We live in a world that is becoming more closely connected every day. Thanks in large part to market integration and ongoing mergers and acquisitions, even small and medium-sized companies (SME's) are already operating on an international level and have numerous locations and branch offices scattered around the globe. Due to a prevalent lack of qualified, local workers, growing international trade often requires sending employees on foreign assignments to and from various countries in order to allow for the transfer of expert knowledge.
Companies currently send their managers and skilled professionals all over the world to lead their subsidiaries or provide on-site specialist support. However, securing the long-term success of growing international companies not only requires the ability to make fast, requirement-specific personnel adjustments, but also the effective integration of foreign employees in the respective national culture. Make no mistake, the cultural demands facing employees and their families in their new host country are just as diverse as the professional challenges awaiting them. Even after special training, problems that arise in an intercultural context are oftentimes very difficult to resolve. In light of these facts, psychological preparation, guidance, consultation, and crisis assistance are essential components for successful integration; these steps can not only help circumvent an early termination of the assignment, but can also prevent subsequent psychosomatic problems and maintain an employee’s ability to work at full capacity.
Once an SME has reached the international level, it is essential that individual HR management processes are implemented and standardized in order to maintain a unified operation. These processes determine the company’s direction, and the manner in which they are implemented and handled reflect their individual corporate culture, corporate mentality, and corporate philosophy. The satisfactory internal optimization of an organization strengthens corporate identity and positively affects the company’s image in the eye of the customer, which in turn has a determining effect on the future development of sales.
