Expatica HR is a European website designed to assist HR professionals with expatriate employees and programs. While the majority of content is targeted towards European HR practitioners, Expatica HR also offers a broad range of other HR content for international browsers – especially those working in or looking to move to the Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium or Spain.
A considerable portion of the site is dedicated to topical expat issues for HR, such as mobility planning, strategy, intercultural skills, HR resources and expatriate support. Content here is split into two main sections: news and features. News covers the latest local and international HR developments, albeit with a strong European focus. Features offers a number of full-length articles on issues such as expatriate cost management, family and spouse support and career management. It includes a ‘top story’ to draw browser interest, with the most recent being ‘Globetrotting essential for career building.’ It’s well worth browsing through the archives of each HR section, and the site benefits from a fairly comprehensive search engine, which comes in handy when looking for Australian news.
Worth a look for those involved in international expatriate program design.
