The purpose of this book is to improve communications and understanding between employers and expatriate employees by presenting and discussing key aspects of employment in overseas assignments, especially in developing countries, that should be thoroughly understood and agreed to in writing before the employee accepts or is sent to such an assignment. The content is generic and not meant to be critical of anyone or any country. The goal is for employers and employees to be better informed of the various aspects of such employment so that they will (hopefully) avoid many of the pitfalls that can otherwise detract from the relationship. In so doing, they both can realize the benefits from the experience.
