Adapting to the Host Country

A) You are an expatriate (with a spouse and a 6-year-old daughter) sent on assignment for one year to Hong Kong.

What should you do to prepare for departure? Why?

What training should you or your family complete predeparture? Why?

What challenges will you face upon arrival? How can you tell before you even are "in country", so-to-speak?

What expectations do you have from your home and host country organization? Why?

What are the do's and don't's for an expatriate working in Hong Kong?

Support your answers with demonstrated practical examples and facts. If you include any outside sourced information, be sure and include appropriate references.

B) Class- what about planning for the middle of the assignment? What concerns do you all have about the expat feeling home-sick? My company allows for home leave once per year-- the employees are allowed 2 weeks of home leave (paid for by the company) in every 12 month period. Would this help?

C) Class-- I agree that pre-departure training is absolutely essential. Consider the challenges the spouse will face in adjusting to the culture, norms and daily life! What specific training elements Should be covered-- and how much time should leaders spend training the spouses and family members?
