As a consequence of globalisation the number of expatriate assignments and postings in Danish companies has increased significantly. This challenges management in new areas and calls for new management strategies.
It is no longer enough for companies to offer good pay and to handle the immediate practicalities of being posted abroad.
Companies are to an increasing degree met with demands and expectations to invest in solutions which care for the welfare of the entire family: a well coordinated introduction, individually tailored settlement programs, career counselling for the spouse, etc.
At the same time, more and more companies have experienced that if failed, expatriate assignments of key employees are very costly.
In the recruitment phase it is often of great significance for the candidate to feel confident that the company will also take care of his/her family; i.e. that the spouse is entitled to assistance when it comes to making a career plan, that the building of a social network will be facilitated etc.
