Repatriation Plan Fred Bailey

1. Design Repatriation Policy


a. Detailing the types of support provided for Fred with well-documented
guidelines.
b. Expectations about the assignment needed to be discussed, so Fred
would already know what to expect once he got to Tokyo.
c. Career planning for Fred after he ends the international assignment; so he
can bring some knowledge gained from this and feel more useful.
d. Put all this together and make a repatriate agreement be signed for both
parties that can be updated depending the circumstances.
2. Creating opportunities to establish contacts during visits to the home country
a. Keeping in touch with colleagues or former managers allows Fred to
remain visible to HR people even after the end of the international
assignment in Tokyo. So he is never really forgotten, but is taken into
account when there is a new position in the company.
b. Fred is still considered in the internal communications from the HQ so he
can still feel part of the team back home.
c. Having meetings with his mentor can provide him a safe environment to
talk about the problems faced in Tokyo.
3. Early Initiation of repatriation talks
a. The company should begin discussions with Fred in advance. Going into
the last few months of the international assignment and the company has
not yet approached could potentially unsettle the employee. Fred would
have less planning uncertainty by starting the discussions early - at least 6
months before the end - and could continue to focus on the job.
4. Appropriate assistance with repatriation
a. The company should offer support to Fred. Help finding jobs for his wife
and finding new schools for the children will help Fred and his family make
the transition from Tokyo to home go more smoothly. Assistance in finding
housing and temporary housing are also included here.
b. The company should also offer financial and tax advice to Fred. Helping
Fred with his finances would take “a load off his backpack”.
c. The company should also give him some time for himself and his family to
re-adjust their life back home.
5. Reintegration Training
a. This training plans for both personal and professional reintegration when
Fred returns home with his family. The professional aspect here is that
through this training Fred learns how to use his learned international
experience and his new knowledge to perform well on the job and thereby
be an attractive employee for the company. In the personal side, Fred and
his family would learn to take some positive outcomes from this
experience and how to deal with the re-adjustment.
b. Make Fred have meetings with his team to start making the knowledge
transfer from Fred to his team about the outcomes and learnings that he
had in his international experience. This can help Fred feel more valuable
in the company and among his colleagues.
