Career Step Forward

Are you working internationally? Do You aspire to it? Are you involved in talent development or acquisition for international assignments? Then this is for you.
In this series we are looking at qualities, soft skills, attitudes - whatever you want to call it - that come handy when working internationally. We will look at the topic from different angles and bring it to life with real-life examples.
In this episode we are taking a closer look at "hybrid-style" or "mixed-type" international job assignment, namely the ones where the assignee's spouse or family stays in the home location while the assignee spends shorter periods at an international location, combined with virtual work from the headquarter or home location.
We will try to uncover why it is much harder to recognize in what way it influences our relationships, communication, routines, priorities, who shoulders what, what roles we play, how we define ourselves, simply how it changes us, our loved ones, and everything in-between. And of course, only if we become aware of it, we can also do something about it.
It was important to me to make "hybrid-style" assignments a topic on its own, as they are on the increase in general as well as due to limitations during Covid.

In this series we are looking at qualities, soft skills, attitudes - whatever you want to call it - that come handy when working internationally. We will look at the topic from different angles and bring it to life with real-life examples.
In this episode we are talking about the fact that an international job assignment may well affect your personal relationships in your life, first and foremost the one with your spouse, as well as kids or immediate family. Routines are interrupted, you might not be able to stick to agreements or goals you had set, tensions or misunderstandings increase, you might even feel a shift in who you are, how you define yourself. We will talk about what steps you can take, which attitudes to adopt to be on your way to find balanced and tailored solutions for your relationships in these situations.
