Maximizing the Value of International Experience: Strategies for Repatriation Success, by Jonathan H. Westover PhD

Abstract: As globalization accelerates the movement of skilled talent internationally, successful repatriation has become a key retention and talent management issue for multinational organizations. This particle examines recent academic research on factors influencing repatriate job satisfaction and makes recommendations for applying findings to facilitate a positive repatriation experience. Drawing on studies exploring repatriate challenges with career support, cultural readjustment, and perceived organizational commitment, the brief identifies best practices such as establishing formal repatriation processes, crafting roles leveraging international experience, providing ongoing mentorship and learning opportunities, and measuring repatriate metrics over time. With a focus on leveraging research insights through structured career management practices, organizations can better capitalize on the expertise gained through international assignments and maintain an engaged community of global leaders.
