Introduction:

Attracting staff abroad remains a challenge for human resource professionals because of low labor market mobility. It says a new report by the Intelligence Group, in association with StepStone, which reveals that the desire to travel abroad to work varies considerably across Europe. Although eight of the 10 employees in the UK are willing to work abroad, the Dutch (49%) and Danes (46%) are less likely to consider a job in another country.

Over 2,000 companies survey, 42% are now international, primarily to address specific skills shortages. The shortage is worst in engineering, telecommunications and IT. But despite the opportunities, annual mobility of nationals of the European Union (EU) is less than 0.4%.

For those who want to work abroad, the main motivation is to broaden the experience (64%), followed by career development (50%) and the possibility of obtaining a more lucrative salary / package benefits (47%). The research found that workers are less likely to travel abroad to follow a spouse or for employer brand alone.
When the decision to work in another country has had, most job seekers (66%) begin their investigation by visiting the working together line, while less than a quarter (23%) in contact with recruitment agencies. Only a fifth of job seekers to view international press.

Decide the best How do you know a vacancy is just one element of how to design a successful international strategy, according to Matthew Parker, Group Managing Director StepStone Solutions activities. "It's important to remember that most workers do not automatically think about research for work abroad. Only when they see a tempting vacancy could seriously consider moving, "said Parker." Therefore, it is essential not just post a job somewhere and wait for responses from the candidates, but rather to adjust each vacancy, as factors that motivate their potential target candidates. This research reveals that these motivations vary from one country to another for any international strategy should be based on cultural differences, said.

Specializing in monitoring trends in the labor market, Geert-Jan Waasdorp, Director Intelligence Group, believes that more companies than ever recruitment campaigns will be developed to ensure international competitiveness. "The transition to an economy based on the economy in Europe has increased demand for highly skilled workers. To remain competitive, recruit and retain the right staff is crucial. Companies must be prepared to wage war talent on a global battlefield, "said Waasdorp.

An organization that has already developed an international recruitment strategy for Marriott International. "We have a variety of roles to fill each year, and without a comprehensive international strategy would not be able to fill all our positions the ability we need, "said Chris Dunn, Regional Director of Talent Management at Marriott International." Our international strategy is supported by the e-procurement software and services, which is very valuable, both for position and processing thousands of applications receive on a monthly basis throughout the world. The use of these software services and also assured that our recruitment campaigns can be understood in terms of scope geographically, but still be profitable, "said Dunn Other findings from the report include.:

· Culture and language differences are the main barriers to international recruitment strategies (43%), followed by legal problems (31%) and difficulty in control of the candidate's qualifications and references (26%).

· The continental European companies tend to hire in neighboring countries, while companies in the United Kingdom has no particular preference regarding with the country of origin of their foreign employees.

• Almost 40% of Britons would be willing to work abroad for more than five years. However, the Nordic countries (Norway, Sweden and Denmark) prefer to return home within two years.

This 100-page report, entitled "The International Procurement Manual "has been compiled by the Information Unit and presents the results of surveys conducted in 2171 and more than 20,900 European workers It also provides human resource professionals with practical advice on how to recruit from abroad.

HR priorities

International organizations and national priorities identified in similar human resources for the next two years. The main priority identified by 52 percent of international companies, has been the development of leadership. national organizations have also been rated leadership development as a high priority (35 percent).

Recruitment of high quality in the second row as a priority for both international (40 percent) and domestic firms (46 percent). Employee retention has also been a major concern for both international (33 percent) and domestic firms (46 percent). In fact, conservation was the first priority for national organizations.

Challenges for Coherence:

International companies face many challenges when it comes to human resource practices consistent in all locations and offices. The three main challenges include:

• Changes in social, political and economic.
• Several places and offices their own way of doing things and are resistant to change.

• The perceived value of the human resources function varies depending on location offices /.

General Challenges for Global Human Resources function

Functions such as operations, sales and marketing in general have made significant progress in adapting to the global reality. However, human resource function has generally lagged behind the development of policies and structures that support globalization. The main challenges facing human resources in the process of globalization include:

• Coordination of activities in many different places.
• Understand the constantly evolving global competitive environment.
• Building a global consciousness in all human resources departments and divisions.
• Creating a multicultural team of human resources.

