Overview

HERE WE ARE - The International Career Couple Handbook provides a new way to approach internationally mobile talent. From a foundation of deeply caring for a global workforce, it offers real-life insights into the challenges and opportunities for International Career Couples (ICC) and the organisations that deploy them. With in-depth research and substantial HR experience this book argues that the future of global careers requires a holistic strategic perspective on professionals living and working in international trajectories. Applying organisational methods and allowing for meaningful conversations are ways for ICCs to succeed and for organisations to retain them. The handbook is filled with practical tools for each ICC to construct their map of the future.
