How to protect employees during posting abroad

An employee who moves for an assignment abroad, even temporarily, faces a completely new social, political and infrastructural context.

Therefore, it is essential that the Company trains its employees accordingly.

The employee has to be provided with an overview of the Foreign Country’s characteristics, usually concerning local customs, urban safety, driving licenses, but especially in the event of a risk country, also risks related to high crime rate, terrorist attacks, natural disaster etc.
