Abstract

The repatriation of employees is a complex process that requires careful management to ensure that the transition is successful for both the individual and the organization. This study examines the talent management issue of repatriates in different eras and highlights the challenges associated with retaining repatriates in the absence of unilateral repatriate retention policies. The study emphasizes the importance of repatriation support practices by organizations to ensure the success of the repatriation process. The research delves into the domain of talent management, exploring the broader issues that organizations face in this area, and then narrows its focus to the specific challenges related to repatriation. The study highlights the global staffing issues related to repatriation and the challenges associated with retaining repatriates in both emerging and developed economies. It stresses the need for organizations to adopt effective repatriation support practices to retain talent and ensure the success of the repatriation process. The findings of the study suggest that organizations need to develop effective repatriation support practices that address the challenges associated with repatriation. These practices should include pre-departure training, ongoing support during the repatriation process, and post-repatriation career planning. The study concludes that organizations that adopt effective repatriation support practices are better able to retain talent and benefit from the valuable skills and experience that repatriates bring to the workplace.
