We are opening an office in London and will be sending our first expat over in January. What are the top 3-5 things we should do to prepare the expat for the transition, i.e. bank account, driver's education, appliance exchange, expat support groups, grocery store, utilities, etc. Besides general culture training, what have you learned from sending people overseas?

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
