Expatriate Mental Health Issues must stay front and centre … for the sake of the expat and their families as well as the business
I’m encouraged to see more attention given to help expatriates (and repatriates) transition to their new environment compared to even 5 to 10 years ago.
A new AETNA International study found that there was an average 28% increase in expat mental health claims from 2014-2016.
It is imperative to support expats and their families … for their sake as well as their sponsoring organizations. Not addressing mental health issues jeopardizes the international assignee’s personal and professional lives as well as the return on the company’s investment.
