What to do

Time to go home, so much to do and so little time.

Here are few suggestions from experienced expats.

Going Home

Managing the shock of return

Are you prepared to experience an adjustment which sometimes lasts twice as long as your adjustment when you first moved to a new culture?

For many global nomads re-entry shock upon returning home from a foreign assignment is much more significant than their adjustment to the new culture. They were expecting to be ill at ease in a foreign country, but not at all prepared to feel like a foreigner when they return home.

GMAC's survey says that 43 percent of expats leave the company within 3 years of returning home. Some of the reasons cited involve minimal opportunity to utilise expat experience and poor recognition during and after the assignment.
