquired skills
	Manage and contain their re-entry struggle

By offering supportive and goal-directed coaching to repats, corporate executives demonstrate their appreciation, protect their investment and have a better chance of retaining these valuable employees. How repatriates and their families are managed after returning home also has an impact on a company’s ability to flourish in future globalization efforts.

Specialized repatriate coaching is requested by savvy executives who want to build corporate-wide global mindset and maximize their return on sophisticated managers. Up the ante and put your money where the company’s value is.
