Staffing recruitment and selection of INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENTAparrajithaAriyadasa
In staffing in international business, HR managers must determine when or where to expatriation. Expatriate workers are frequently assigned to key positions in overseas operations. Human resource managers must also decide on the issue of compensation. The compensation of expatriate workers must be examined along with compensation of local workers and the compensation of workers in the home country. Differences in compensation packages have significant implications on staffing success, expatriate performance and business performance. HR managers must also address the issue of repatriation. Repatriation happens when the worker needs to come back to the home country, usually to continue working for the company. Repatriation also happens when the expatriate worker retires. These issues have significant effects on the perspectives and performance of expatriate workers and local workers, and the effectiveness of IHRM in staffing.

The Plank Center hosted a free webinar titled “Women and Leadership in Public Relations.”
The Center’s 2017 Leadership Report Card found that being successful in the field is still challenging for women—the pay gap is real; the opportunity gap is real; and the being-heard-and-respected-gap is real.

Editor's Notes
Tools to help DCCs arrange their linked lives successfully
Help dual-career couples maintain a balance between work and personal/family life
HR managers want to make sure an expatriate and the family adjust equally well to their new environment, because the family directly influences the success of the expatriate’s assignment abroad. Returning to the home country before fulfilling the contractual period or performing poorly at work due to the family’s poor adjustment are also considered failed assignments
1.) biggest challenge for expatriates during the fulfilling of their contractual assignments according to the E.C.A.: family readiness and adaptability
Moreover, a second study by E.C.A. showed that the second most common reason for assignment termination before the planned end was constituted by family issues
2.) the special package offered as a bundle for the entire family. It can be cheaper for the employer, depends on the ability of the HR manager to offer the familiy a package with superior value for the same costs...
3.) Dual-career relationships are a growing trend, especially because of increasing gender equality
Big issue for the future: basically the Int.HR managements biggest challenge: managing dual-career couples
