HR Expatriate Training Model Assignment

At some point in your career, you may have an opportunity to prepare for an international assignment within your company, or perhaps you will be the person supporting another employee to be a successful expatriate for your company. In either situation, it is very important to have a standardized process for this training and development. Create an HR training model for an international assignment in China.

Directions: You will think about what must be considered for an employee preparing for an international assignment as an expatriate in China. Specifically, consider the following: a. Think about China where you are designing an HR Expatriate Training Model. b. Consider the employees personal needs. For example, they may need to look at training to work and manage a family in a new country. There may be extra HR negotiations needed to support the family so the spouse does not have to work. What about education? Basically, what else outside the person being an employee needs to be considered before this employee moves to this country? c. Identify how long the training and preparation will reasonably take and how far in advance the training and preparation process should be started (for example, 45 hours). Create a Graphic Diagram of Your HR Training Model. Create a graphic diagram representing the phases of the training model. This is a visual that illustrates the process and flow of the training model design. This could also look like more of a timeline graphic. Your model must include what the training phases will be like.

Annotate your diagram with a two- to three-page written explanation, including specific details describing each phase of the training. Specifically, be sure to address the following: a. What will the employee do for the training? b. What are the desired outcomes (for example, the ability to understand the communication process in the country)? c. How long will each segment of the training take? d. Think about the sequence of training. Can the training topics be completed in any order?
