Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Emerging market firms can improve the prospects of repatriating professional workers by increasing their career satisfaction in their home country. This can be achieved through measures to provide opportunities that fit their career aims and offer benefits that these employees would be unwilling to sacrifice. Moves to help them readjust back into a different cultural environment should include recognition of skills acquired abroad, provision of organizational support and improved working conditions.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
