When International Assignments Become a Disaster

Assigned employees are motivated, highly skilled, and enthusiastic… until they arrive abroad.

 

Work culture, communication, and daily life suddenly feel unfamiliar.
Projects stall, frustration builds, and the “friendly, collaborative approach” that works in Germany can lead to dead ends elsewhere.

 

At the same time, families become unhappy. Partners and children face their own challenges.
They left a good life behind in Germany — and soon the question arises: “Why are we here if everything feels so difficult?”

 

Best case: Declining performance and simply pushing through.
Worst case: Early return.
The worst-case scenario for employees, their families, and HR — with consequences that often continue long after returning to Germany.

 

Meanwhile, HR faces constant pressure as assignments repeatedly turn into costly failures.
(Don’t worry — we can help.)
