Managing dual career expat couples (ePub)

Companies who attract and retain high potentials, have integrated the management of the dual career of expat couples in their HR policies. They have understood that the trailing spouse doesn't want to sacrifice their career to follow the other. Talented, multitasking, educated and financially independent, their expectations have to be taken into account.
Who are these new spouses? What are their personal and professional expectations? How to support their integration and job search?
What tools can employers put in place to tackle those issues?
This book is both practical and interactive. It gathers a collection of real-life accounts, interviews of international mobility experts, as well as practical advice and calls to action. It's targeted to all those who are confronted with the issues of managing dual career expats, and who wish to find ways to tackle new challenges.
