Learn more in our Barometer report on the return home.
Every year, the Expat Communication Barometer shows that returning to France or to the country of origin is the most difficult phase of expatriation.
Expats are faced with lonliness and/or feeling misunderstood; they find it hard to explain or give value to their time abroad, and may even experience a drop in their quality of living. The challenges when returning home are unanimously recognized and cited.
However, this is the step for which companies often provide the least amount of support.
As an expat states very candidly,
“When you’re preparing for your arrival abroad, someone carries your suitcase for you; when coming home they let the door slam in your face.”
Today, we have the mans to make this phase easier, to sufficiently prepare expats for the return home, and to avoid difficulties for both the company and the employee.
