Thanks,

I don't think this is a DIY project. I would try to find an international HR/tax/legal consulting firm. I know Mercer, Watson-Wyatt and Hewitt are just a few from the HR side.

There are a lot of pitfalls....such that many times companies find it isn't worthwhile to have just one expat....

Agree. The legal details in doing something like this number in the thousands - get the help of an expert.

How Do We Keep Our Best During Upheaval?

Things are getting scary for us. We recently had to downsize, and since then have lost some of our best people to other jobs. Aside from boosting their pay (which isn't feasible now), what practical steps can we take to keep them from quitting on us?