Causes the failure of expatriates:

One of the issues professionals mixed RSI is managing the failure rate of expatriates. Expat error means transferee yields the country of origin or resign before the international assignment is completed.

In general, the failure rate of expatriates varies between 25% and 40%, and varies from one country to another, most U.S. corporations, for example, have a 10% to 40% failure rate, less than 5% rate failure in Japanese non-governmental organizations and European more often.

The reasons for failure are many expatriates, but the main causes appear to be transferee's personal inability to adapt himself and other family problems. Universally, the leading cause of expatriate failure is the shock upon impact culture. Culture has an impact on several expatriates nuisance behavior, both outside the company and at work. Although the issues are timeliness, health, clothing, gifts, negotiation meetings and belong to the first, second includes socialization, celebration of festivals and events, etc.. Failure to understand and adapt to these by the assignee and your spouse is one of the most influential factors that contribute to premature return of the assignee.

An adjustment of expatriates to local culture generally includes three stages. The "principle of U-shaped curve" with a high level, suggesting that the expatriate has a great thrill, discovering a new culture. This step is called the tourist scene. Business travelers, compared with expatriates often have the luxury of staying at this point. The first step is followed by a period of disillusionment (Second stage), in which the expatriate depression faces difficulties with a new culture is evident. These difficulties include the inability to converse in the language local difficulties in obtaining certain products and food supply of personal preference transmitted diseases, etc. At this point, the curve reaches under and is characterized by what is called culture shock.

Expatriates discern strangely uncertain in place and terrible, even when the culture shock it. standards of behavior established routines are disrupted and are more disturbed, more severe culture shock. In addition, the most critical routine is interrupted, the energy more mental than it takes to resolve, more anxiety and frustration and anger. Culture shock is a critical step, and how the person reacts to psychological adjustment This phase has a significant impact on the success or failure.

If culture shock is properly managed, the expatriate enters the third phase, which may be called the phase of adaptation or adjustment. He or she begins to feel more confident, positive, safe, works better and has learned to cope with the challenges of diversity.

Although culture shock is still the main reason for the failure exp, ultimately, all roads lead to rigorous "selection." The trustee's role RSI to choose the right candidate for the mission abroad is just as important in deciding the success or failure.

Expat fault in a high cost. It is estimated the cost of sending a manager and his family not at home is about $ 250,000. In addition, the indirect costs of these failures are significant. Tangible costs expatriate failure can be easily measured in monetary value than the cost of expatriation to the host location, such as travel and the elimination of the effects personal, rising wages, training for the mission, support for spouses and family members and staff positions. Intangible costs can understand how the loss of commercial contracts and the bonds of government and industry, the reputation of the company to be involved, the impact on unit operations receiving and morale of employees, in addition, expatriates own sense of failure, the state with their peers and the impact on the emotional behavior of the expatriate family.

The fastest lap is not necessarily an accurate measure of expatriate failure because the assignee may remain ineffective abroad to further harm its organizations. There are also Expatriates who successfully complete their mission abroad, but was not satisfied with your new position or leave the projected path company within two years. The dropout rate was estimated at high as 22% during the first year after repatriation and $ 22 more in the second year, thus depriving the organization of the assets of a qualified and experienced staff to create additional costs to the organization to recruit and train a replacement.

Expatriate failure reason:

U.S. Organizations:

1. The inability of spouse to adjust
2. manager's inability to adjust
3. other family reasons
4. Manager of personal maturity and emotional
5. The inability to cope with greater international responsibilities

Japanese organizations:

1. The inability to cope to greater international responsibilities.
2. Difficulties with the new environment.
3. Personal emotional problems.
4. The lack of technical competence

The causes of failure of expatriates:

A contrast RSI problems is the management of expatriate business failure rate. Expat error means that the transferee to return to their country of origin or to waive before the international assignment is completed.

In general, the expatriate failure rate varies between 25% and 40%, and varies from one country to another, most of U.S. multinationals for example, have a 10% to 40% failure rate, less than 5% failure rate in Japanese non-governmental organizations and European more often.

The reasons for expatriate failure are numerous, but appear to be the main causes of the transferee personal inability to adapt and other family problems. Universally, the fundamental reason for expatriate failure is a shock after the impact of culture. The culture has an impact on the behavior of several complaints expatriates both outside the company and at work.
