What should be done when sending a worker on an international assignment?

  1. Review the support for the employee at the new location

  2. Provide help with language issues

  3. Offer publicity

  4. Provide anything a worker needs before landing in a different location

The correct answer is: Review the support for the employee at the new location

When sending a worker on an international assignment, reviewing the support for the employee at the new location is essential. This involves assessing various factors that can impact the success of the assignment, such as housing, cultural acclimatization, legal requirements, and available resources in the new locale. Ensuring that strong support systems are in place helps to facilitate a smoother transition, allowing the employee to focus on their work rather than getting overwhelmed by logistics or unfamiliarity with the new environment. While providing help with language issues is important for effective communication and integration, it typically falls under the broader category of support. Offering publicity may not directly contribute to the employee's adjustment or success in their role abroad. Moreover, while providing anything a worker needs sounds comprehensive, it lacks the focused approach of systematically reviewing and ensuring structured support before the employee arrives. Thus, prioritizing the review of support mechanisms is vital for ensuring a fruitful international assignment.
