As global mobility programs grow, so does the value–and expected ROI–of financial and human capital
investments to place high-performing executives into short- and long-term international assignments.
Each year, approximately 10% of Expat executives are terminated in country.The causes range from the
inability of the executive to adapt to a new business culture and produce the expected results, to more
personal and family-oriented circumstances.
When organizations determine that an Expat executive assignment must be terminated, support is often
focused on the practical aspects of relocation, with little to no support provided for career transition.
REALITIES OF GLOBALTALENT MOBILITY

5. 4
Expat executive transitions are highly visible, internally and externally, and they pose significant risk
to the reputation and brand of both the executive and the organization.These transitions can also have
profound impact on the executive’s accompanying partner and family. Complex factors such as housing,
schooling, visas, repatriation and culture change add immense pressure to career decision-making and
the pursuit of new opportunities.
Providing the executive with the appropriate support and resources during the transition is a business
imperative. Expat executives who are clearly supported in their transition are more likely to serve
as valuable brand ambassadors, transfer critical knowledge, and help successors maintain client
relationships.Well-managed transitions also positively impact an organization’s ability to attract and
retain top talent, and continue to grow their global mobility programs.

The thing about the [ICEO] process that was
very important to me was the team approach . . .
help on resumes, help on psychological profiling,
advisory services, mock interviews, research and
development, connections, compensation support,
[and] negotiating a labor agreement.

CONNECTIONS
Networking at the senior executive level in the pursuit of new opportunities
can be a complex and delicate process with reputational risk. For many Expats,
the process can be even more challenging, as the dynamics of their social and
professional network will have changed during their international assignment.
Our ICEO Advisors provide a systematic approach to networking that enables
expatriate executives to reconnect with key contacts, expand their network, and
make new connections in their target market(s).
