What are factors that increase expat performance? 🌍 👆 I remember my first time working abroad... I was asked to work the same day I had arrived. The where was a week between accepting the job and arriving in the country. Through a foggy, jetlagged brain I tried to do my best to meet with clients and colleagues. I was left to find my own place to live. I also couldn't speak the local language... I always think back to this time, what would have helped me to perform as an expat better... 🤔 👉 Preparation 👉 Mentoring 👉 Logistical Support 👉 Training 👉 Role Clarity 👉 Support with Cultural Adjustment ...to name just a few. Are there any other areas that could have supported your expat career better? #expatcareer #globalmobility #talentmanagement

As an expat, the journey of living abroad continues to provoke deep reflection. Leaving family behind, missing out on precious moments, and feeling helpless during emergencies—it's all part of the expat experience. There have been days when I have questioned if the sacrifices were worth it, especially when it meant being far from loved ones. But what I have realised is that I am not alone in these feelings. Many international professionals, like myself, face similar challenges. We invest our time, money, and emotions into building careers in foreign lands, driven by the pursuit of growth and opportunity. Yet, one of the biggest reasons talented individuals leave international roles is the lack of recognition and support from organisations. It's crucial for companies to understand the immense efforts and sacrifices their international employees make. When we feel valued and appreciated, it fuels our motivation to excel and contribute our best work. Let's remember the dedication it takes to thrive in international roles and ensure that our organisations acknowledge and support the incredible contributions of global talent. #ExpatLife #InternationalCareer #EmployeeRecognition

✈ Embracing the Expat Journey............ As an expat, the journey of being away from home comes with its own set of challenges and rewards. From adapting to new cultures to building a professional network from scratch. While the distance from home may at times feel daunting, I've come to realize that being an expat is not just about physical distance—it's about embracing change and seizing opportunities that push us beyond our comfort zones. As I reflect on my own expat experience, I'm reminded of my initial excitement along with a tinge of apprehension, as I embarked on my new adventure 11 years ago. Leaving behind the familiar comforts of home was hard at the beginning of course, but little did I know that it would be the catalyst for some of the most profound growth I've ever experienced. From navigating language barriers to adapting to new cultural norms, each day presented its own set of hurdles. But with each challenge came an opportunity to learn, to evolve, and to expand my understanding of the world and myself. As professionals, the expat experience offers invaluable lessons that enhance our careers. It teaches us the importance of adaptability, communication, and cultural intelligence. But I would say for me that the most rewarding aspect of being an expat is the opportunity to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. These connections not only broaden our horizons but also open new doors to great collaborations and possibilities. I'd love to hear from other expats about your experiences and insights.
