Migrant Workers & Expatriate Assigments

In the last decades, going abroad became popular since the "American Dream", a lifestyle that was sold in the movies and on the television and in some cases it was not much a dream but a nightmare. So many people started to go and search for a better life in other countries such as United States, the reason? primarily unemployment but in terms of satisfaction of needs, here it comes again the  Maslow´s need hierarchy model that we saw some classes ago.

The Expatriate Assignment: It is when a person is sent abroad to accomplish some specific tasks and get experience from the boundary-less career across organizations and jobs. It requires:

• Socialization
• Acculturation Process
• Re-skilling Process 

This situation brings to the employers different workers profiles that people from other countries can offer.
